• Heard [ken wilber] in budhist geeks with ryan oelke. First three stages of Buddhism are about waking up
  • First stage/turning of Buddhism: nirvana as the goal. Arhat. theravada.
  • Second stage: nirvana and samsara joined. Non-dual. Bodhisattva. [Nagarjuna]. [[mahayana]
    • some rinpoche: The Bodhisattva vow is not about putting off enlightenment really; you need to know the destination to help others get it. The real point is to just not enter Nirvana and leave Samsara behind; rather to stay in a unified state to serve as a bridge.
  • Third stage accepts the second stage. Buddha nature is a wisdom mind, it is always present. Explores mind states more thoroughly. vajrana.
    • kundalini, "energy currents", etc. all come in here?
    • The body is a pathway to the spiritual. tantra.
  • Fourth turning: about growing up (e.g. Piaget, Kegan) and cleaning up (psychotherapy?).
