This is one of the most underrated channels on TH-cam. Thank you Dr. Johnson for making this content free and palatable for the people. Will we be seeing more content on Buddhism?
@@goodtothinkwith Amazing! I really enjoy your Eckhart series as well. It's a true art to be able to make such esoteric and philosophical topics comprehensible without diluting its potency.
Very nicely put. As someone who has trodden an essentially Buddhist path for some 50 years, I still stumble when I am asked, 'So what is Buddhism?'. I feel I either want to drop into cliché and talk about the Four Noble truths, the Eightfold path, etc., or I want to explain my practise of Shikantaza - but neither approach seems satisfactory. In the end, I usually try and avoid answering.
Yes indeed. That's why I like the rhetorical effect of apophatic theology. It inserts something disharmonious that begs to be resolved. It's an invitation to think more about something that we would normally just shrug our shoulders and pass by

I really appreciate that, thank you! Yes, I plan on doing more with Buddhism. I have several in the queue (Zen, meditation, Eckhart and Buddhism, …)
