Sunyata Psychological Research

Post by RobertoKhorviano »

I would like to do some psychological research connected to “emptiness meditation” for my master’s thesis. It means mostly having a nice conversation about emptiness and yourself (or lack of thereof).

It would be helpful if you had Big Five test done… or any interest in relative truth of personality including both Dharma and wordly knowledge (anything from Western psychology of personality to skandhas and dhyani buddhas).

When posting similar post in some Buddhist groups I wrote that a good way to determine if you are the right candidate for my study is… eee… I can’t measure anyone’s realization but it would be good if you can define at least 3 of these words without having to check: śūnyatā - anātman - tathāgatagarbha - prabhāsvara - madhyamaka - prajñāpāramitā.
