Basic goodness is a term coined by Tibetan spiritual teacher Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and is a core concept in his terma. It is used both to discuss the experience of reality and also basic human virtue. In his 1980 Seminary he associates this term with both absolute bodhicitta and specifically the Tibetan term kun.gzhi.ngang.lugs.kyi.dge.ba which comes from the Kadam tradition and refers to the natural virtues of the kunshi or alaya. Specifically he described three virtues: ''unborn'' meaning non-manufactured; ''nondwelling'' meaning that it cannot be pinned down, and ''free from pigeonholing'' meaning that it is beyond conceptual reference points.〔Trungpa (1980) Mayahana Seminary Transcript, pgs 91-94〕 In his 1981 Seminary he described it as also referring to personal wholesomeness and dedication to others.〔Trungpa (1981) Mayahana Seminary Transcript, pg 89〕 Melvin McLeod explains the term with ''basic'' indicating the primordial, self-existing nature and ''goodness'' indicating a faultless aspect.〔Mindful politics: a Buddhist guide to making the world a better place By Melvin McLeod; pp92-93〕 John Miller associated the term with Buddha-nature.〔The holistic curriculum By John P. Miller; p29〕 Trungpa Rinpoche's son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, expressed the relationship between basic goodness and enlightened society in these words: "In essence, the emphasis of the Buddhist path is to help us attain enlightenment, and the emphasis of the Shambhala path is to help us create and maintain a good society. When we put these two together, we have the Shambhalian Buddhist view of enlightened society. Thus the two paths work in tandem, not in competition." ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basic goodness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
