A Mathematical Formulation of Dependent Origination of Gautama Buddha \& Je TsongKhapa

-

 In 1930, Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore held a historically significant conversation at Einstein’s home in Caputh, near Berlin, exploring the nature of reality, truth, and humanity. Their dialogue highlighted a deep divide between Einstein’s belief in an objective, observer-independent reality and Tagore’s view that truth is inherently tied to human consciousness and experience. 


Einstein’s Perspective -

Truth and reality are objective and independent of human observation. If no one is in a room to see it, the table still exists. The Pythagorean theorem, for example, remains valid regardless of humanity's existence.


Tagore’s Perspective -

Truth is intertwined with human consciousness. He believed the universe is a “human universe,” and that reality gains meaning only through perception and the “universal mind.” The ideal of perfect harmony lies in the universal being; truth is the perfect comprehension of the universal mind.


An Example - Imagine a beautiful melody played on a flute in a forest.

Einstein’s view: The sound waves, frequencies, and structure (or signal) of the melody exist objectively—even if no one is there to hear it.

Tagore’s view: Music truly exists only when a human consciousness hears and experiences the melody. Without a listener, it is merely waves or a signal—not “music.”


Ontological Implications of the PhD. Thesis “Functorial Signal Representation” -

In Functional Signal Representation, by examining the problem of what kind of signal structure generates beauty and harmony, this divide appears to be bridged. The framework demonstrates that form is both objective (the usual vector in a linear space) and subjective (it can be viewed as an arrow from the artist’s mind to its faithful expression). Although the mind remains implicit in this chain—and we have taken sheet music as the source to keep the thesis more mathematical—the formulation still shows how consciousness enters signal structure without venturing into the psychology of the artist.


Resulting Mathematical/Scientific formulation of "The Law of Dependent origination Causation" (Sanskrit: Pratiya-Samutpada)

All objects in the phenomenal world are brought into being by the combination of various causes, leading to relativity and non-substantiality of any

form. Viewed from the transcendental perspective, it is called emptiness of (self-)entity. From the phenomenal viewpoint, it is called dependent origination/generation.

This law is recasted as Ray 1 (Mind) ----> Ray 2(Speech) -----> Ray 3(Body), the mind-speech-body (Chitta-Vak-Kaya) being terminology used in ancient India/Tibet. 

In thesis, a new mathematical formula of this law has been worked out taking the example of form being a signal (from electrical engineering) and the cause being the mind of an artist."

Copied Extracts from Mahatma Letters -


1. Letter No. 4 Apparently received 5th November {1880}.


H. P. Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott. arrived at our house, Allahabad, on December the 1st, 1880. Col. O. went to Benares on the 3rd — Madam joined him on the 11th. Both returned to Allahabad on 20th and stayed until 28th.

...

"A crisis, in a certain sense, is upon us now, and must be met. I might say two crises — one, the Society’s, the other for Tibet. For, I may tell you in confidence, that Russia is gradually massing her forces for a future invasion of that country under the pretext of a Chinese war. If she does not succeed it will be due to us; and herein, at least we will deserve your gratitude. You see then, that we have weightier matters than small societies to think about; yet, the T.S. must not be neglected. The affair has taken an impulse, which, if not well guided, might beget very evil issues. Re­call to mind the avalanches of your admired Alps, that you have often thought about, and remember that at first their mass is small and their momentum little. A trite comparison you may say, but I cannot think of a better illustration, when viewing the gradual aggregation of trifling events, growing into a menacing destiny for the Theos. Soc. It came quite forcibly upon me the other day as I was coming down the defiles of Kouenlun — Karakorum you call them — and saw an avalanche tumble. I had gone personally to our chief to submit Mr. Hume’s important offer, and was crossing over to Lhadak on my way home."

2. From Letters No. 26 (KootHoomi’s Confidential Memo about Old Lady (H.P Blavatsky) {Received by A.O.Hume., Simla, mid- to late September, 1881}


...

This state of hers (H.P Blavatsky) is intimately connected with her occult training in Tibet, and due to her being sent out alone into the world to gradually prepare the way for others. After nearly a century of fruitless search, our chiefs had to avail themselves of the only opportunity to send out a European body upon European soil to serve as a connecting link between that country and our own. You do not understand? Of course not. Please then, remember, what she tried to explain, and what you gathered tolerably well from her, namely the fact of the seven principles in the complete human being.

Thoughts on "The Voice of the Silence by H. P. Blavatsky

‘The only true exposition in English of the Heart Doctrine of the Mahayana and its noble ideal of self sacrifice for humanity.’ — His Holiness the 9th Panchen Lama

"I believe that this book has strongly influenced many sincere seekers and aspirants to the wisdom and compassion of the Bodhisattva Path." - H.H. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama.

"Undoubtedly Madame Blavatsky had in some way been initiated into the deeper side of Mahayana teaching and then gave out what she deemed wise to the Western world... Here is the real Mahayana Buddhism." 

- Dr. D. T. Suzuki.

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

-
Image
 Album The Yoga of Synthesis  Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...

A Buddhism Retreat - Part III

-
Image
Dated May/June 2025. 1. A Darshan As we meditated and learned some key concepts of Mahayana Buddhism, the air within the monastery was mildly perfumed with the delicate scent of Tibetan essence. Outside, the bees hummed among the native flowers, intoxicated by their fragrance. On the nearby trees, the monkeys leaped and swung, and the outside air was filled with the chirp of small birds and insects.       Deceived by material prosperity and addicted to comforts (I am not against either of these, but against the ever-increasing production of goods or the culture of consumerism to gratify men's insatiable desires; or to hide the unpleasant facts of life), the majority of "modernistic" men have deprived themselves of the opportunity and privileges of leading a truly satisfying life of spiritual freedom as their ancestors once did. As I took a Tibetan Buddhist retreat on the Himalayan heights, I could readily experience that it was immensely easier for the materially “ba...

The Light remained in him a longer space

-
Image
 Always the power poured back like sudden rain, Or slowly in his breast a presence grew; It clambered back to some remembered height Or soared above the peak from which it fell. Each time he rose there was a larger poise, A dwelling on a higher spirit plane; The Light remained in him a longer space. In this oscillation between earth and heaven, In this ineffable communion’s climb There grew in him as grows a waxing moon The glory of the integer of his soul. A union of the Real with the unique, A gaze of the Alone from every face, The presence of the Eternal in the hours Widening the mortal mind’s half-look on things, Bridging the gap between man’s force and Fate Made whole the fragment-being we are here. Ashwapati’s falls do not last and the power of Lord or that supreme Diplomat, keeps returning back like a sudden shower. It gradually grows into a Divine presence in Ashwapati’s heart. Ashwapati’s consciousness then climbs back to a height that it remembers having reached earlier. ...
