Feedback-40 + (Hi Marcus)

Feedback-3 + (I have found this video recording of a ser … I have found this video recording of a series of talks (tibetan/French) on the Rgyud bla ma given by Gueshe Lodèn at Vajra Yogini Institute in France. This is part of a 7 year study program called PEBA (Basic Program).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrJQCxXDOZY&feature=youtu.be&list=PLtQXPI5D49iS1xsoawCBlmmDzdkVzSs4L1/... - Le continuum sublime du mahayana (PEBA mod7 18.07.17) - Guéshé LodènPEBA (Programme d'Etudes Bouddhiques Approfondi) MODULE 7 : Le continuum sublime du mahayana. Enseignement donné par Guéshé Tènzin Lodèn à l'Institut Vajra Yogini (http://www.institutvajrayogini.fr) - juillet 2017 - Téléchargements des mp3/vidéos : http://www.institutvajrayogini.fr/AVP... - Description : Cet enseignement figure parmi les plus importants dans toutes les traditions du bouddhisme tibétain et s’attache principalement à élucider le sens de notre nature de bouddha, en particulier la vacuité de l’esprit qui permet d’évoluer vers un état d’éveil complet. Les enseignements sont ouverts à tous mais il est fortement conseillé d’avoir déjà une bonne connaissance des enseignements du lamrim, notamment sur la vacuité. Le Programme d'études bouddhiques approfondi (Péba) est une occasion unique d'approfondir la théorie comme la pratique du bouddhisme tibétain en étudiant une grande variété de sujets fondementaux sur les bases de textes racine traditionnels séléctionés par Lama Zopa Rinpoché. Le but essentiel étant de mieux intégrer le Dharma dans la vie quotidienne, ce programme met l'accent sur une approche équilibrée combinant enseignements, classes de révision, groupes de discussion, pratique de la méditation, lectures, travail personnel, et retraites. L’accent est également mis sur le respect de l’éthique et le développement de l’esprit de service. Les modules de ce programme sont enseignés par Guéshé Tènzin Lodèn tout au long de l'année, à raison d'un week-end par mois et pendant une semaine en été. Les 12 modules sont : Les étapes de la voie (lamrim) - L'esprit et ses fonctions (lorig)- Le soutra du cœur - S'engager dans les activités des bodhisattvas (bodhisattvacharyavatara) - Les vues philosophiques selon les 4 écoles (droupta) - Le continuum sublime du mahayana (gyulama) - L'entrainement de l'esprit dans le mahayana (lodjong) - L'ornement des réalisations claires - Les terres et les chemins tantriques - Les 70 sujets - La mort, l'état intermédiare et la renaissance - Commentaire d'une pratique de tantra supérieur. Guéshé Tènzin Lodèn est né à Bylakouppé, dans le sud de l’Inde, en 1961. Il entre au monastère de Séra Djé à l’âge de 9 ans et y poursuit ses études jusqu’à l’obtention du titre de guéshé. Il passe ensuite plus de six ans en retraite stricte. Fin 2007, à la demande de Lama Zopa Rinpoché, il devient l'enseignant résident de l'Institut Vajra Yogini. l'enseignant résident de l'Institut Vajra Yogini.)
Feedback-76 + (I just went through the Discover section a … I just went through the Discover section and got fairly disoriented. For me, I think the biggest problem was when links on pages took you to a new tab or replaced the tab you are on. I really wasn't able to determine a reason for one or the other. So, after following a trail of links, it was often not easy to find my way back to where I had started. Sometimes it was the back button, sometimes it was a different tab. One suggestion that I have is that when you are on a discover page with Slide menu bar on the bottom, the links from those pages should always take you to another tab. That way, the "Discover" portion of the trail is always still there. It's easy to always get back to where you started. Additionally, I think the placement of the Explore More box with the word "Continue" on it is oddly placed. It's placement between the end of a slide's content and the Slide Bar was disorienting at first. At first I expected it to explore more of the topic I had just finished reading, but it doesn't. I think it hinders the smooth movement from slide to slide. I think the word "continue" should be removed, because it doesn't really feel like it continues. Going to the next slide would feel like a continuation. Finally, the content that is found down there doesn't seem at first glance to be helpful in moving someone from the beginning of interest in BN to the deeper exploration. Maybe I don't know the reason for this section. I don't know the reason for this section.)
Feedback-31 + (I know this might seem too picky, but I fi … I know this might seem too picky, but I find it a bit odd to have the tagline for "Explore" to be "Buddha-nature is at the heart of every Mahayana Tradition." As I am sure you are aware, there are Mahayana "traditions" that deny/ignore buddha nature or only consider it to be a peripheral doctrine, including some Tibetan traditions. I would instead suggest "many Mahayana traditions" or, "is a core teaching of the Mahayana tradition/Mahayana traditions."e Mahayana tradition/Mahayana traditions.")
Feedback-43 + (I might suggest in addition to "Gyu Lama" … I might suggest in addition to "Gyu Lama" in the heading, The Titles of the Gyu Lamausing Tibetan, Wylie. It's not very appealing to scholars and Tibetan readers to have just Tibetan phonetics :)popup:The Ultimate Continuum (text title), often referred to as the Gyulama in the Tibetan tradition. This is the short title often used for the key source text of buddha-nature teachings, the Ratnagotravibhāga of Maitreya/Asaṅga, also known as the Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra. Skt. उत्तरतन्त्र Tib. རྒྱུད་བླ་མHere "ultimate continuum" is used but in the main text "superior continuum" is used -- is this intentional? it might be confusing. And I'm not sure what is being said. The Ultimate Continuum (text title), can't be often referred to as the Gyulama, it is an English translation for rgyud bla ma. So, is the meaning something like this:The "Superior Continuum" (Tib. Gyu Lama, rGyud bla ma རྒྱུད་བླ་མ) is often used as a short title in the Tibetan tradition for this key source text of buddha-nature teachings: the Ratnagotravibhāga of Maitreya/Asaṅga, also known as the Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra.

On a small screen it's really distracting to have that image and on large screen, less so but there's a lot of wasted space to the right.I'm going to send Marcus 2 screen shots to show what I mean.It’s distracting and hard to read content that has italics, Chinese, and lightly underlined words with a line circling through it — and next the Maitreya image even blue :) Maybe that blue could be more faded?ue :) Maybe that blue could be more faded?)

I know it messes with the two line aesthetic if you want to keep both, but it's a multilingual page and only somebody who reads Tibetan will know which root verses its refers to. And then maybe on the root verse page, instead of Pinyin we should include the French title.Pinyin we should include the French title.)
Feedback-28 + (I think we should change the sidebar for the root verse. Maybe have an expandable/collapsible button for each chapter that contains those chapter verses. Otherwise there's going 400 something verse listed in the side bar)

It feels more intermediate to me." Also, "The metaphors of the statue and the mango seed should come earlier."

Feedback-27 + (Melvin McLeod: I looked most closely as th … Melvin McLeod: I looked most closely as the beginners' area, because that's where we work a lot. I do think the language of the introductory paragraphs is too complex---some long sentences and paragraphs that take real work to follow. I urge you to look for simple, declarative sentences, at least in the initial paragraphs. Then it can become more complex. My suggestion is to model this section after the kind of language Mingyur Rinpoche uses in the Lion's Roar piece you feature. I think the emphasis here should be on simplicity, clarity, and accessibility.Aside from perhaps making the beginner material clearer and punchier, they're all pretty minor. Congrats on a great job.all pretty minor. Congrats on a great job.)

Feedback-12 + (Thank you for sharing your test release of … Thank you for sharing your test release of the Buddha Nature page. I've just taken a brief look today, so I'll just give you my initial impressions, so don't take them with much weight. The design of the sight is very beautiful. Excellent really in terms of themes, color, backgrounds, etc...One thing, the text appearing over transparent over the line art backgrounds, while very aesthetically pleasing, does create a distraction to read. My other critique, perhaps some more thought could be put into the audiences entrance into the material, from the front page there seems to be two links for "Discover" and "Explore". The presentations these links lead down seem good and the summaries are well written, but maybe feel a bit un-parsimonious. Like suddenly there are some videos thrown at you, but why are you selecting these videos in particular, as a viewer, how should I engage with this, it felt a bit disorienting. I'm not sure what the solution is, I realize you are making this site for a very wide range of audiences (people new to Buddhism, practitioners, scholars, and researches). Maybe try to make these entrances more explicit, I don't know. Maybe as a reader, particularly if I am approaching the site as a practitioner, or someone new to Buddhism, I would want a more linear presentation for how to engage with the material. Maybe that is my own personality though.I also had the impression like I couldn't get a clear view of all the resources: The library tab, resources tab, and literature tab, branch into overlapping menus, which makes me feel like I am perhaps missing something in one of the other menus. I don't know what the solution here is either, I know you have a lot of resources to organize and present, but maybe add some thought into this. Anyways, these are just initial critiques that I came up with, I felt like I should cook something up to say, so I tried to think of what could be improved. But otherwise this is really beautiful, I most appreciate the access and presentation to the symposium and then have the sources and articles related to those nearby. Also as always the design is really superb, and the transitions through the website are quite eloquent despite the organizational issues, and readability issues I mentioned.Thanks so much for sharing. I'll be sure to look deeper when I have some time and add anything else that comes to mind. and add anything else that comes to mind.)
