Jun 27, 2015 at 11:56 comment added ChrisW Mod @nocomprende The nonduality tag exists now, please see the comment above this one.
Jun 27, 2015 at 11:55 comment added ChrisW Mod @yuttadhammo Thanks for your input. A tag exists if/when it's attached to at least one question. Ahmed, rightly or wrongly, removed it from this question. Instead I just now added it to this question, so now the tag exists, its description can be created/edited, and it can be attached to other questions as necessary.
Jun 27, 2015 at 11:32 comment added yuttadhammo Mod nonduality is a subject worthy of a tag, IMO. Pretty important debate in Buddhism (early Buddhism doesn't support the concept, but the argument is a big one).
Jun 27, 2015 at 2:06 comment added user2341 The 3rd one, yes, but I am reluctant to associate Nonduality strictly with philosophy. It is a daily practice leading to deeper awareness, perhaps like Vipassana? I will try to find more Questions that I would tag.
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:49 comment added ChrisW Mod Sorry for the confusion: when I say "topic" I mean "question", not "tag".
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:44 comment added ChrisW Mod @nocomprende Are there 5 questions which could use the tag? One is buddhism.stackexchange.com/q/9594/254 ... and you're proposing that buddhism.stackexchange.com/q/9431/254 should be tagged nondualism ... buddhism.stackexchange.com/q/1585/254 looks like another ... any others?
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:38 comment added user2341 Looking... Philosophy, Modern-World, Mindfulness, Meditation-Insight, Comparative-Religion, Satipatthana, Beginner, Samatha, Daily-Life, Western-Philosophy, Stages-Of-The-Path, Self, Samadhi, Right-Effort, Reality, Insight, Sunyata... If even 5 of those are actually relevant, you have your list. Did I understand rightly?
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:30 comment added ChrisW Mod Do you have any idea how many topics on this site are related to nonduality at the moment: are there as many as, for example, 5 topics already? If not, will there be any new nonduality-related topics soon, which would want to use that tag? It's no big deal, just that (IMO) it's a bit pointless to create tag for just two topics, which is how most of the existing tags have been defined.
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:25 comment added user2341 See my relevant Question: buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/9594/…
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:23 comment added user2341 Well, I started to create an entire SE site about Nonduality on Area51, but I do not know how to gain enough followers for it to go forward. I think that the lack of awareness of it as a path or method (Self Inquiry) or the widespread prevalence of it is hindering people from being able to learn about it. I could talk about it all day. I am writing a book about using nondual practices in daily life, which does not rely on anyone being "enlightened". But is this site where it belongs? Not sure.
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:17 comment added ChrisW Mod Are there a handful (e.g. 5) topics related to nonduality, which could use that tag?
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:14 comment added ChrisW Mod How many topics would it apply to? If people want to find a topic they can use Search. The real value of a tag is two-fold: to identify topics which don't contain the word e.g. five-precepts to tag topics about ethics or alcohol which might not include the word "precept"; and (theoretically) so that users can create a filter (e.g. if hypothetically some user were only interested in 'meditation' or 'reference-request' topics they could set their profile to filter based on those tags).
Jun 27, 2015 at 1:06 comment added user2341 Oh, the Irony! One of my questions is tagged Nagarjuna because the Nonduality Tag didn't exist yet, and I was not allowed to invent it. I see Nagarjuna to be a person rather than a practice or method or even a goal. So, I would not think most people would see that tag as the same as Nonduality. Of course, no one created the tag before, so there is no way to know. I am not aware of any better word in English. Advaita is one 'variety' of Nonduality, and there is another major one (Emptiness) and some minor ones, so we need One Tag to Rule Them All, as I see it. I might put it on other questions.
