A devotee asks Adi Da a question about the various forms of Realization in the Zen tradition. Adi Da replies by giving an elaborate description of the understandings within the Zen and other sixth stage traditions, relative to His schema of the seven stages of life.
Avataric Discourses. From mid-2004 to early 2006, Avatar Adi Da offered a unique series of Discourses, broadcast live over the Internet to His devotees worldwide. During these occasions, Avatar Adi Da answered questions from those present in the room with Him, but also from devotees all over the world via speakerphone. As He had always done, even from the beginning of His Teaching Work, Avatar Adi Da addressed each devotee personally, but was also Instructing all beings, in all times and places. Many of these Discourses are available as DVDs and CDs from The Dawn Horse Press.
Stages of life. For more on Adi Da's "seven stages of life" framework, read this article, or read Adi Da's book, The Seven Stages of Life. For further insights, you can also watch an unofficial video seminar on the seven stages of life.
Sixth stage traditions. For more on sixth stage traditions (including Advaita Vedanta and the sixth stage traditions within Buddhism) and their relation to Adi Da's seventh stage Way of Adidam, read Adi Da's book, The Gnosticon, in which He thoroughly examines the Transcendental Teachings of the ancient Sages in relation to His Transcendental Spiritual Way of Adidam.
