At Alexandria he attended the lectures of Ammonius Saccas, the founder of the system, until 242, when he joined the Persian expedition of Gordian III, with the object of studying Persian and Indian philosophy on the spot. After the assassination of Gordian in 244, Plotinus was obliged to take refuge in Antioch, from where he made his way to Rome and set up as a teacher there. He soon attracted a large number of pupils, the most distinguished of whom were Amelius, Eustochius and Porphyry . The emperor Gallienus and his wife Salonina were also his enthusiastic admirers, and favored his idea of founding a Platonic Commonwealth (Platonopolis) in Campania (recall also Bishop

Plotinus and Vijnanavada Buddhism By McEvilley, Thomas V. 30: 2 (April 1980) pp. 181-193 Thomas McEvilley is Professor in the Institute for the Arts at Rice University. p.181 I. AIMS AND SCOPE As A. H. Armstrong has said, and virtually every scholarly commentator on Plotinus has agreed, "It is possible to derive from the Enneads several divergent and not completely reconcilable constructions of reality." Perhaps the most fundamental question is whether to emphasize the ontic-ontological aspect of Plotinus' thought or its mentalist-idealist aspect. Plotinus himself vacillates between these two emphases in such a way that neither may clearly and finally be identified as his essential meaning. In the first case the three hypostases appear as a series of different relationships between unity and multiplicity (Parmenidean Being and non-Being), in the second case, as a series of different states of sensibility or different subject-object relationships: The One: unity-unio mystica-pure subject Mind: unity-in-multiplicity-intuition-interpenetrated subject and object Soul: unity and multiplicity-sensation and discursive thought alienated subject and object Most commentators have chosen the ontological emphasis, which brings Plotinus more into line with Plato. If this path is chosen, then Plotinus' thought displays certain important similarities with the Upanisadic-Vedaantic philosophy, and a good deal has been written on that subject (though it cannot be said to have been fully explored).
