Buddhist Yoga
Translated by Thomas Cleary. 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 109 pages, paperback.
While the physical exercises of Hindu yoga are familiar to Westerners, the
subtle metaphysics and refined methods of spiritual development that characterize
Buddhist yoga are not yet well known. This volume presents a translation
of a classical sourcebook of Buddhist yoga, the Sanhinirmochana-sutra, or
"Scripture Unlocking the Mysteries", a revered text of the school
of Buddhism known as Vijnanavada or Yogachara. The study of this scripture
is essential for anyone undertaking meditation exercise. A detailed and
thorough course of study in both the philosophical and pragmatic foundation
of Buddhist yoga. |
