Obstacles, myths and cargo cults in the practices of yoga and Buddhism - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In the popular consciousness, yoga and Buddhism are perceived as ancient Indian teachings, supposedly preserved unchanged since the time of Patanjali and the Buddha. However, careful historical, linguistic and comparative analysis reveals that these teachings have been significantly altered and distorted by generations of followers, both in their oral and written transmission. The purpose of this book is to help the reader avoid dead-end approaches by revealing the obstacles, pitfalls, myths, and cargo cults that have accumulated over millennia on top of the teachings of Patanjali and the Buddha. This will give the reader the opportunity to move on to the practice of truly efficient methods for developing the supramental structures of superconsciousness, which is the goal of the teachings of these holy figures.
