Episode 0837 - Patanjali & Buddha-Dhamma, XVIII [FINAL]
(Click on the above link, or here, for audio.)

Integration of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras with Pali Buddha-Dhamma teaching & practice, Gaudapada's non-dual epistemology (Mandukya Upanishad). From samadhi through chitta-vritti-nirodha to "setting aside finer states." From the Buddhist Three Marks & the higher triad (sunya, tathata, atammayata), to penetration/release.

 Additional references from Pali Buddha-Dhamma, Advaita Vedanta, Ra Material, core Taoism, transpersonal psychology & Christian/Western metaphysics.
