      MYOKEI CAINE-BARRETT: As a Nichiren Buddhist, I rely on the teachings of the Buddha in the Lotus Sutra and also those of Nichiren Shonin, who rejected the distinction between buddhas and human beings. In “On Attaining Buddhahood,” he wrote, “When del

      You Are Already A Buddha

      Nov 22, 2022

      My first experiences learning to meditate were with my late father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. He was a revered meditation teacher, but he lived a very simple life, spending most of his time in a small hermitage on the outskirts of the Kathmandu Valley.

      Meaning and Stages

      Yoga means union with Brahman, the Creator of the universe i.e. Supreme God who is:

      1. One & Only one (Ekammebadwitiyam)

      2. Ubiquitous i.e. exists in every particle of the universe (Sarbam Khallidam)

      3. Invisible & Attribute free (Nirakara & Nirguna)

      Naturally there are no deities in yoga.[1] I use the term Raj-yoga to distinguish it from Lay-yoga, Hath-yoga, Bhakti-yoga, Jnan-yoga and Karma-yoga.

      Yogic philosophy is completely in conformity with true Hindu religion based on the three pious Vedas (Rik, Sam & Yajur) and free from all mysticism, idolatry, occult practices and esoteric rituals.

      Yogic methods are specifically mentioned in the Katha and Shvetashvatara Upanishads
