Book excerpt: In the present volume of Yoga Unveiled (Part II), the author stress upon to think in harmony with modern ideas and to take a fresh, rational, empirical, pragmatic view of different philosophies and different types of Yoga. He traces very clearly how science has vindicated vedanta and Jnana Yoga and the Doctrine of Maya of Sanskara. In the later part, Mysticism and its psychology, different schools of Mysticism or Yoga including Buddhist Mysticism and Karma Yoga and Hatha Yoga etc., are dealt with. The author concludes that Jnana Yoga is Philosophic, psychological and psycoomatic. Patanjala Astang Yoga is Physic-psychological and philosophical. Buddhism is pure psychology of conciousness and the Zen is psychoanalytical, Language, words and concepts ae termed as distorting mechanism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A provocative essay challenging the idea of Buddhist exceptionalism, from one of the world's most widely respected philosophers and writers on Buddhism and science. Buddhism has become a uniquely favored religion in our modern age. A burgeoning number of books extol the scientifically proven benefits of meditation and mindfulness for everything ranging from business to romance. There are conferences, courses, and celebrities promoting the notion that Buddhism is spirituality for the rational; compatible with cutting-edge science; indeed, "a science of the mind." In this provocative book, Evan Thompson argues that this representation of Buddhism is false. In lucid and entertaining prose, Thompson dives deep into both Western and Buddhist philosophy to explain how the goals of science and religion are fundamentally different. Efforts to seek their unification are wrongheaded and promote mistaken ideas of both. He suggests cosmopolitanism instead, a worldview with deep roots in both Eastern and Western traditions. Smart, sympathetic, and intellectually ambitious, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Buddhism's place in our world today."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels is what makes one a Buddhist - the ever-deepening act by which one turns from the mundane towards the transcendental, and the definitive act of the Buddhist's life, from which all else follows. The practices, precepts and vows that direct a Buddhist's life-style are all subsidiary to that crucial commitment to the ideals embodied by the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
