The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali: A Biography by David Gordon White他推薦書棘幸,另外一個紐約DJ Nat在讀另一本我也很感興趣:FOUR CHAPTERS ON FREEDOM: Commentary on Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by? Swami Satyananda Saraswati
Pata?jali無疑是一個天才焰扳,具備各方面才能,以下是他主要著作:
his Yoga Sutras into four chapters or books (Sanskrit pada), containing in all 196 aphorisms, divided as follows:
Samadhi Pada(51 sutras). Samadhi refers to a state of direct and reliable perception (pramā?a) where the yogi's self-identity is absorbed into the object meditated upon, collapsing the categories of witness, witnessing, and witnessed. Samadhi is the main technique the yogin learns by which to dive into the depths of the mind to achieve Kaivalya. The author describes yoga and then the nature and the means to attaining samādhi. This chapter contains the famous definitional verse: "Yoga? citta-vritti-nirodha?" ("Yoga is the restraint of mental modifications").
Sadhana Pada(55 sutras). Sadhana is the Sanskrit word for "practice" or "discipline". Here the author outlines two forms of Yoga: Kriyā Yoga and AshtangaYoga (Eightfold or Eightlimbed Yoga).
Kriyā Yoga in the Yoga Sūtras is the practice of three of the Niyamas of A??ā?ga Yoga: tapas, svādhyaya, and i?vara pra?idhana – austerity, self-study, and devotion to god.
A??ā?ga Yoga is the yoga of eight limbs: Yama, Niyama, āsana, Prā?āyāma, Pratyahara, Dhāra?a, Dhyāna, and Samādhi.
Vibhuti Pada(56 sutras).Vibhuti is the Sanskrit word for "power" or "manifestation". 'Supra-normal powers' (Sanskrit: siddhi) are acquired by the practice of yoga. Combined simultaneous practice of Dhāra?ā, Dhyana and Samādhi is referred to as Samyama, and is considered a tool of achieving various perfections, or Siddhis. The text warns (III.37) that these powers can become an obstacle to the yogi who seeks liberation.
Kaivalya Pada(34 sutras). Kaivalya literally translates to "isolation", but as used in the Sutras stands for emancipation or liberation and is used where other texts often employ the term moksha (liberation). The Kaivalya Pada describes the process of liberation and the reality of the transcendental ego.
就這樣我們變成一個Party bus误续,有nicolay在也很有趣吨悍,其他人不是那么 high,我很喜歡Grace蹋嵌,她很湊趣育瓜,我也開始high,跳動起來欣尼,wim照了很不好看的照片記錄事情,我錄像發(fā)到facebook上。
Chip Hartranft's fresh translation and extensive, lucid commentary bring the text beautifully to life. He also provides useful auxiliary materials, including an afterword on the legacy of the "Yoga-Sutra "and its relevance for us today.這是一個Buddhism !值得看愕鼓!Chip’s work bridges the traditions of yoga and Buddhism. He is the founding director of The Arlington Center, dedicated to uniting yoga and dharma practice, and has taught an integration of yoga movement & mindfulness meditation in the Boston area since 1978. Chip is the author of The Yoga-Sutra of Pata?jali: a new translation with commentary (Shambhala)钙态。
How to know god !The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali is a major work on the practice of yoga and meditation. Learn through these aphorism how to control your mind and achieve inner peace and freedom. Although these methods were taught over 2000 years ago, they are as alive and effective today as they have ever been. This translation draws on the inspired commentary from both Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood.
