IndriyaIndriya (pāli ; sanskrit, devanāgarī: इन्द्रिय ; japonais : kon) signifie « faculté ». Dans le bouddhisme, les abhidhamma recensent vingt-deux facultés, qui désignent tant les facultés physiques que mentales. Dans l'hindouisme, certaines écoles de philosophie indienne āstika dénombrent dix facultés liées à la perception et à l'action, qui dans la philosophie samkhya font partie des vingt-cinq principes essentiels (tattva). Dans la doctrine du Sāṃkhya de Kapila, on dénombre onze facultés de perception (indriya) exposées dans la Sāṃkhya Kārikā composé par Īśvarakṛṣṇa.
Dhammakaya traditionThe Dhammakaya Tradition or Dhammakaya Movement, sometimes spelled as Thammakaai movement, is a Thai Buddhist Tradition founded by Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro in the early 20th century. It is associated with several temples descended from Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen in Bangkok. The Tradition is distinguished from other Thai Buddhist traditions by its teachings on the Buddhist concept of Dhammakaya and the practice of Dhammakaya Meditation (Vijja Dhammakaya), a method which scholars have connected to the Yogavacara Tradition, which predates the 19th-century reform of Thai Buddhism.
Dhyana in HinduismDhyāna (Sanskrit: ध्यान) in Hinduism means contemplation and meditation. Dhyana is taken up in Yoga practices, and is a means to samadhi and self-knowledge. The various concepts of dhyana and its practice originated in the Sramanic movement of ancient India, which started before the 6th century BCE (pre-Buddha, pre-Mahavira), and the practice has been influential within the diverse traditions of Hinduism. It is, in Hinduism, a part of a self-directed awareness and unifying Yoga process by which the yogi realizes Self (Atman, soul), one's relationship with other living beings, and Ultimate Reality.
Néo-bouddhismeLe néo-bouddhisme (également appelé modernisme bouddhiste, bouddhisme moderne ou encore bouddhisme moderniste) est une appellation qui regroupe un ensemble de nouveaux mouvements caractérisé par des réinterprétations modernes du bouddhisme. David McMahan relève que le modernisme qui imprègne le bouddhisme est similaire à celui que l'on trouve dans d'autres religions.
VimuttimaggaNOTOC The Vimuttimagga ("Path of Freedom") is a Buddhist practice manual, traditionally attributed to the Arahant Upatissa (c. 1st or 2nd century). It was translated into Chinese in the sixth century as the Jietuo dao lun 解脫道論 by Sanghapala. The original text (possibly Pali or Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit) is no longer extant, but the work has survived in Chinese. The book was probably written in India and then later brought to Sri Lanka.
Nirvana (Buddhism)Nirvana (Sanskrit: निर्वाण, ; Pali: ) is "blowing out" or "quenching" of the activity of the grasping mind and its related unease. Nirvana is the goal of many Buddhist paths, and marks the soteriological release from worldly suffering and rebirths in saṃsāra. Nirvana is part of the Third Truth on "cessation of dukkha" in the Four Noble Truths, and the "summum bonum of Buddhism and goal of the Eightfold Path.
