Buddhism absorbs TM. Om shanti. What say the TB-TM'ers here? "...all follow the same approach, which is to bring the mind to a standstill with a sense of ease and relaxation,"
"Although the Dhammakaya methodology might sound like a particular method (as opposed to mindfulness of breathing or rising & falling) in fact it is approach to meditation whereby one can adapt many of the methods previously mentioned to bring the mind to a standstill at the seventh base of the mind. They are forty different meditation methods listed in The Path of Purity text. Any of these can be adapted by the Dhammakaya approach to train their mind to come to a standstill whether it be reflecting on corpse, focusing on in-breath repeating "buddh-" & on the outbreath repeating "-dho", stilling the mind without any thoughts, or recollecting of the purity of one's Precepts. Any of these methods practiced continuously to the point where the mind is relaxed, will bring the mind to balance, allowing it to drop inwardly to attain the Dhamma sphere inside. By stilling the mind further, meditators will be able to attain the Triple Gem inside. In conclusion, although there are many methods to attain Dhammakaya, all follow the same approach, which is to bring the mind to a standstill with a sense of ease and relaxation, taming the normally wandering mind, turning it inward to a point of balance until finally the Dhammakaya can be attained." > > > > > > > > > > > > As the links from the above page don't work, I try a little bit of > > > > hacking, and yes here: > > > > http://en.dou.us/view_content.php?s_id=44&page=3 > > > > > > > > > > Bluscout, > > > > > > That is one heck of a hack.
