You're just a bullshit con here, Vag.
The words sama-dhi and sam-aa-dhi are different in meaning. Sama-dhi is not a cognate for Shamataa either. Vag: "But such confusion is common in TM teachers like yourself." This is not an argument but rather the sputtering of your pathetically obsessive mind spouting its pre-defined claims. Calmness is not the same as "state of least excitation". "Furthermore" there is no "we" in this, there is only "you" and your claims. You are well known here on the forum for making spurious claims about so-called "scientific" evidence you have merely continued that here. Better than more of your bullshit, how about the truth - 1. Who are your gurus? 2. What is your sampradaya? 3. You claim to be a Nath. Who is your guru? 4. You claim to practice Shri Vidya. This is a very precise practice. Who initiated you into the sadhana and who explained and trained you how to perform it properly? 5. You claim to be a dzogchenpa. Who is your instructing Lama? Since you say you practice Long-de who gave you the teachings? Please let me know. That way my Lama can write your Lama and find out why you are here on this forum disparaging Maharishi and the Hindu tradition. Did your Lama put you up to this? Aren't you rather just another fake Freemason - only this time claiming to be an Alchemist, a Nath, a Hindoo Tantrika and a Ngakpa? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@...> wrote: > > > On Jul 9, 2011, at 6:04 PM, emptybill wrote: > > > Oh so sorry but you're been given the con's own definition. > > > > There is no "transcending" defined in Buddhist meditation - which is the source lineage for Alan Wallace's concentration training. The Sanskrit word used by Buddhism is shamataa, from Sanskrit "shama" or "calm" plus the Sanskrit word ending "taa" or "-ness". Thus the word is translated as "calmness". > > > You're the one conning people.

In fact, Maharishi Vedic Science makes a point of explaining that the "calm mind" is the actual definition of samadhi: sAma- "calm" and -dhi "mind", samadhi = "the calm mind". Where the two systems vary is in their View (Skt.: dRSTi). Since View determines Fruition, their styles of awakening are different, but the approaches share many similarities, esp. in regard to stages of mental quiesence. > > Furthermore, in the scientific realm we now know that Patanjali yogins in samadhi show the exact same EEG signature as Tibetan yogis in Rigpa.
