Maestrii din buddhismul Zen(Japonia) ori Chan(China) nu pot fi considerati ignoranti fiindca
recomanda discipolilor lor sa-si inceapa practica cu o singura ramura(anga) si anume cu
meditatia(dhyana), in care se practica simpla asezare a corpului si a mintii (zazen). In epoca
actuala oamenii tind sa vada corpul, respiratia si mintea ca entitati separate, dar prin Yoga Sutra si
zazen ele sunt cuplate si aliniate impreuna pana devin o unica entitate( acesta este sensul
expresiei: "dintr-o bucata", la care facea referire Lao Tzu)
Cineva din Romania, considerat o autoritate in yoga, m-a intrebat:
"Nu este o eroare sa plasezi anga(ramurile) ca mijloace sau cai existente simultan pt. a ajunge la
destinatie
Oare pt a face o ciorba nu trebuie sa trecem prin fazele sau etapele pregatitoare succesive: mai
intai sa punem apa din vas la fiert, apoi sa adaugam legumele, condimentele s.a.m.d.
Adica nu urmam o succesiune de trepte si de etape "
Raspunsul meu la aceasta nedumerire a fost: " ciorba este deja gata si este pusa pe masa, va rog
s-o gustati ! "
"Now you understand why Patanjali opens his book with Samadhi Pada. Each anga is leading to
samadhi (mystic trance) and you can find this fully used in the other yoga ways like Bhakti Yoga,
Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga and Hatha Yoga. Ask those that didn’t believe that using awareness on
breath one can enter in samadhi and realise enlightenment , to see YS:1.34 , or to read Vijnana
Bhairava or to remember vipassana(vipashyana). Zen or chan Buddhist Masters can’t be
considered ignorant for beginning the spiritual practice with seated meditation(dhyana) in which
they practice just the sitting of the body and mind (zazen) We tend to see body, breath, and mind
separately, but in yoga sutra and zazen they come together as one reality.Someone, considered a
yoga authority in Romania, told me that the simultaneous existence of anga is a mistake because to
make a soup you must run through all the preparatory stages: first you put the water to boil, than
you add vegetables and so on…a succession process of steps and stages.
My answer to this question was : "the soup is already on the table, please taste it! "
