AN 4.10 (A ii 10)
Yoga Sutta
— Yokes —
[yoga]
What the Buddha means when he talks about yoga and yogakkhema (rest from the yoke).
English
Monks,
there are these four yokes. Which four? The yoke of sensuality, the
yoke of becoming, the yoke of views, & the yoke of ignorance.
And
what is the yoke of sensuality? There is the case where a certain
person does not discern, as it actually is present, the origination, the
passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the escape from
sensuality. When he does not discern, as it actually is present, the
origination, the passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the
escape from sensuality, then — with regard to sensual objects — he is
obsessed with sensual passion, sensual delight, sensual attraction,
sensual infatuation, sensual thirst, sensual fever, sensual fascination,
sensual craving. This is the yoke of sensuality.
And
how is there the yoke of becoming? There is the case where a certain
person does not discern, as it actually is present, the origination, the
passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the escape from
becoming. When he does not discern, as it actually is present, the
origination, the passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the
escape from becoming, then — with regard to states of becoming — he is
obsessed with becoming-passion, becoming-delight, becoming-attraction,
becoming-infatuation, becoming-thirst, becoming-fever,
becoming-fascination, becoming-craving. This is the yoke of sensuality
& the yoke of becoming.
And
how is there the yoke of views? There is the case where a certain
person does not discern, as it actually is present, the origination, the
passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the escape from views.
When he does not discern, as it actually is present, the origination,
the passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the escape from
views, then — with regard to views — he is obsessed with view-passion,
view-delight, view-attraction, view-infatuation, view-thirst,
view-fever, view-fascination, view-craving. This is the yoke of
sensuality, the yoke of becoming, & the yoke of views.
And
how is there the yoke of ignorance? There is the case where a certain
person does not discern, as it actually is present, the origination, the
passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the escape from the six
sense media. When he does not discern, as it actually is present, the
origination, the passing away, the allure, the drawbacks, & the
escape from the six sense media, then — with regard to ignorance
concerning the six sense media — he is obsessed with not-knowing. This
is the yoke of ignorance.
This
is the yoke of sensuality, the yoke of becoming, the yoke of views,
& the yoke of ignorance. Conjoined with evil, unskillful mental
qualities — defiling, leading to further becoming, unhappy, resulting in
suffering & stress, and in future birth, aging, & death — one
is said not to be at rest from the yoke. These are the four yokes.
Now,
there are these four unyokings. Which four? Unyoking from sensuality,
unyoking from becoming, unyoking from views, & unyoking from
ignorance.
And
what
is unyoking from sensuality? There is the case where a certain All the
branches throughout the country must propagate Buddha’s own words from
Theravada Tipitaka using the latest AI technology for the happiness and
peace for all societies. Write about Buddhist Patanjali yogic meditation

And what is Yogic Breathing (Pranayama)
�Pranayama
is loosely translated as prana (pra-aana) or breathe control.�Breathing
affects our state of mind. It can make us excited or calm,�tense or
relaxed. It can make our thinking confused or clear. In the�ancient
yogic tradition, air is the primary source of life force,
a�psycho-physio-spiritual force that permeates the universe.
Yogic�breathing is used in yoga as a separate practice to help clear
and�cleanse the body and mind. It oxygenates the lungs by getting rid
of�enormous quantity of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases. It is
also�used in preparation for asana, the practice of yogic postures
and�meditation, to help maximize the benefits of the practice, and focus
the�mind.

• The Yoga Suttas of Patanjali: a manual of Buddhist meditation.
• ��������The Yoga Suttas of Patanjali: a manual of Buddhist meditation.�
• Translation�and free adaptation of the article published on the blog “Theravadin -�Theravada Practice Blog” (http://theravadin.wordpress.com/ ).�We
consider here the Yoga Suttas of Patanjali, a classical text and
revered in Hinduism, dated at approx. 200 BC and compared its semantics
and vocabulary to Buddhist canonical texts. In�summary, this comparison
is quite obvious that the author of Yoga Sutta�was highly influenced by
Buddhist philosophy and meditation practice,�possibly contemporaneously
to the author.�Moreover,�it appears that a student of Buddhist canonical
texts may in fact be�more easily understood than the Yoga Sutta a Hindu
practitioner with no�other previous reference parameter practical and
philosophical. We�do not consider comments here later Hindu / Brahman
existing this text,�some of which seem to avoid (or ignore) the original
references to�Buddhism in this text.�The�proximity of the Yoga
Sutta-style, vocabulary, and subject to canonical�texts in Pali could
also mean simply that Patanjali - or whoever it is�that inspired his
writings - had practiced meditation from a Buddhist�contemplative
community, a community of monks for a time before�returning to
Brahmanism and then the movement would have rephrased his�experience in
order to add a divine touch to your experience, making�substantial use
of technical terms of Buddhist meditation, as originally�framed or
developed by the Buddha for the purpose of contemplative�practice. But
this would be pure speculation, because there is so far no studies or
historical finding that supports this understanding.�It�is also
possible, even likely, that the Buddhist meditation had so�broadly
permeated the practice Hindu / Brahman at the time (after years�of a
strong cultural influence began with Buddhist proselytism promoted�by
Ashoka the Buddhist Sangha in his reign and Consolidation of
India),�that these technical terms as well as descriptions of practice
of jhana /�dhyana (meditative absorptions) have it built into common
knowledge at�the point of no longer sounding particularly Buddhists.

consider here the Yoga Suttas of Patanjali, a classical text and
revered in Hinduism, dated at approx. 200 BC and compared its semantics
and vocabulary to Buddhist canonical texts. In�summary, this comparison
is quite obvious that the author of Yoga Sutta�was highly influenced by
Buddhist philosophy and meditation practice,�possibly contemporaneously
to the author.�Moreover,�it appears that a student of Buddhist canonical
texts may in fact be�more easily understood than the Yoga Sutta a Hindu
practitioner with no�other previous reference parameter practical and
philosophical. We�do not consider comments here later Hindu / Brahman
existing this text,�some of which seem to avoid (or ignore) the original
references to�Buddhism in this text.�The�proximity of the Yoga
Sutta-style, vocabulary, and subject to canonical�texts in Pali could
also mean simply that Patanjali - or whoever it is�that inspired his
writings - had practiced meditation from a Buddhist�contemplative
community, a community of monks for a time before�returning to
Brahmanism and then the movement would have rephrased his�experience in
order to add a divine touch to your experience, making�substantial use
of technical terms of Buddhist meditation, as originally�framed or
developed by the Buddha for the purpose of contemplative�practice. But
this would be pure speculation, because there is so far no studies or
historical finding that supports this understanding.�It�is also
possible, even likely, that the Buddhist meditation had so�broadly
permeated the practice Hindu / Brahman at the time (after years�of a
strong cultural influence began with Buddhist proselytism promoted�by
Ashoka the Buddhist Sangha in his reign and Consolidation of
India),�that these technical terms as well as descriptions of practice
of jhana /�dhyana (meditative absorptions) have it built into common
knowledge at�the point of no longer sounding particularly Buddhists.

wandering, circling, confused. In�this context broadly means “meditation
is (…) a stop to the busy mind,”�which is very active and its activity
suggests a walk in circles. Probably the most direct (and correct)
translation.

If sati is simply the seizure of an object (the paṭṭhāna�of sati, so to
speak), so it’s interesting to see how sampajaññā this�case, is
identified with the state of the first jhana. Could this mean that when
the Buddha mentions these two texts in Pali, which implicitly means
samatha-vipassana?

In this way, the truth is filled with wisdom.
This
is one area in which our contemporary knowledge of Buddhism can benefit
from insights. The term “Dharana”, which literally means short and “I
can hold, carry, keep (in mind)” is a good description of the task faced
in Buddhist contemplative practice, regardless of what tradition /
schoolconsidered.In meditation we also need to maintain our meditation
object firmly in focus in mind, without losing it. This central feature
of the task undertaken when trying to cultivate meditative
concentration, relates as an equivalent to the literal meaning of the
Buddhist term “sati” (which means reminder / recall) and what is general
and now translated simply as “mindfulness” - a translation that often
aboard with questions.And the reason is as follows, in summary: To
maintain the object of meditation in mind you need to remember it.
Remember here that means you have to hold, keep in mind, your object of
concentration. This is exactly what makes the faculty of memory, usually
being pushed away by the impressions with new information by the six
senses, which, if penetrated, would result in more or less a wild
spin.If you are able to sustain their concentration on one point however
- or even as much as you can keep it, one of the laws of functioning of
the mind that the Buddha rediscovered and explained in detail that this
rebate is “artificial” senses the support and focus on a particular
mental object equivalent to a minor sensory stimulus.As a result of
mental calmness and happiness (piti) and happiness index (sukha) will
arise and show signs of the primeirs a stronger concentration - these
being two of the five factors of meditative absorption (jhana), along
with (i) directed thought (vitakka) (ii) sustained (Vicara) and (iii)
equanimity (Upekkha).This is also the reason why is quite logical that
samma sati, mindfulness, has to come before samma samadhi, full
concentration in the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism - or, as shown in
this case in the Yoga Sutta, “Dharana” would be the stage immediately
prior to “Delivering the Samadhi.”In this case the Yoga Sutra throws
much light on the original meaning as understood in the early centuries
of Buddhist practice and can help us reach a more precise understanding
of what “samma sati, right mindfulness, originally meant or pointed. (In
Theravadin blog post is a rather plain and that shows how sati yoniso
manasikara are coming in practical terms, check this link ).On the
opposite side, or better, understanding it as a byproduct of the
practice of sati is no other term that would best be described as
“mindfulness.” The Pali term is sampajaññā - which literally means
“next-consideration”, eg, be well aware of when performing an action,
then a “clear understanding” of what it does - but this activity is a
result of sati, as having the mind fixed on an object leads to a refined
consciousness that arises when during the next and keep the mind of an
object, creating a clear understanding of the few sensory impressions
that may enter. According to this concept, mindfulness would be a result
of sati and not the practice of sati in itself!But again, both
activities are happening almost simultaneously, even if not in the same
order and then the current use of the term translated can be done - at
the same time a fine distinction, however, has its benefits. You can not
keep an object from the standpoint of mind without which would create
or develop mindfulness in mind - but (unfortunately!) you may be aware
of all your actions that you work without the right concentration - as
when eat an ice cream, in seeking the sensual pleasure, an example of
improper care. This being the fact that unfortunately idealize the
interpretations of some Westerners who want to say “Buddhist”.There is a
difference between deliberately let himself be led by sense impressions
by focusing on their physical pleasures and enhancing / supporting raga
(desire) and nandi (joy) - and, from the perspective of Gotama Buddha,
put his feet on the ground using the mindful memory and thus
experiencing a more refined awareness of trying to get it off the shaft
so that it results in a greater mindfulness, in the culmination of his
experience flows into total equanimity in the face of both pleasurable
and painful sensations.Thus, then, we must understand as vipassanā is no
way a synonym for mindfulness (sati) but something that springs from
the combination of all these factors especially the last two, samma sati
(mindfulness) and samma samadhi (right concentration) applied to the
relentless observation of what appears to be in front of (yathabhuta).
What
makes this fascinating idea is that this text would definitely be
filterable through the eyes of a Hindu / Brahman, but he is still
influenced by the “knowledge” of Buddhist meditation apparently so well
received, and the time of his writing had become the mainstream
“contemplative practices. This would show us how and in what particular
point, was considered to be the “essence” of meditation (in addition to
being philosophical discussion of its purpose) in order to be considered
universally true, then that can be “merged” into other forms of
practice religious.Under this view, the Yoga Sutta is actually quite
revealing. Consider a few passages that copies may shed light on this
idea. Passages like the following really seems a direct copy and paste
the Buddha-Dhamma. Some of them even make much sense in a context of
religious doctrine theological-in-search-of-the-soul-creationist , but
it fits absolutely in the philosophy of liberation through concentration
and wisdom. However, they were considered “truth” and “accepted” so
that the author Hindu / Brahman had no other choice but to incorporate
them into their theistic philosophy, reminding us Western Christians
today that due to the common acceptance of the idea karma / kamma,
sometimes find ways to incorporate this idea in their religious
views.Let’s start seeing the following list of impurities that Yoga
Sutra tells us must be overcome:“Avidya (ignorance), Asmita (egoism),
raga-Dvesha (desires and aversions), Abhinivesha (clinging to mundane
life) are the five klesha or distress. Destroy these afflictions [e] You
will realize Samadhi. “[Free translation of the original quote from
Wikipedia]What impresses the reader as Buddhist before this paragraph is
the simple fact that all these impurities listed are those that no
longer are you supposed to Arahant one, or Awakened (!!!). That is,
according to the text of Patanjali, the “Samadhi of Conduct” would be
conceptually the same as the Buddhist Liberation.Consider the terms
used:Avijja, ignorance or mental turvidão is even mentioned in the first
place, while clearly a Buddhist point of view is considered the root of
all problems.Then “asmita”, which is superficially translated as
“selfishness” by understanding that had developed in shallow Sanskrit
tradition that was ignorant of the deeper meaning of that term as used
in the suttas of the Pali Canon (or tried to distort to suit your
context religious).This term Buddhist in particular, pointing to the
deeply embedded “notion that it is” (ASMI-tā) has a clear explanation in
the suttas, but here in this passage and elsewhere, is reduced to a
mere “selfishness” as a moral impurity devoid of its original
psychological application. In the suttas “ASMI-Mana” is a deeply rooted
psychological tendency that only a Arahant (Iluminsfo) won [see post
“The scent of am” blog Theravadin].And there is also “abhinivesa”, a
term the Buddha uses to explain how our mind comes in and assumes the
five groups of attachment. The term “Nives” denotes a dwelling, a house -
a simile brought by the Buddha to show how our consciousness moves
“inside” of the contact experience of the senses and settles as if
living in a house (see Sutta Nipata, Atthakavagga , and Haliddakani
Magandiya Sutta Sutta). This usage is decreased very particular
psychological context in Hindu / Brahmin to denote only an “attachment
to worldly life.”But here is worth questioning whether this was also
shared by superficial understanding or just by Patanjali Yoga Sutra
later commentators, who have lost sight of these implications for not
having knowledge of or access to the preceding context of Buddhism in
the Yoga Sutra was written?And sometimes something awakening about the
“sati” Buddhist can also be found. We have another pearl of a Buddhist
point of view, which can be considered truly revealing: the use of the
word “Dharana” in the text of Patanjali
