The Absolute

The Absolute : 

South Indian Brahmin monk Bodhidharma, who lived during the fifth century CE, is traditionally credited with the transmission of ch’an (dhyana in Sanskrit) to China, from where it migrated to Japan and became known as Zen.According to the Yoga Sutras, dhyana, along with dharana and samadhi, comprise samyama, a term that summarises the comprehensive psychological understanding of absorption in the object of meditation.

Mahayana teachings of the Prajna Paramita are basically a distillation of Vedanta, beautifully summed up in the opening prayer of the Isha Upanishad:

That is the Absolute, this is the Absolute;
From the Absolute, the Absolute becomes manifest;
When the Absolute is added to or taken away from the Absolute,
The Absolute remains.
Aum peace, peace, peace!

Om Namah Shivay.
