“Buddhist Yoga” with Jim TarranJuly 14th 2-5pm @ the Brighton Buddhist Centre
In this workshop:
We will explore and compare...
...traditional Buddhist paradigms such as “conditioned co-production” (Sanskrit - pratītyasamutpāda Pāli: paṭiccasamuppāda) with Sāṃkhya yoga features in the Patañjali Yoga Sūtra. We will see how the PYS is a text known to have absorbed huge chunks from the Yogācāra/Vijñānavāda (way of yoga/consciousness only school) Buddhist school which are roughly contempoary to the PYS..
We will practice...
...traditional haṭha yoga and explore its foundations - a Tantrik Buddhist milieu the Amṛtasiddhi - the earliest systematic and well-structured Sanskrit text about what came to be called haṭha yoga. As well as practices from the Tibetan yoga systems.
Overlaps and cross-pollination....
between the Śaiva and Bauddha (Buddhist) traditions are explored through figures like Padmasambhāva and Matsyendra - figures revered in both traditions, the former of whom is dressed in the style usually associated with Śaiva kāpālikas (“skull men”)
Expect:
meditation,
breath practices and
haṭha movements to bring about a sense of being stable in your centre.
We will include a Green Tārā chanting (a beautiful bodhisattva (“mind/energy directed to Awakening”) who personifies centred action. We will explore how such action is inherently compassionate and appropriate to the moment.
