Buddhism is Modern

In March 2009, Sogyal Rinpoche gave two days of teachings in Thimpu, Bhutan, which will be shown on Bhutanese Television. Here is a short extract of his teachings. Visit whatmeditationr... and www.rigpa.org for more into.

In the sutras : a disciple asked Buddha, "what's the use of yoga", answer: Oh! it's nothing, it only brings hapinness

[@amitp2]

I wonder what is his opinion about systems such as Yoga (which btw is more about mind than physical as commonly conceived) which achieve similar goals as that of Buddhist meditation? Isn't that modern?

[@zyxquark]

I like him.

[@adayanayan]

Sogyal is over emphasizing the findings of modern neuroscientific studies on meditation in an effort to bolster his claim that meditation is beneficial and that science is only just now catching up with what the Buddhists knew all along. I agree that meditation may have some benefits, but they are likely much more unremarkable than is commonly claimed.
