| | Dhyana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi, and Meditation by Swami Nirmalananda Giri | | | According to the Hindu Yoga Sutra dhyana is one of the eight methods of Yoga, (the other seven methods are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, and Samadhi). | | | Dhyana is distinct from Dharana in that the meditator becomes one with the object of meditation and is able to maintain this oneness for 144 inhalations and expirations. |

| | Vipassana Dhyana is not yoga, which is arduous and complex. | | | Vipassana Dhyana is a very simple technique through which the Buddha became enlightened. | | | Before dhyana was a part time job and with Buddha it is synonymous with life like breathing. |

| | The 9 Samadhi Absorptions (dhyana, jhana, jnana) |
| | The first dhyana is the lowest of these attainments, the second dhyana is a degree higher in spiritual purity, the third dhyana is yet higher in terms of spiritual refinement, and the highest meditative level of the four is the fourth dhyana. | | | The second dhyana corresponds to a firmer or higher level of being within the Form Realm, and by the time a spiritual practitioner has reached the third and fourth dhyana in their meditation work, their level of spiritual attainment has progressed to the very top stages of the Form Realm. | | | The five poisons that inhibit the attainment of the dhyana are desire, anger, pride, ignorance, and doubt (lack of faith). |

| | It must be borne in mind that in Dhyana the visualizing of the form is, imperative, as otherwise it becomes only Chinta i.e., merely a reflection on an idea, and this is not Dhyana. | | | Where the forms meditated upon are those of the Deities endowed with auspicious qualities already mentioned, it leads to good results in material life - peace and plenty, and the devotee is said to reach swarga - mental heaven - after he vacates his body. | | | Dhyanam chintarupamsyat - Dhyana is of the form of Chinta. |

| | Dhyana is the stage of meditative trainings that lead to Samadhi. | | | At the dhyana stage the meditative work is especially effective if it is performed at special “places of power” — areas on the Earth’s surface that have an energetic impact on human beings. | | | At the next stage their efforts will be focused upon interaction of individual consciousness with Consciousness of the Universal God and upon merging with Him in His Fiery Aspect as well as in the Infinity of the “trans-mirror realm”. |

| | Moksha Journal - Yoga and Meditation (Dhyana) - by Georg Feuerstein |
| | The Sanskrit word dhyana, derived from the verbal root dhyai ("to contemplate, meditate, think"), is the most common designation both for the meditative state of consciousness and the yogic techniques by which it is induced. | | | That is to say, in the meditative state all arising ideas tend to naturally revolve around the chosen object of meditation to the exclusion of sensory stimuli. | | | In the oldest Upanishads, dhyana is not yet recognized as a formal component of the spiritual path. |

| | This being the case, although dhyana constituted a separate transmittal outside of the teachings, in actuality, it is because the teachings bring forth a corresponding realization that one then [succeeds in] perceiving the non-dual path of the buddhas and patriarchs. | | | The particular lineage of the dhyana gateway transmits the seal of the buddha mind. | | | From these [examples] we know that as it came down to us from the Buddha and the patriarchs the intent was only to instruct a person in obtaining a complete awakening to his own mind and in the recognition [of the true nature] of the "self," that's all. |

| | Nonetheless, we cannot fault the four dhyana in any way, and must recognize that they are common stages of the spiritual cultivation path shared by all schools of genuine spirituality, so you must become familiar with these stages and learn their various characteristics as well as the general level of attainment which they represent. | | | The second and third dhyana of Buddhism can both be classified as just vicara, which is mental reflection or observation, but the third dhyana is distinguished by the fact that it is characterized mainly by bliss (ananda). | | | Of the eight samadhi, the first four dhyana are heavily involved with the form and feeling skandhas, although of course the fourth dhyana is treading into the realm of the conception aggregate. |
