- Title
Rethinking 'Classical Yoga' and Buddhism: Meditation, Metaphors and Materiality. By Karen O'Brien-Kop.
- Authors
Kapstein, Matthew T
- Abstract
The article "Rethinking 'Classical Yoga' and Buddhism: Meditation, Metaphors and Materiality" by Karen O'Brien-Kop explores the interconnectedness between the Sāṃkhya-Yoga and Buddhist traditions in South Asia. O'Brien-Kop utilizes the theory of conceptual metaphor developed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson to analyze the similarities between the Pātañjala Yoga system and its Buddhist counterparts. The author also examines the historical and cultural connotations of the term "classical yoga" and suggests using the term "śāstra yoga" to encompass the various learned yoga traditions. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of these topics and challenges the traditional boundaries between Hindu and Buddhist studies.
