Bussho in Zen, Atman in Vedanta; who can tell the difference? Possibly the methods of each tradition utilized to reach realization of Them are the same. Or are they? They are both described by seers who have experienced Them as being beyond matter, unfixed, non dual, devoid of mass, beyond birth and death, beyond individuality, personality, imagination, and conceptualization, etc. Both traditions insist, as well, that the aspirant is to learn to live in Them, thereby reaching the Final Goal of Liberation — Nirvana/Nirvikalpa. This class series will look at the well-known stages of Ox-Herding in conjunction with how Vedanta utilizes practices such as Sadhanachatushtaya and Atma Vichara to achieve its consummate End.
