介绍:
The Japanese Buddhists call “self-power”versus”other-power.” All meditation breaks down into those two types. Self-power is epitomized by Zen, by vipassana, by jnana yoga. Here, one relies strictly on one’s own powers of concentration and awareness in order to break through the ego to a larger identity. In other-power, one relies on the power of the guru, or on God, or simply on complete surrender…Ramana Maharshi said that there are two ways to enlightenment: either inquire, “Who am I?,” which undermines the ego completely, or surrender to the gutu or God and let God strike down the ego. Either way the ego is undone and the Self shines forth.
