idquest Posted May 9, 2021 Swami Lakshmanjoo talks about the final goal in Kashmir Shaivism (tantra). From my personal study (which is very limited of course) Chinese neidan and Kashmir Shaivism are very closely related. I could also add to this mix tantrick Buddhism as well. Not talking about Hatha yoga which is a direct offshoot of tantra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is also congruent with Advaita Vedanta, though the Vedantin would say “experience is great, but the complete realization of our universal nature is what is of greater importance”. What in this do you find to be similar to Neidan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idquest Posted May 10, 2021 I should have been more accurate in my OP. It is not the goal that I compared Kashmir Shaivism and neidan but rather methods and practices. Just read a meditation handbook 'Vijnana Braihava Tantra' published in 9th century A.D. and judge yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
