Yoga and Buddhism
by David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri)
Yoga and Buddhism are sister traditions which evolved in the same spiritual culture of ancient India. They use many of the same terms and follow many of the same principles and practices. For this reason it is not surprising that many of us born in the West, particularly after an initial exposure, are apt to regard Yoga and Buddhism as more or less the same. The differences that have existed between the two systems historically are less obvious to us than their commonalities. Those who study Buddhism may find so much similarity in Yoga that they will see a strong Buddhist influence on Yoga. Those who study Yoga may find so much similarity in Buddhism that they will see a strong yogic influence on Buddhism

It's like saying Christianity and Islam are the same because they believe in the same loving and generous and peaceful God.

oh man, poor krishta. she took the knocked-up girl to a "family planning counseling" session and it turned out to be a total ruse. it turned out to be a billy graham thing, they locked them into a room and an old lady told the girl over and over how she'd sinned and how jesus died for her sins and how her jewish boyfriend is going to hell and everything.

Blah blah blah:
In an article entitled “Yoga and Buddhism,” published on the Web site of Hinduism Today, David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri) speaks of Yoga and Buddhism as sister traditions. It would perhaps be more appropriate to characterize Hinduism as a sister tradition to Buddhism and Jainism. However, these three are not merely particular spiritual traditions spawned on Indian soil but whole cultures with their own distinct moral and spiritual teachings, art, architecture, and social organization. There are many overlaps but also significant divergencies. For instance, in the area of social organization, Buddhism does not subscribe to the caste system, which is a hall mark of Hinduism (though by no means all Hindu traditions accept or support it).

Yoga is commonly understood to be an aspect of Hinduism. However, both the term and the concept (in the sense of spiritual practice) are also widespread in Buddhism. Thus it makes little sense to compare Yoga and Buddhism, unless we define Yoga more narrowly as the particular philosophical system known as yoga-darshana, as expounded in Patanjali’s Yoga-Sûtra and its extensive commentarial literature.
