An Analytical Study of the Modern Non-Duality Concept of Modern Spirituality. Teachings of Early Buddhist Discourses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783668992061)

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2019 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 4, language: English, abstract: This work aims to compare and contrast modern non-duality with early Buddhist discourses with a view to finding a bridging theory between them. While the Modern Non-duality brings out more pointers than Advaita, it is necessary to go in-depth in analyzing these pointers to grasp various interpretations. Analysis of such interpretations will also enable the researcher to see supportive and or detrimental cross versions, if any. The study envisages to gauge why non-duality pointers seem to be attracting the modern-day societies that seek freeing themselves from the bondage of stories they are engrossed. The relevance of these pointers would be looked into in an analytical way to present the findings for the purpose of identifying the attractiveness which seems to be cutting across the world. The core messages through pointers of current non-duality teachers would be compiled from existing print and online material that would pin point the standing of each non- dual teacher in terms of the various emphasis made by them through their discourses. It is therefore a considered view that a study of modern non- duality in the light of basic and core messages offered by early Buddhist discourses will lead to critical analysis which is likely to bring out a new knowledge that may also be presented to scientists especially the neurosciencee that had shown interest in the area of consciousness.
