| Mar 5, 2016 at 19:03 | comment | added | ChrisW♦ | The core difference, according to the paragraphs you quoted, seems to be, "the moral aspect of mindfulness" and "spontaneous right action". Perhaps that's "Eastern" but not exactly or not necessarily "Buddhist" -- e.g. the associated note 12 in the book references something titled "Unified Field Based Ethics: Vedic Psychology's Description of the Highest Stage of Moral Reasoning" ... I think that "Vedic Psychology" is more likely Hindu and not Buddhist. | |
