Excerpt from The Yoga Philosophy: Being the Text of Patanjali, With Bhoja Raja's Commentary; With Their Translation in English by Dr. Ballantyne and Govind Shastri Deva, an Introduction by Col. Olcott and an Appendix Buddha and his followers have inculcated ideas and views similar to those of the Raja Yogi or the Vedantin. They say, that the destruction of Skandhas and desires are the ways to Nirvan or Moksha. To destroy these is to subdue the mind and its desires by following the eight-fold path that has been prescribed by Buddha and not by undergoing physical mortifi cations to cultivate the Will, which is the principal factor in all the practices of the Hatha Yogins. The Noble Eight fold path is - 1 Right belief: free from superstition or delu sion; 2 Right thought: high and worthy of the intelligent and earnest man; 3 Right speech: Kindly, open, and truthful; 4! Right conduct: peaceful, honest, and pure; 5 Right means of livelihood: bringing hurt or danger to no living thing; 6 Right endeavours: in self-training, and self-control; 7 Right mindful ness: active and watchful mind; 8 Right meditation: earnest thought on the deep mysteries of life. By following these with strict attention and without a moment's loss of time, the fol lowers of Buddha have secured to themselves the highest Nirvan.
