ASTANGA YOGA
The ultimate aim of Astanga yoga is
to join and attain oneness with Sublime Essence of the Universe. This is done through a process of sequential internal
purification of your body, mind, and spirit. This process harnesses the positive vital breath, energy
or prana within you and lets you control and balances your body, mind and spirit. You experience harmony in
life when you live in the here and now. You do not have false expectations for the future and you
do not linger in the past. You truly accept yourself and you accept and love all people. No
more fear; No more me and you, us and them; only Love, Equanimity, Compassion and Bliss!
Ashanga yoga is the classical eight-fold path of yogi codified by the Sage Patanjali
in his Yoga Sutras. The eight limbs (or steps) of ashtanga yoga are:
yama
(vows),
niyama (observances),
asana (postures) i.e.
physical exercises designed to restore the natural balance of the body,
pranayam
(breathing exercises),
pratyahar (withdrawal from the sense),
dharana (concentration),
dhyana (meditation), and
samadhi (complete absorption in the Self).

The time following Buddha Sakyamuni's demise has been divided into three periods: i) the Perfect Age of the Dharma,
lasting 500 years, when the Buddha's teaching was correctly practice and Enlightenment often attained; ii) the Dharma Semblance
Age, lasting about 1,000 years, when a form of the teaching was practiced but Enlightenment seldom attained; iii) the Dharma-Ending
Age, lasting some ‘ten thousand' years, when a diluted form of the teaching exists and Enlightenment rarely attained.
(Thành & Leigh 2001: 58)
Ven. Meng Ts'an, one of the patriarchal dignitaries of Da Huayen Monastery,
has indicated at least three signs of the Dharma-Ending Age in our time:
1. The first sure sign of our Dharma-Ending
Age is that the role of the teacher and pupil is reversed in the teaching of the Dharma. "Lay people are teaching the
Dharma and Sangha are the pupils, often not respected by their teachers, who think they are not knowledgeable." (Meng
Ts'an 1998) In many universities and colleges throughout the world, Buddhism has now become an increasingly
popular subject taught by people who may not even believe or practice what they profess. It has become just another subject
among the myriads of subjects in the humanities department. When Buddhism is being imparted as academic knowledge and not
as a way of life to attain Enlightenment, students may pass the course but will never attain Enlightenment.
2.
The second sure sign of this Dharma-Ending Age is that non-Buddhist con artists crowning themselves as true Buddhas mushrooming
everywhere and the masses listen to and believe their false claims, pouring billions of dollars into these scamming schemes,
whereas on the other hand, when Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis speak the truth, the masses pay little attention or support them (Meng
Ts'an 1998).
3. The third sure sign of this Dharma-Ending Age is that "in the People's Republic of China,
some Bhikkhus have given up celibacy. Upon their deaths, their sons and grandsons fight for the inheritance of the temples
property and go to court (Meng Ts'an 1998)." When Buddha Sakyamuni established the Sangha community, he also established
a set of rules or precepts regulating the operation of the Sangha community, including the sharing of communal property. Accordingly,
no communal property shall be owned by anyone because all Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis, like the Buddha, have renounced their worldly
lives. This practice of keeping wives and raising children directly breach the Bhikkhu's precepts.
