EEG evidence for reproducible neural states during Buddhist Highest Yoga Tantra meditation
Scientific Reports July 29, 2026 Ekaterina Mikhaylets, Alexandra Razorenova, Е.к. Карелина et al.
Meditation offers a naturalistic paradigm for studying introspection, yet the neural dynamics of advanced tantric practices remain largely unexplored. Buddhist Highest Yoga Tantra (BHYT) comprises a sequence of eight dissolution stages culminating in the “clear light” state. We recorded EEG during eyes-closed BHYT meditation performed in monasteries and hermitages (51 sessions from 36 male...
Filling in the Blanks: The Material Semiotics of Visual Meditation in the Buddhist Qizil Yoga Manual
Religions July 28, 2026 Karen O’Brien-Kop
This paper analyses the ‘grammar’, or rules, of meditation practice in the c. 5th-century Qizil Yoga Manual (QYM). The QYM was found in Kucha, a significant location in the Silk Road trade network. Meditation in this text means visual recollection, and the practices are largely structured around Buddhist Sarvāstivāda sequences with some hints of Mahāyāna or Tantric themes). As with certain...

Friends, Fools, and Foes: Restorative Buddhist Paradox and Transformation
Infusing Healing Energy into Education July 20, 2026 Jin Jr
Abstract: The intersection of mindfulness and mindlessness behooves the educational paradigm. With the development of artificial intelligence in education, intrapersonal and interpersonal engagements have a unique positioning that dehumanizes and technicalizes the curriculum milieu. Building on William Pinar’s currere, the paper engages Buddhist friends, fools, and foes in curriculum theorizing...
Healing and Subtle Energies: Vajrayana Buddhist Approaches for Rethinking Education
Infusing Healing Energy into Education July 20, 2026 Ajita Raghavendra, Bernadette M. Baker
Abstract This chapter examines archives within Buddhist philosophy as a thought experiment toward rethinking what counts as education. Specifically, it revisits archives within Vajrayana Buddhism (11th century onwards), for “holistic” practices that target problems posed by conceptions of self and allied suffering. In Vajrayana Buddhism, education for the alleviation of suffering is tied to the...
Effects of a Dialectical Behavior Therapy Zen Retreat on Affect and Well-Being in Healthcare Workers
Mindfulness July 14, 2026 Karina Solovieff, Miguel Angel Murua, María Arqueros et al.
Mental health professionals are at elevated risk for psychological distress and reduced well-being, yet the effects of intensive Zen retreats in this population remain understudied. This study tested whether a 5-day silent, residential Zen-style mindfulness retreat yielded greater improvement than a time- and content-matched Dharma-talk comparator in distress, well-being, self-compassion, and...

A Conceptual Framework for Artificial Intelligence Combining Buddhism and the Free Energy Principle
Digital Humanities Social Science and Cultural Preservation July 11, 2026 Yasunari Miyagi, Yoko Tateishi, Moe Yorozu et al.
Remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have been made in recent years. There is a theory that brain activity in humans is based on the free energy principle, which is a comprehensive theory that attempts to explain the structure and function of cognition and the brain’s behavior. For any self-organized system to be in equilibrium within its environment, the agent performs...
