      Radical differences in goals and functions among Buddhist meditation approaches are increasingly obscured. 🧵 @misen__ & @_awbery_ discuss:https://twitter.com/misen__/status/1104843189419159557 …

      Replying to @misen__ @_awbery_
      The qualitative differences across methodologies is also a really good point. Even where the phenomenology of a state/stage/insight sounds very close across traditions, the value & interpretations relating to that can be really different, and a source of much confusion.

      ☸︎ I would diagnose this homogenization as a consequence of “Buddhism in the atomized mode” (since early 2000s)—whereas its subcultural mode emphasized differences.https://meaningness.com/modes-chart#Buddhism …

          ☸︎ David L. McMahan, in his revelatory _Making of Buddhist Modernism_, described it as “global folk Buddhism.” The de facto meditation system of global folk Buddhism is the Mahasi method (with local variations). It’s become market-dominant, nearly synonymous with “meditation.”

          It’s also maybe something to do with the nature of Sutra, where most meditations originate. Sutra is more universalist, particularly in outcome, than other traditional paths; that feature continues into contemporary atomisations. Universalist ways tend towards cultural monopoly.
