"A form of meditation developed in ancient India aimed at liberating one from the physical limitations of the body, or more broadly, from sufferings, by achieving concentration of mind and fusing with the truth. There are several schools of yoga which employ a variety of disciplines, including breath control, special postures, among others. Today some of the physical yogic disciplines are widely practiced for health and tranquillity of mind, without any particular religious motivation."
In contrast to yoga, Buddhist meditation (in Zen, Pure Land, etc.), in its ideal form, centers on the full development of the Bodhi Mind, the aspiration to achieve Enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. For details, see Hinduism/Buddhism.
