Supramundane powers

I can find references for "siddhis" - but I've never heard of "iddhis". I'm going to find out! Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 14:10, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Iddhi is a Pali term -- ṛddhi is the Sanskrit term. These are the terms originally used in Buddhism for supernormal powers. In the later period of Buddhism, they were called siddhi, probably under the influence of trends in Hinduism. The use of iddhi in Theravada Buddhism is fairly common, whereas Tibetan Buddhists use the word siddhi, and Mahayana Buddhists in the Far East usually translate the term as "spiritual power", "spiritual penetration", or something like that.

Science on the benefits of meditation

Should we add a section on the science on the benefits of meditation?

There are a lot of studies linked in this breezy concise list of 20+ benefits

By changing the section heading to Therapeutic Uses of Meditation, it permits more material to be added on the science regarding meditation. There is some editor, however, who is on a soapbox of promoting secular Buddhism, and keeps undoing any effort to improve the section so more science can be presented. Ironically, the Therapeutic Use section is where most secular Buddhists would find comfort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.111.137 (talk) 04:55, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

What you continue to do using multiple IPs is spam a non-notable self-authored article from an unreliable source under the guise of adding information. It is reference spam so please stop adding it to multiple articles using the exact same text. Dharmalion76 (talk) 08:37, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Walking meditation?

Is walking meditation covered somewhere in this article already? I'm seeking a wikilink to link from the Somatics article. I found this source in case it's helpful: http://www.lionsroar.com/mindful-walking-how-to-do-walking-meditation/. I don't understand Buddhism well enough to add anything to this article; I don't know where it would belong. Hope someone will step in and add this source! And hopefully add a more obvious section about walking meditation. Thanks. --Karinpower (talk) 06:12, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
