In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions础惫补蝉迟丑腻辫补苍补 (啶呧さ啶膏啶ムぞ啶え) refers to 鈥渞emaining (in a state of awareness)鈥� [?], according to the 莫艣varapratyabhij帽膩vimar艣in墨 (KSTS vol. 65, 331).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭he state of 迟耻谤测腻迟墨迟补 taught [above] with reference to that [blossoming of insight] is simply the [further] extension of the realization of the state called turya. But that state of 迟耻谤测腻迟墨迟补 was taught there as a state of awareness in which Void etc. remain (补惫补蝉迟丑腻辫补苍补鈥�tu 艣奴ny膩di ava蝉迟丑腻pane bodhasya) [as objective knowables], but is separated [from them]. This is the state referred to as 鈥榯he pure Self,鈥� 鈥榯he Formless,鈥� and 鈥榩ure Consciousness鈥� in the Saiddh膩ntika scriptures. It is taught with reference to those who know the Deity solely as [being] all-transcendent; so [Utpaladeva] indicates [in his Viv峁泃i]鈥�.
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: WikiPedia: Mahayana Buddhism础惫补蝉迟丑腻辫补苍补 (啶呧さ啶膏啶ムぞ啶え) or 鈥渞epeated placement鈥� refers to one of the 鈥渘ine mental abidings鈥� (i.e., 鈥榥ine stages of training the mind鈥�) connected with 艣补尘补迟丑补 (鈥渁ccess concentration鈥�), according to Kamala艣墨la and the 艢r膩vakabh奴mi section of the Yog膩c膩rabh奴mi-艣膩stra.鈥敶”共共醭俪竽灞璨共圆� (Tibetan: 嘟栢境嘟撪紜嘟忇胶嗉嬥綘嘟囙郊嘟傕紜嘟�, slan-te 鈥檍og-pa) or 鈥渞epeated placement鈥� is when the practitioner's attention is fixed on the object for most of the practice session and she or he is able to immediately realize when she or he has lost their mental hold on the object and is able to restore that attention quickly. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche suggests that being able to maintain attention for 108 breaths is a good benchmark for when we have reached this stage.
