20.500.12556/RUL-175277 Meditacija v indijskih religijah in njen vpliv na zahodno kulturo diplomsko delo Meditation in Indian religions and its impact on western culture Meditacija kot ena najstarejših duhovnih praks ima svoje korenine v indijskih religijah, zlasti v hinduizmu, budizmu in džainizmu ter tudi krščanskem duhovnem izročilu. V indijskih tradicijah se pojavlja kot osrednje sredstvo za duhovno preobrazbo, spoznanje resničnosti in osvoboditev iz cikla trpljenja. V prvi polovici diplomskega dela so predstavljene temeljne razlike in podobnosti med omenjenimi pristopi: v hinduizmu dhyana kot del joga poti, v budizmu praksi samatha in vipassana ter v džainizmu meditacija kot del strogih asketskih prizadevanj. Predstavili smo tudi zgodovino in nekatere vidike krščanske meditacije. V drugi polovici se delo osredotoča na prenos teh praks na zahod, ki se je začel v 19. st., razmahnil pa v 20. st. Meditacija je s tem vstopila v nove kontekste – psihoterapijo, izobraževanje, podjetništvo in umetnost – ter se deloma sekularizirala. Ob tem so se pojavila tudi vprašanja avtentičnosti, kulturnega prisvajanja in etičnih izzivov. Predzadnje podpoglavje je namenjeno krščanskemu odzivu, ki vključuje prenovljeno zanimanje za lastno kontemplativno izročilo ter razvijanje praks, kot sta osredinjena molitev in krščanska meditacija. Delo se zaključi z mislijo, da lahko meditacija deluje povezovalno in prispeva k reševanju sodobnih bivanjskih izzivov. Meditation, as one of the oldest spiritual practices, has its roots in Indian religions, especially Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, as well as in the Christian spiritual tradition. In Indian traditions, it appears as a central means for spiritual transformation, the realization of reality, and liberation from the cycle of suffering. The first half of this thesis presents the fundamental differences and similarities between the mentioned approaches: dhyana as part of the yoga path in Hinduism, the samatha and vipassana practices in Buddhism, and meditation as part of the strict ascetic efforts in Jainism. We also presented the history and some aspects of Christian meditation. The second half focuses on the transfer of these practices to the West, which began in the 19th century and expanded in the 20th century. Meditation thereby entered new contexts—psychotherapy, education, entrepreneurship, and art—and was partially secularized. Questions of authenticity, cultural appropriation, and ethical challenges also arose during this time. The penultimate subchapter is dedicated to the Christian response, which includes a renewed interest in its own contemplative tradition and the development of practices such as centering prayer and Christian meditation. The work concludes with the idea that meditation can act as a unifying force and contribute to solving contemporary existential challenges. meditacija hinduizem budizem džainizem krščanstvo vipassana čuječnost sekularizacija meditation Hinduism Buddhism Jainism Christianity vipassana mindfulness secularization true false false [D.
