Article: In the light of Mother F. A.

A great number of the entries were dedicated to describing the sciences and crafts in detail, and provided intellectuals across Europe with a high-quality survey of human knowledge. In d'Alembert's Preliminary Discourse to the Encyclopedia of Diderot, the work's goal to record the extent of human knowledge in the arts and sciences is outlined:

Question: In what work is the goal to record the extent of human knowledge in the arts and sciences outlined?

Article: Meditation was an aspect of the practice of the yogis in the centuries preceding the Buddha. The Buddha built upon the yogis' concern with introspection and developed their meditative techniques, but rejected their theories of liberation.

A yogi in the Brahmanical tradition is not to practice while defecating, for example, while a Buddhist monastic should do so.
