	Stages of Buddhist Meditation
		However, Nirodha in the teaching of Dependent Origination (as also in dukkhanirodha, the third of the Four Noble Truths) means the non-arising, or non-existence, of something because the cause of its arising is done away with.
		Where Nirodha should be rendered as cessation is when it is used in reference to the natural way of things, or the nature of compounded things.
		As for Nirodha in the third Noble Truth (or the Dependent Origination cycle in cessation mode), although it also describes a natural process, its emphasis is on practical considerations.

	Patanjali's Yoga Sutras - Pada One
		Translators often confuse the word nirodha as being active as in the act of stilling or even worse as the act of controlling, but rather the word, nirodha, is definitely passive i.e., it is stillness not stilling.
		Nirodha, as cessation is thus passive to an extreme, yet yogic processes (sadhana) themselves are activities (active) as we shall see.
		Commentary: It must be pointed out that the term, nirodha, is passive, thus yoga is not the restraint, suppression, nor control of the mind (as is too often mistranslated), but rather it is the elimination, dissolution, or remediation of the vrtti (which restrains and limits the citta).

		By pativeda (penetrative knowledge) he comprehends that suffering is to be rightly and well-understood; that craving is to be abandoned, eradicated; that nirodha (cessation) is to be realized and that the path is to be developed.
		By abhisamaya (insight) he fully grasps that suffering is to be rightly and well-understood; that craving is to be abandoned, eradicated; that nirodha (cessation) is to be realized and that the path is to be developed.
		When nirodha saccã (otherwise called Nibbãnic peace) is comprehended through actual realization, the task of comprehending the Truth of Suffering is accomplished by recognising that the mundane rupa, nãma and sankhãra which arise and perish incessantly are indeed painful, suffering.

		Especially since many scholars consider the second sutra to be the most important sutra, and the rest of the book is written to deal with that one issue.
		Nirodha comes from the root rudh which means to ‘obstruct”, the prefix “ ni ” literally means lowness or downward motions.
		Nirodha means not just restraint of thoughts but to obstruct thoughts of lower nature.

		Nirodha, restraint, cessation or interception, is essential to sanyama because it is concerned neither with different states nor objects of consciousness, but chiefly with the process of transformation or replacement of the contents of consciousness.
		With persistent effort, the yogin learns to remain in nirodha, relishing the peaceful, smooth flow of cosmic consciousness and reaching the highest samadhi.
		Samadhiparinama, meditative transformation, occurs when nirodha is experienced not simply as a negation of objects of consciousness but rather as a positive meditation on nothingness.

	The Great Discourse on the Wheel of Dhamma - Part 6 / dhamak6.htm
		We shall discuss today Nirodha Sacca, the Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and magga sacca, the Truth of the Path leading to the cessation of suffering as taught in the Dhammacakka Sutta.
		Thus the Buddha taught ' tassayeva tanhaya asesa viraga nirodha ', that eradication, extinction of tanha is the truth of cessation of suffering.
		When nirodha sacca (otherwise called Nibbanic peace) is comprehended through actual realization, the task of comprehending the Truth of Suffering is accomplished by recognising that the mundane rupa, nama and sankhara which arise and perish incessantly are indeed painful, suffering.

	9. Breaking the Cycle
		Nirodha: the cessation mode of the Dependent Origination cycle: cessation of ignorance => cessation of volitional impulses => cessation of consciousness...
		This is why the process of the cessation of suffering, or nirodha, which is included within the Middle Teaching, is simply a description of impersonal phenomena and their interrelated functioning to produce the cessation of suffering.
		Nirodha: ignorance ceases => volitional impulses cease => consciousness ceases => body and mind cease => sense bases cease => contact ceases => feeling ceases => craving ceases => clinging ceases => becoming ceases => birth ceases => aging and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain grief and despair cease => the cessation of suffering

		Nirodha means to withdraw the vibrations (Gati or the propensities of mind) and to direct them to the objectless (Avis'aya), ie to withdraw the mind from the objectivities.
		Thus Yoga is 'Yogashcittavrtti Nirodhah', ie the Nirodha (channelisation) of all the Vrttis (propensities of mind).
		In Yoga one has to do Vrtti nirodha, and for Vrtti nirodha one has to withdraw one's mind from the crude objects and direct it towards Parama'tman, then only suspension of propensities is possible.

	Yoga Sutras: Chapter 3
		Yes, yoga aims at eliminating (nirodha) the agitations and disturbances (vrtti) of the citta, but change or transformation (parinama) from a constricted and obscured state of consciousness to an expanded state of clarity is desirable in yoga.
		After stillness of the mind field (nirodha parinama) is achieved, then room has been made for the more subtle awareness -- the awareness of the source of awareness dawns in samadhi-parinama (integration/union) where one is always aware of the integrative state, although the integration itself may not be complete.
		Samadhi parinama is a transformative tool when learned like nirodha parinama it can be applied to eradicating the arising (kshaya-udayau) of the tendencies of the mind's (cittasya), it's habitual objectification of I-it duality and fixation tendencies (sarva-arthata) which in turn disturb the mind's one pointed intent (ekagratayoh).

		Thus the topics of the Lord and His devotees, which constitute the science of God, should be given respectful aural reception.
		This temporary period of relief is technically called nirodha, or the winding up of the cosmic manifestation.
		All the living entities along with their conditional tendencies (vasanas) merge into the body of Maha-Vishnu to await another creation and another opportunity to take up the science of God.

		Nirodha is the force that continuously purifies citta.
		Nirodha is the only force greater than that of habit--specifically the habits that perpetuate citta in a constricted and clouded state.
		Nirodha is the new program for citta, that prevents the old from operating and reestablishing itself.

		There takes place the nirodha of the prior vrtti-definition of myself as an individual person struggling with the uncertainties presented by a restless mind.
		The subtlety of Sanskrit and the vitality of the truths conveyed through it, combine to propel the model to the very depths of the unconscious, where ultimately the certainty of freedom has to be established.
		Every time the nirodha sanskaara is activated, while at the same time there is a recession in the activation of the old patterning, there occurs a transformation of citta, the individual energy field, what Patanjali calls nirodha-parinaama or nirodha-transformation.

		Nirodha- samapatti means reaching a state of cessation of nama and rupa.
		For nirodha-samapatti the satta concerned has to be an arahat or an anagam (non-returner) and they have to be proficient in all 4 rupa jhanas and all 4 arupa jhanas.
		Nirodha samapatti is the cessation of nama; that simply means no nama.

		Patanjali opens his discourse on Yoga by stating in the Samadhi Pada or the Chapter on Ecstasy that Yoga occurs effortlessly, when the mind has become purified and concentrated.
		The one step method is: Isvara pranidhanad va.1:23 (By giving your life and identity to God- you attain the identity of God).
		Here Patanjali provides the practical means of purifying and concentrating the mind, so that nirodha is possible, for those who cannot surrender everything to the Lord.

		Yoga is the containment [nirodha] of the modifications of the mind.
		The image is of being down behind a sheltering bank of earth or of putting a bank around something so as to both confine and protect it.
		The third, nirodha, is that, for freedom’s sake and peace, when these reactions occur, practice containment.

		Attention, contemplation and meditation are anterior to and not immediately productive of that kind of meditation in which the distinct cognition of the object is lost, which is called meditation without a seed.
		In that state of meditation which has been called Nirodha, the mind has an uniform flow.
		When the mind has overcome and fully controlled its natural inclination to consider diverse objects, and begins to become intent upon a single one, meditation is said to be reached.

	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> The Essence Of Shentong
		Translating akasa as space and the two nirodhas as nonentities is not that good, because space (desa) and time (kala) are among the samskrita-dharmas under the citta-viprayukta-samskaras, while akasa is not a samskara, of course.
		Nonentities is too substantial rendering for the word nirodha - there is nothing substantial in nirodha, just two-fold ceasing of the rise of phenomena - pratisamkhya and apratisamkhya-nirodha.
		These are some of the reasons that made me say that translating akasa as space and the two nirodhas as nonentities is not that good as the translation of samskrita and asamskrita as compounded and uncompounded.

	Mike Baas - Spiritual Experiences
		I have a basic understanding of the concept of yoga being 'yogas chitta vritti nirodha' (the cessation of mental waves) / God-Realization, but I've become unsure that any dedicated hatha practice is going to achieve that goal.
		Applying various meditation methods/breathing techniques to attain 'yogas chitta vritti nirodha' can't actually get you there when your life has yet to be lived in full.
		Yoga practice, be it meditation or hatha yoga, will always end and you will always find yourself walking down the street, going to sleep, looking outside, thinking about something...unless somehow there develops the understanding that in all of these things at all times, 'yoga' can occur.

		In the case of Dukkha Nirodha Ariya Sacca, the Cessation of Dukkha is to be realized through the cessation of a cause.
		Thus, with the cessation of ignorance, volitional activities cease, with the cessation of rebirth (jati), ageing and death cease.
		In the case of Dukkha Nirodha Gamini Patipada Ariya Sacca (Magga Sacca) it is necessary to cultivate the meditation practice, which would lead one to the cessation of Dukkha and liberation from the round of existences.

	Noble Truths
		Because dukkha has a cause then there is also a possibility of an end to the suffering: nirodha.
		Nirodha is translated as meaning 'cessation' or 'extinction'.
		Nirodha should be understood in a different way; instead of cessation of suffering, we should be aware of the craving and 'witness' the craving.

		What remains over is only the stream of love for the Supreme, and this is known by the term 'nirodha'.
		The aim of 'nirodha' in Yogashastra is the control of modifications of the mind, achieved by practice and dispassion.
		For restraint is again a form of fighting, and even a momentary lapse of reason can force us to lose the fight/restraint; on the other hand, there is no fear of falling, as this Love Divine is of the nature of renunciation.

		In spiritual life, in the essence, in the moment, there is nirodha, there is that silence.
