	Upaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upaya is a term in Mahayana Buddhism which is often translated as "means", though literally "expedient" would be more accurate
		One consequence of this is that it is possible to endorse a form of Buddhist practice as viable while simultaneously critiquing its premises or contrasting it unfavorably to another, higher practice.
		In a famous story from the Lotus Sutra, often given as an example of upaya, is that of a man who comes home to find his house on fire and his children inside entertaining themselves with their favorite playthings.

		Schroeder feels that the “most significant feature of upaya is that liberation does not stem from a metaphysical vision of humanity or a ‘mystical’ union with truth” (4-5).
		“Upaya was developed to counter this approach,” Schroeder writes, “and thinkers like Nagarjuna, Lin-chi, and Dogen, and texts such as the Lotus Sutra and Vimalakirtinirdesa use the doctrine of upaya to attack those Buddhists who try to establish fixed metapractical criteria” (Schroeder 150).
		In this regard, the Mahayanists argue from the perspective of upaya, saying that there is no fixed methodology or doctrine to argue about, and that any attempt to institute a monolithic form of praxis not only violates the teachings of the Buddha, but destroys the ability to respond compassionately.

		For example, Mahayana Buddhism proclaims the principle of the unity of Prajna (Wisdom, intuition of the emptiness of existence, sarva sunyata) which is the Female passive principle, and Upaya, Skillfull Means of Compassion -- Karuna (Male active principle).
		Without Upaya, Prajna is passive and its aim is the pure emptiness of the Hinayanistic Nirvana as pure out-of-phenomena-being.
		The synthesis of Prajna and Upaya bears the Bodhi, Enlightment, or more adequately, Awakening which is the state of the Buddha outside of the limits of samsara-nirvana's contradiction.

	Overview of Upaya
		Vedic Astrology includes the concept of upaya, which can be translated as an astrological "remedy," "cure," or "remedial measure." The beauty of upayas is that they offer us a way to work with difficult karma.
		Prayer is the simplest and yet perhaps the most effective upaya there is. To sit quietly in the divine presence, or to pray with words, has been proven time and again to solve the most difficult problems of life.
		This tradition is a long and meaningful one in Jyotish, the remnants of which can still be seen in Western Astrology in the debased concept of "birth stones." In Vedic Astrology, the Jyotishi prescribes a gemstone related to the planet that is causing the difficulty.
