What is the difference between transcendental state of mind and Nirvana? Some yogis of India believe in transcendental state of mind. However I saw no such reference in the teachings of Buddha.
So , what is difference between transcendental state of mind and Nirvana?
(Assuming Nirvana is the Buddhist state of mind)
Nirvana is not a state of mind but is an element the transcendental mind has sense contact with.
As for &quot;transcendental&quot; mind, the Pali is &quot;lokuttara&quot;; which literally means &quot;above/beyond the world&quot;.

Thus you should train yourselves: 'We will listen when discourses that are words of the Tathagata — deep, deep in their meaning, transcendent (lokuttara), connected with emptiness — are being recited. We will lend ear, will set our hearts on knowing them, will regard these teachings as worth grasping &amp; mastering.' That's how you should train yourselves.
