What connections do you see between these Asian spiritual practices and Philip Novak’s concept of the “false self”?

For Buddhism you should cover the practice of śamatha and insight meditation as explained by Dorjee and in class; for Yoga, the practice of yoga as described in the Yoga Sutra (don’t forget the Samkhya explanation of the goal of yoga), and for traditional Chinese culture, the contrasting approaches to the cultivation of wuwei among the Confucians and the Daoists. Since we didn’t have time to get into specific Confucian and Daoist practices in any depth you can rely just on the material in Slingerland for this part of your essay, i.e., summarize and contrast the contrasting theoretical orientations and don’t worry about specific practices.Identify whatever commonalities you find among these four traditions. Looking back over this material, how would you now characterize spiritual practice as a whole, at least as viewed from the perspective of these Asian traditions? What seem to you to be its most essential features? What connections do you see between these Asian spiritual practices and Philip Novak’s concept of the “false self”?
