Makyo is also an India-infused electronica artist, whose hits include Devadesi. There should be a disambig. page about this. --chris 08:04, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What is the etymology of the term "Makyo", and what are the characters for it? This will help users distinguish it more from the Hindu term "Maya". Le Anh-Huy 05:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There also is a French comics artist with the pen name. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 20:21, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This science reference might be helpful[edit]

There's a study at PLOS ONE that goes into Makyo which might be useful for this article: The varieties of contemplative experience: A mixed-methods study of meditation-related challenges in Western Buddhists https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0176239 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0176239 Hope this helps!

Added sections, citations, and quotes[edit]

  • I divided the page into two sections.
    • Makyō is a Japanese word, and it can be found in texts that discuss Zen meditation. See the books mentioned in the section on Makyō in Zen Meditation.
    • While I am sure comparable experiences can occur in many forms of meditation from various traditions, these other traditions may not use the term makyō, which is literally the title of this article. Also, these other traditions may interpret the same experiences differently than makyō is interpreted in Zen. I therefore felt it was important to distinguish the last couple of paragraphs as being comparisons to experiences in other meditative traditions and not directly relevant to the term makyō per se.
  • I added some citations and quotations in the section on Makyō in Zen Meditation.
  • I added three citations for the Tibetian concept of nyam.
  • I wonder if the section on Comparisons to Other Traditions counts as original research? Where, other than this Wikipedia article, is Makyō compared to the phenomena mentioned in the section Comparisons to Other Traditions? Maybe people have made such comparisons. If so, these comparisons should me incorporated into this Wikipedia page with references. If not, then perhaps the second section should be removed from this Wikipedia page and the page deal only with the Zen literature in which references to makyō are found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.107.131.172 (talk) 04:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
