An initiation ceremony is required of all novice meditators.一个启动仪式，是需要所有新手打坐。 TM instructors contend that this is merely a secular ceremony of gratitude. ？导师争辩说，这只不过是一个世俗仪式的感激之情。 The religious nature of this ceremony (called the puja), however, is quite clear.该宗教的本质这个仪式（称为puja ） ，但是，很清楚。 The participant is asked to bring flowers, fruit, and a white cloth and to bow before the image of Maharishi's late teacher, Guru Dev.参加者需携带鲜花，水果和一块白色布料，并低头的形象maharishi的已故老师，宗师开发。 The puja is a Sanskrit hymn of adoration and worship, although its meaning is not revealed to the novice.该puja是梵语圣歌的崇拜和信仰，尽管它的含义是不泄露给新手。 The initiation ceremony, therefore, is by Christian definition the worship of false gods.启动仪式上，因此，这是由基督教定义崇拜假神。 From the perspective of TM, the puja is intended to alter the consciousness of both instructor and novice so that the mind is opened to the influence of the "great masters."从这个角度来看的TM ， puja是为了改变意识，既导师及新手，让心是开放给影响力的"大师" 。

At the time of initiation, the candidate is given a supposedly secret mantra, a Sanskrit word or syllable, which is claimed to have special vibrational qualities and which is regularly used by the meditator thereafter.在当时的启动期，该候选人是一个理应秘密真言，梵语单词或音节，这是自称有特殊的振动素质，这是经常使用的是由meditator 。 TM instructors state that the matras are merely "meaningless sounds."技术备忘录教官说matras只不过是"毫无意义的声音" 。 However, an examination of the source of the mantras, the Hindu religion, reveals that these sounds are the code names of deities.不过，考试的源头的mantras ，印度教宗教，揭示了这些听起来都是以代号称呼的神灵。 Therefore, the repetition of a mantra constitutes an act of worship.因此，重复的口头禅构成行为的崇拜。

The use of a mantra is one of the standard means of inducing the classical mystical experience of God - consciousness or unity.利用一个口头禅是一种标准的手段诱使他人古典神秘经验的上帝-意识或团结。 The twice - daily routine of TM is said to enable the person to achieve an altered or "transcendental" state of consciousness with the goal of ultimately reaching "enlightenment."两次-每日例行的T M是说，让某人来实现，变造或"先验"的意识状态与目标，最终达到"开天目" 。 Its objective is the elimination of all consciously directed thought, an emptying of the mind.它的目标是消除一切，自觉地针对思想，是一个排空的头脑。 Like all Eastern mysticism, TM involves the negation of the mind and an increased reliance on subjective feelings.象所有东方神秘主义，铥涉及否定的态度，并增加了依赖于主观的感受。

Transcendental Meditation is in reality a form of pantheism.超脱静坐是在现实中的一种形式泛神论。 It does not teach the existence of one eternal, personal God, the Creator of the universe.它不教存在的一个永恒的，个人的神，宇宙的创造者。 It is part of the monist tradition in that it teaches belief in the essential oneness of all reality and therefore the possibility of man's unity with the divine.这是部分的monist传统，在这方面它教导信仰的本质同一性的一切现实，因此有可能以人的团结与神圣。 The practice of TM itself leads the meditator toward the idolatry of selfworship because of the identification of the self with the higher "Self" of the creation.实践中的TM本身领导meditator对偶像崇拜的selfworship由于鉴定自我与较高的"自我"的创作风格。 In short, TM promotes an experience involving the loss of one's distinctive identity under the false pretense of a scientific technique.总之，铥推广的经验，涉及的损失，一个人的独特的特性下，以错误的借口进入一个科学技术。
