Yoga and Buddhism share a deep connection, primarily through the practice of meditation (Dhyana/Vipassana). Both traditions aim for liberation from suffering and emphasize self-discipline, awareness, and inner transformation. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (5.1) speaks of meditation (Dhyana) as a means to transcend suffering, a concept that later influenced both Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and Buddhist teachings.
