Since roughly the mid-20th century, a loose family of teachers has offered awakening without asking students to adopt any particular cultural frame. The lineage traces through Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj to Western students who later taught — Adyashanti, Rupert Spira, Mooji, and others — and parallel streams from Dzogchen and Zen.
Its method is often called the direct path: begin by investigating who or what is having this experience, and see through the assumption of a separate self. No lifestyle change is required first.
Its risk is what Chögyam Trungpa called spiritual materialism — collecting realizations like trophies while the actual life stays untouched. Its promise is a spirituality responsive to contemporary conditions and free of dogmatic baggage.
