Description

Abiding in Emptiness: A Guide for Meditative Practice explores the concept of emptiness in daily life and formal meditation, drawing on instructions from the Buddha's Greater and Smaller Discourses on Emptiness. This guide presents translations of relevant textual passages, accompanied by explanations, summaries, and practice instructions.

Based on Pāli discourse passages, this book aims to facilitate an adoption of emptiness practices among contemporary practitioners operating within the framework of Theravāda thought. The author's annotations provide a comparative perspective on quotations from these texts.

The book consists of practice-related explorations of quotations from the Pāli version of the Greater and Smaller Discourses on Emptiness, accompanied by poetic verses that capture key points to be kept in mind during meditation.
