Description
Buddhist meditator and scholar Bhikkhu Anālayo explores the significance, meaning and development of mindfulness in early Buddhism. This timely examination answers questions about the nature of mindfulness, its benefits, and how it relates to other aspects of the Buddhist path.
Part I examines topics such as mindful eating, ethics and compassion, central aspects of mindfulness practice, and a history of mindfulness, showing how these concepts evolved into modern vipassana and dzogchen traditions. Instructions for meditation practice are provided at the end of each chapter.
In Part II, Anālayo provides annotated translations from the Chinese Agamas and a comparative study of their Pali parallels, offering insight into the development of mindfulness in early Buddhism.
