Description
Bhikkhu Analayo offers a fresh perspective on the earliest sources of mindfulness in Buddhism. His study of the Satipatthana Sutta provides insight into the Buddhist path, while comparing it with versions that have survived in Chinese and Tibetan translations sheds new light on the practice. By exploring the presentation of mindfulness in various discourses, Analayo enlarges our understanding of this central teaching. This book builds on his earlier work, providing an invaluable guide to the liberating practices of the Buddha's teaching. Through his outstanding scholarship and depth of understanding as a practitioner, Analayo brings us closer to the mindfulness teachings of the Buddha himself. Informed by his extensive research and meditative experience, Analayo offers a wide-ranging exploration of what mindfulness meant in early Buddhism. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Buddhist practice and the practices of mindfulness.
