Reviews for Perspectives on Satipatthana

In this new book, Analayo builds on his earlier ground-breaking work, Satipaṭṭhana: The Direct Path to Realization. Here, he enlarges our perspective on this seminal teaching by exploring the practices of mindfulness as presented in both the Pali and Chinese versions of this important discourse. The brilliance of his scholarly research, combined with the depth of his meditative understanding, provides an invaluable guide to the liberating practices of the Buddha's teaching. Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening and One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism Analayo's work is a brilliant treasury of impeccable scholarship and practice, offering a wise, open-minded and deep understanding of the Buddha's original teachings. His approach makes an inspiring contribution to the modern Dharma world. Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart, founding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center Analayo has offered us a work of great scholarship and wisdom that will be of immense benefit to anyone who wants to seriously study or to establish a practice of mindfulness. Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness, co-founder, Insight Meditation Society, Barre, MA
