The Spirit of Buddhist Meditation

This is a guide to key Buddhist meditative texts that reveals their historical and practical significance.

Author Sarah Shaw, a seasoned Buddhist practitioner and teacher, explores various ancient and later Buddhist writings on meditation. Many of these texts, unfamiliar in the West, offer valuable insights and humor. She begins with Pali canon texts describing and involving the Buddha and his followers teaching meditations, then moves to commentaries with practical tips, anecdotes, and accounts of early meditators. Shaw considers inspirational texts that spread Buddhist traditions across India, China, Korea, Japan, and Tibet.
