BUDDHIST MEDITATION

Meditative practice lies at the heart of the Buddhist tradition. This introductory

anthology gives a representative sample of the various kinds of meditations

described in the earliest body of Buddhist scripture, the Pali canon. It provides a

broad introduction to their traditional context and practice and supplies explanation,

context and doctrinal background to the subject of meditation. The main themes

of the book are the diversity and flexibility of the way that the Buddha teaches

meditation from the evidence of the canon. Covering fundamental features of

Buddhist practice such as posture, lay meditation and meditative technique it

provides comments both from the principal early commentators on Buddhist

practice, Upatissa and Buddhaghosa, as well as from reputable modern meditation

teachers in a number of Theravadin traditions. This is the first general book on

Pali Buddhism which introduces the reader to the wide range of meditative advice

in the canon. It demonstrates that the Buddha’s meditative tradition still offers a

path of practice as mysterious, awe-inspiring yet as freshly accessible as it was

centuries ago and should be of interest to students and scholars of Buddhism as

well as Buddhist practitioners.

Sarah Shaw read Greek and English at Manchester University, where she took a

doctorate in English. She studied Pali at Oxford and is on the steering committee

of the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies. She is a mother, teacher and writer.

She practises with the Samatha Association of Britain.

General Editors: Charles S. Prebish and

Damien Keown

Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism is a comprehensive study of the Buddhist

tradition. The series explores this complex and extensive tradition from a variety

of perspectives, using a range of different methodologies.

The series is diverse in its focus, including historical studies, textual translations

and commentaries, sociological investigations, bibliographic studies, and consid-

erations of religious practice as an expression of Buddhism’s integral religiosity.

It also presents materials on modern intellectual historical studies, including the

role of Buddhist thought and scholarship in a contemporary, critical context and

in the light of current social issues. The series is expansive and imaginative in

scope, spanning more than two and a half millennia of Buddhist history. It is

receptive to all research works that inform and advance our knowledge and

understanding of the Buddhist tradition.
