Описание: This book revisits the early systemic formation of meditation practices called ‘yoga’ in South Asia by employing metaphor theory. Karen O’Brien-Kop also develops an alternative way of analysing the reception history of yoga that aims to decentre the Eurocentric and imperialist enterprises of the nineteenth-century to reframe the cultural period of the 1st – 5th centuries CE using categorical markers from South Asian intellectual history.
Buddhist traditions were just as concerned as Hindu traditions with meditative disciplines of yoga. By exploring the intertextuality of the Patanjalayogasastra with texts such as Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakosabhasya and Asanga’s Yogacarabhumisastra, this book highlights and clarifies many ideologically Buddhist concepts and practices in Patanjala yoga.
Karen O’Brien-Kop demonstrates that ‘classical yoga’ was co-constructed systemically by both Hindu and Buddhist thinkers who were drawing on the same conceptual metaphors of the period. This analysis demystifies early yoga-meditation as a timeless ‘classical’ practice and locates it in a specific material context of agrarian and urban economies.

Описание: Although many see the four noble truths as the kernel of the historical Buddha`s teachings, early texts reveal they are a later development. Shulman illustrates that these truths originated as observations to be cultivated during meditation, challenging the conventional view that the Buddha`s teachings represent universal themes of human existence.

Описание:
This book offers a new interpretation of the relationship between 'insight practice' (satipatthana) and the attainment of the four jh nas (i.e., right sam dhi), a key problem in the study of Buddhist meditation. The author challenges the traditional Buddhist understanding of the four jh nas as states of absorption, and shows how these states are the actualization and embodiment of insight (vipassan ). It proposes that the four jh nas and what we call 'vipassan 'are integral dimensions of a single process that leads to awakening.
Current literature on the phenomenology of the four jh nas and their relationship with the 'practice of insight' has mostly repeated traditional Therav da interpretations. No one to date has offered a comprehensive analysis of the fourfold jh na model independently from traditional interpretations. This book offers such an analysis. It presents a model which speaks in the Nik yas' distinct voice. It demonstrates that the distinction between the 'practice of serenity' (samatha-bh van ) and the 'practice of insight' (vipassan -bh van ) - a fundamental distinction in Buddhist meditation theory - is not applicable to early Buddhist understanding of the meditative path. It seeks to show that the common interpretation of the jh nas as 'altered states of consciousness', absorptions that do not reveal anything about the nature of phenomena, is incompatible with the teachings of the P li Nik yas.
By carefully analyzing the descriptions of the four jh nas in the early Buddhist texts in P li, their contexts, associations and meanings within the conceptual framework of early Buddhism, the relationship between this central element in the Buddhist path and 'insight meditation' becomes revealed in all its power.
Early Buddhist Meditation will be of interest to scholars of Buddhist studies, Asian philosophies and religions, as well as Buddhist practitioners with a serious interest in the process of insight meditation.

Описание: This volume explores the interrelations between Buddhist traditions and the scientific study of meditation. Essays consider the nature of modern meditation, its secularization, the values and goods implicit in practice, and the sorts of subjects that take shape under the influence of meditation framed within scientific discourse.
Описание: Presents a study of the content and historical formation, as well as complete English translations, of two of the most influential manuals in which approaches to Buddhist meditation are discussed: the Scripture on the Secret Essential Methods of Chan (Chan Essentials) and the Secret Methods for Curing Chan Sickness (Methods for Curing).

Eric Greene focuses on how medieval Chinese Buddhists interpreted their own and others` visionary experiences and the nature of the authority they ascribed to them.
