An in-depth textual study of the Satipatthana Sutta, the foundational Buddhist discourse on meditation practice.
"With painstaking thoroughness, Ven. Analayo marshalls the suttas of the Pali canon, works of modern scholarship, and the teachings of present day meditation masters to make the rich implications of this text, so concise in the original, clear to contemporary students of the Dharma. His aim is to explore the sutta as a wide-ranging and multi-faceted source of guidance which allows for alternative interpretations and approaches to practice. His analysis combines the detailed objectivity of the academic scholar with the engaged concern of the practitioner for whom meditation is a way of life rather than just a subject of study. The book should prove to be of value both to scholars of early Buddhism and to serious meditators alike. Ideally, it will encourage in both types of reader the same wholesome synthesis of scholarship and practice that underlies the author's own treatment of his subject."
— Bhikkhu Bodhi.
"An indispensible guide...surely destined to become the classic commentary on the Satipatthana."
— Christopher Titmuss.
