the Actualization of Insight (ISSN)
Sinopsis
This book offers a new interpretation of the
relationship between 'insight practice' (satipatth
ana) and the attainment of the four
jh224nas(i.e., right sam224dhi, a key
problem in the study of Buddhist meditation. The
author challenges the traditional Buddhist
understanding of the four jh224nasas states
of absorption, and shows how these states are
the actualization and embodiment of insight
(vipassan224. It proposes that the four
jh224nasand what we call 'vipassan224are
integral dimensions of a single process
that leads to awakening.Current literature on
the phenomenology of the four jh224nasand
their relationship with the 'practice of
insight' has mostly repeated traditional
Therav224dainterpretations. No one to date
has offered a comprehensive analysis of the
fourfold jh224namodel independently from
traditional interpretations. This book
offers such an analysis. It presents a model
which speaks in the Nik224yas distinct voice.
It demonstrates that the distinction between the
'practice of serenity' (samatha bh224van224)
and the 'practice of insight' (vipassan224bh2
24van224) 8211 a fundamental distinction in
Buddhist meditation theory 8211 is not
applicable to early Buddhist understanding of
the meditative path. It seeks to show that the
common interpretation of the jh224nasas
'altered states of consciousness', absorptions
that do not reveal anything about the nature of
phenomena, is incompatible with the teachings of
the P224IiNik224yasBy carefully analyzing
the descriptions of the four jh224nasin the
4
early Buddhist texts in conceptual framework the
Buddhist path and
P2241i their contexts, associations and
meanings within the of early Buddhism, the
relationship between this central element
in '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.
