The Seven Contemplations of Insight: Treatise on Insight Meditation - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Matara Sri Nanarama olved out of a series of discourses on the "eighteen Principal insights" that the Venerable Matara Sri Nanarama Mahathera gave in 1981 to the meditating Monks at his monastery, the Nissarana Vanaya Hermitage, in Mitirigala, Sri Lanka. Prepared by a pupil of Ven. Nanarama under his personal guidance, this Book offers the reader an in-depth Study of the first seven insights, which form a distinct and self - sufficient system known as "the seven contemplations" (satta anupassana). At once theoretically rigorous yet pragmatic and precise, the book weaves together extensive Material from the Buddha's discourses and the commentaries with Concrete guidelines to mental training. By giving us a vivid Picture of how these seven contemplations are to be applied in the actual course of Meditation practice, this work serves to fill a major gap in our understanding of Buddhist Insight meditation.
