Can hardly contain my excitment when I read about this.

It's THE THING I've been needing and waiting for all along.

A detailed and informative written analysis of and inquiry into the range of interpretations.

I'm so loving this so far.

"This work is an attempt to clar­ify the mean­ing and func­tion of samatha (tran­quil­ity) and vipas­sanā (insight) in Bud­dhist med­i­ta­tion. Much has been writ­ten on this topic, yet a cloud of con­fu­sion per­sists. Even though mod­ern Bud­dhism claims to rest on a foun­da­tion of inquiry, many med­i­ta­tors seem will­ing to invest their spir­i­tual trust in med­i­ta­tion tech­niques with­out care­fully con­sid­er­ing exactly what it is they are practicing.
"

"It is the ded­i­cated thirst for under­stand­ing, not the com­pla­cent acqui­es­cence in an ancient the­ory, which gives rise to true wis­dom. All too often Bud­dhists come out trum­pet­ing their com­mit­ment to free inquiry over tra­di­tion, then con­tent them­selves with cri­tiquing any tra­di­tion but their own."
