The reason is not only that it occupies the most pages but rather that it is written in a very dry style and makes use of very sophisticated (intellectual and grammatical) constructions.

This is a classic text on the essence of Buddhist meditation. It is an excellent, in-depth description of mindfulness practice and its benefits. It includes a concise explanation of clear comprehension, which is the kind of mindfulness you use in the course of your daily life. It also presents an easily understandable explanation of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. This new edition includes an introduction from noted author and teacher Sylvia Boorstein. Although the Buddha lived over 2500 years ago, his teachings on meditation are among the most effective methods for healing the pain of grief, finding inner peace, and overcoming the sense of dislocation caused by living in the 21st century. Mindfulness is a method not only for committed Buddhists. It is for everyone interested in mastering the mind. "It's wonderful to see this new edition of an invaluable, classic meditation guide. Nyanaponika Thera's The Heart of Buddhist Meditation is sure to benefit many." --Sharon Salzberg, Co-Founder of The Insight Meditation Society No library descriptions found. |

This book consists of three parts. The middle part of this book contains a translation of the Satipatthana-sutta (30 pages) which claims to describe (p. 117) "the sole way [...] for the realization of Nibbana." The first part is an interpretation (by Nyanaponika Thera, henceforth called author) of this sutta together with a rudimentary introduction into a dedicated meditation practice (110 pages). The third part (60 pages) contains excerpts from the Pali-Canon and other sources that shall emphasize the importance of the sutta.
