Bhikkhu Anālayo presents the Buddha’s practical teaching of the path to nirvana in one comprehensive whole: the wheel of satipaṭṭhāna. He writes for people who practice, and his own shines through like a beacon. This makes it a very exciting guide for practitioners ― the truth of it leaps out at you. Each reader can map out for themselves Bhikkhu Anālayo’s clear mandala that draws together the entire body of satipaṭṭhāna practice. In his simplification the lines of dharma principle are clear, yet none of the richness and potential is lost. Indeed, as you take in what he is saying, more and more significance dawns. - Kamalashila, author of Buddhist Meditation: Tranquillity, Imagination and Insight
