Endorsements
'With painstaking thoroughness, Ven. Analayo marshals the suttas of the Pali canon, works of modem scholarship, and the teachings of present-day meditation masters to make the rich implications of the Satipatthana Sutta, so concise in the original, clear to contemporary students of the Dharma. The book should prove to be of value both to scholars of Early Buddhism and to serious meditators alike. Ideally, it will encourage in both types of readers the same wholesome synthesis of scholarship and practice that underlies the author's own treatment of his subject.' – Bhikkhu Bodhi, President of the Buddhist Association of the United States
'Ven. Analayo has produced a very thorough and comprehensive study of the Buddha’s discourse on Satipatthana. It is to be recommended not only for the way in which it examines these instructions in meditation in the context of the early discourses and in relation to the traditional interpretations of the Pali commentaries, but also for the way in which it encompasses the observations and interpretations of both modern scholars of Buddhism and teachers of meditation. For anyone interested in the theory and practice of Satipatthana meditation this is a most valuable guide.' – Rupert Gethin, Professor of Buddhist Studies
'I learned a lot from this wonderful book and highly recommend it to both experienced meditators and those just beginning to explore the path.' – Joseph Goldstein, Buddhist writer and co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society
