One of the best,
By Docta Puella (Southwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization (Paperback)
There are several good books on the Buddha's teachings known as The Four Foundations of Mindfulness but Analayo's recent work is among the most thoroughly rendered. Perhaps because it was written for his PhD thesis, his philological exegesis and his notes are meticulous. And because he is both a scholar of Buddhism and a practicing Buddhist monk in the long tradition of panditas, his translation and commentary are lively and applicable.I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization (Paperback)
The venerable Analayo does an expert job in combining a scholarly exposition on this Sutta while keeping it from being dry. As a lay person I found this book to be hugely informative and helpful to my practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars
wise scholar,
This review is from: Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization (Paperback)
Possibly the best book on meditation and reflection that I have come across. I used it as my main book on a 4 week solitary- very impressed. Very thorough and very inspired and practical. I got the impression of a scholar who believes in the possibility of Complete Enlightenment.
