Announcement INNER CALM A User’s Guide to Tranquility Meditation
Venerable Mahathera Madawela Punnaji
Book Description:
This book explains the “why” and “how” of Satipaṭṭhāna meditation within the framework of the
Eightfold Way for anyone seeking stepwise instructions to begin the practice of Satipaṭṭhāna.
Teachings and practices unique to this book:
- The two essential yet often overlooked techniques – sanvara and pahāna – to purify
the mind before beginning satipaṭṭhāna meditation. - Satipaṭṭhāna is introspection and not mindfulness. It is the result of introversion of attention (sammā sati) followed by constant observation (sampajañña) of the inner unconscious reactions to external events, memories, and imaginations.
- Breathing meditation (Ānāpānasati) is an exercise in relaxation rather than concentration, and the risk of a hypnotic state by concentrating rather than relaxing the body and calming the mind.
- Experience deep states of tranquility to prepare for Insight Meditation (Vipassanā Bhāvanā).
- Daily Q & A sessions and an exclusive 30- year collection of Qs & As with the author.
