Meditation teachers have contributed to the self-help section an abundance of guides to Buddhism and meditation, many of them elegantly worded and sometimes simple and practical. Yet many of these works also stumble unwittingly into philosophical problems discussed with great care and complexity in footnoted academic volumes rea…Read more

She finds in this textual tradition a sophisticated…Read more

In this chapter, we explore how these two different projects might prove mutually beneficial. We lay the groundwork for a cross-cultural co…Read more
