Synopsis:
New edition of Living Buddhist Masters. Inspirational discourses given by such accomplished meditation masters as Ajahn Chah, Mahasi Sayadaw, U Ba Khin and Ajahn Maha Boowa, interwoven with commentary by American insight meditation teacher, Jack Kornfield.
The book also includes details of meditation in the Theravada tradition, especially in Burma, Thailand, and Laos; plus the masters Mahasi Sayadaw, Sunlun Sayadaw, Buddhadasa, Ajahn Naeb, Taungpulu Sayadaw, Monhyin Sayadaw, Mogok Sayadaw, Ajahn Dhammadaro, and Ajahn Jumnien.
Despite the fact that most of the masters described in this book have passed away in the three decades between the first publication of this book in 1977 and this 2007 reprint, it remains a valuable source of inspiration and a comprehensive overview of modern Theravada meditation traditions.
.Previously published as Living Buddhist Masters.
"The materials in this book have been collected or translated over a number of years. They represent an intimate record of spoken Dharma, the teachings of many of the greatest living Buddhist masters." Jack Kornfield. |
