Recensione:

Surely destined to become the classic commentary on the Satipatthana. --Christopher Titmuss

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

I recommend this book to the thinking meditator and have no doubt that academics should attend to it. For me, this book presents the possibility of a very different way of practicing Buddhism and meditating - a more diverse and complete meditation - produced by an intensive dialogue and engagement with the Satipatthana Sutta. --Mark O'Donoghue, The Middle Way, 2004
