Lay Buddhist practices and beliefs -- 7. Meditation -- Conclusion."Theravada translates as "the way of the Elders," indicating that this Buddhist tradition considers itself to be the most authoritative and pure. Tracing all the way back to the time of the Buddha, Theravada Buddhism is distinguished by canonical literature preserved in the Pali language, beliefs, and practices-resources for which are often specialized and academic in tone. By contrast, this book will serve as a foundational and accessible resource on Theravada Buddhism and the contemporary, lived world of its enduring tradition"--

Living kindness : metta practice for the whole of our lives / by Griffin, Kevin Edward,1950-author.(CARDINAL)467571;

Includes bibliographical references."A fresh look at the Buddhist principle of metta, or loving-kindness. Dharma teacher Kevin Griffin demonstrates that metta is not just a meditation practice--it's a radical, selfless way of life based in universal love for all beings. In Living Kindness, Kevin Griffin guides us through the stories of the Pali Canon of Buddhism to deepen our understanding of the "brahmaviharas," or practices of love, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Appealing to the direct words of the Buddha, Griffin challenges us to consider that these practices are not just for developing positive states on the meditation cushion--they're important aspects of living in community and caring for our world. Ultimately, to live kindness is to express the deepest Buddhist wisdom of selflessness and non-clinging. Written in a personal and intimate tone, Living Kindness reads like words from one friend on the spiritual path to another. By unpacking the rich stories of the Pali Canon that often go underappreciated, Griffin transports us to the time of the Buddha, reveals the contemporary relevance of his teachings, and underscores the human dimension of what can seem like lofty philosophy. With guided meditation practices on themes such as forgiveness, the preciousness of human birth, managing emotional attachment, and relating to the "Greed, Hatred, and Delusion Report" of news media, Living Kindness will appeal not only to Buddhist practitioners seeking traditional teachings, but to anyone who wants to grow in their capacity to love unconditionally in a troubled world"--Preface -- Introduction -- May I Be Peaceful: Loving Yourself -- Like Milk and Water: Living in Community -- The Simile of the Saw: Non-Ill Will -- A Troubled World: The Greed, Hatred, and Delusion Report -- Born from Those Who Are Dear: Non-Attachment -- As a Mother Protects Her Child: Living Fearlessly -- Sustain This Recollection: Mindfulness and Metta -- The Pure-Hearted One: Hindrances and Abodes -- Abiding in Equanimity: Concentration and the Brahmaviharas -- Radiating Kindness: The Practice of Metta -- This Is What Should Be Done: The Metta Sutta -- Not Born Again into This World: Awakening -- Over the Entire World: Metta for the Earth -- Afterword -- Acknowledgments -- Glossary -- References and Resources.

Esoteric Theravada : the story of the forgotten meditation tradition of Southeast Asia / by Crosby, Kate(Religion scholar),author.;

"Discover the esoteric branch of Theravada meditation in the first English-language exploration of a practice tradition nearly lost to history. In this groundbreaking book, scholar Kate Crosby illuminates the once-dominant traditional Theravada meditation system known as borān kamahāna. Theravadan Buddhism, though often understood as the school that most carefully preserved the practices originally taught by the Buddha, has in fact undergone tremendous change over time. Prior to Western concerns with the separation of science and religion that influenced Asian Buddhist modernizers, there existed a tradition of embodied, esoteric, and culturally regional Theravadan meditation practices. These meditation systems differ radically from the reformed, text-based meditations that are now taught in Theravada Buddhism, including Vipassana and Insight Meditation, as well as Buddhist and secular mindfulness. Drawing on a quarter century of research, Crosby offers the first holistic discussion of borān kamahāna in the context of historical events and cultural processes by which the practice has been marginalized in the modern era. Readers of Esoteric Theravada will never see Theravada Buddhism in the same light again"--Includes bibliographical references and index.The colonial gaze : the invisibility of premodern Theravada meditation -- Abhidhamma and practice : the path in Theravada meditation systems -- Documenting the esoteric : the production and survival of evidence for premodern Theravada meditation -- Technologies of transformation : grammar, mathematics and the significance of substitution -- Transformation of the body : meditation, medicine and chemistry -- From centre to periphery : the changing place of borān kammaṭṭhāna under Thai influence -- Meditation in modern revivals.
