| Introduction | A dedicated contemplative practicing in a Nikayan Buddhist context, but not strictly so. Nikayan refers to pre-sectarian Buddhism as defined in the Nikayas (collections) portion of the Pali Canon. Thus, I do not include any of the later commentarial works put forth by any of the later traditions and schools in my practice, unless they agree with the Nikayas. I do this simply to avoid confusion. My emphasis is on meditation, specifically Ennobling Absorption (Samma-Samadhi), which was defined by the historical Buddha in terms of Jhana. |
