Review: A meticulous labor of love that will be a constant companion. - This is, along with Bhikkhu Bodhis book on the Noble Eightfold Path, one of my favourite Dharma books. I find it very useful fir dipping back into and it is a goldmine of information on mindfulness; how to develop it, and how to use it in the investigation of our experience in order to ultimately free ourselves. It includes many crucial Buddhist teachings as they apply to munsfulness, such as five aggregates as they make up our subjective experience, the hindrances that sour our individual experiences of happiness and the five awakening factors that when present will promote happiness and freedom. The author is a brilliant academic (this was his doctoral thesis) and his work is very thoughtful, thorough and methodical. Everything is referenced wonderfully and everything is clear, logical and to the point. The author is also obviously also a passionate dharma practitioner sharing a highly practical and practisable labor of love with others interested in practising classical Buddhist mindfulness. I have purchased his other book as I rate the quality of the authors work so highly.
Review: Solid discourse - Solid discourse by a non-Asian scholar. Not a popular introduction that often strives to inspire, but very helpful nevertheless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid discourse
*by ***** on 10 August 2018*

Solid discourse by a non-Asian scholar. Not a popular introduction that often strives to inspire, but very helpful nevertheless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such an amazing book- so clearly set out and easy to follow/understand

Such an amazing book- so clearly set out and easy to follow/understand. Guides one through the Satipatthana sutta leaving no stone unturned. Humble thanks to Ven. Analayo.
