Mindfulness and Insight: The Mahasi Method

If you want to plow through a lot of pages about Buddhism, be my guest. It's supposed to be a recommended book but IMO only if you are already interested in this subject.Maybe it's me, but I find these kinds of books really dense and repetitive, far more words than my engineering mind wants to grasp. I find myself thinking, 'get to the point'!

This is sort of the ur-text of Vipassana/Insight method that has largely made up modernist and Western Theravada practice for most of a century. While there are valid critiques of the simplification of the Buddha-Dhamma in both buddhological, historical, and sociological terms, it is a core text for mindfulness before it became a self-help buzz word. While it can be repetitive in its presentation and people who know early and Theravada Buddhism will find a lot of the context somewhat obvious, it is an essential book.

During the Buddha's time teaching involved repeating at least three times.

Esposizione forse troppo tecnica, ma profonda.
