Description

This scholarly examination explores the striking parallels between early Buddhist teachings in the Nikayas and the meditative approaches of early Chan Buddhism, challenging conventional interpretations of both traditions. The author traces unorthodox passages that reveal surprisingly similar ideas about meditation, consciousness, and reality across these two distinct Buddhist schools. By examining texts that have historically been overlooked or misinterpreted due to their unconventional character, this book demonstrates how early Chan practice diverges from mainstream Buddhism in ways directly rooted in the original Nikaya teachings. Rather than viewing Chan as a radical departure, this study reveals deep continuities in how the earliest Buddhist texts approached mind training and enlightenment. Published by Equinox as part of the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies Monographs series, this volume offers fresh scholarly perspective on the philosophical foundations of meditation in Buddhism and contributes significantly to understanding the historical development of Chan Buddhism from its Nikaya sources.

Key Features

Explores the philosophical connections between Nikaya Buddhism texts and early Chan meditation practices through comparative textual analysis.

The Equinox-published monograph challenges conventional scholarship by highlighting unconventional passages often ignored in traditional Buddhist interpretations.

Part of the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies Monographs series, providing rigorous academic examination of Buddhist meditative philosophy.

Traces distinctive early Buddhist teachings in the Nikayas that influenced the development of early Chan approaches to consciousness and reality.
