Description

Explore the historical roots of meditation in this scholarly work from the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series. This book examines early material linked to the Buddha to investigate the origins of his meditative methods. By analyzing early Brahminic literature, specifically the early Upanishads and Moksadharma, the author provides a detailed argument regarding the historical reality of the Buddha's teachers. This text offers a deep look into the connection between early Brahminic traditions and the Buddha's own teachings. It presents a compelling case that Alara Kalama and Uddaka Ramaputta were actual historical figures who taught the Buddha. For students of Buddhist Studies and scholars of religious philosophy, this book provides a foundation for understanding how early meditation techniques were developed and passed down. It serves as a significant contribution to the academic study of Buddhist history and the evolution of spiritual practices.
