Nyanaponika Thera (1901-1994) was a German-born Sri Lanka-ordained Theravada monk, cofounder of the Buddhist Publication Society, author of numerous books, and teacher of contemporary Western Buddhist leaders such as Bhikkhu Bodhi.
It's wonderful to see this new edition of an invaluable, classic
meditation guide. Nyanaponika Thera's The Heart of Buddhist
Meditation is sure to benefit many. Sharon Salzberg, CoFounder of
The Insight Meditation Society-- "Reviews"
This is the book that started it all--the book that, with great
clarity and ardor, introduced Vipassana and mindfulness to the
West. I still have and cherish my dogeared, heavily underlined and
annotated copy from way back when--with the price tag still on it:
$3.00. Of course its content is timeless--and universal. All
teachers of mindfulnessbased programs would do well to carefully
read and reread this book and reflect upon the ways in which
mindfulness is described in terms of both bare attention and clear
comprehension. Jon KabatZinn, author of Mindfulness for Beginners
and FullCatastrophe Living-- "Reviews"
