Description: Before the development of Mahayana Buddhism, the Buddha offered his disciples profound teachings on emptiness and its importance in formal meditation and daily practice. Drawing on his long experience as a monk and meditation master, Venerable Analayo unpacks with meticulous rigor the instructions from the Great Discourse on Emptiness (Mahasuñ ñ atasutta) and the Small Discourse on Emptiness (Cu?asuñ ñ atasutta). In each chapter, he offers a translation of a relevant passage, accompanying it with clear and precise explanations and concluding with practical instructions. In this way, Dwelling in Emptiness builds bridges between Buddhist traditions and illuminates early Buddhist understandings of meditation on emptiness. By deciphering the foundational teachings of emptiness, Bhikkhu Analayo guides us from everyday life to the attainment of Nirvana.
