"""Through this book, Ven. Analayo continues to build bridges between different Buddhist traditions, linking contemplations on emptiness to ancient doctrines and discourses, while highlighting their common heritage. He skillfully opens an avenue for meditative practice on emptiness for all, including contemporary Theravadin practitioners. This practical guide is for all those with a firm grounding in embodied meditation.""--Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche ""When many Buddhist scholars and practitioners hear the word emptiness, they immediately think of the Mahayana tradition. But the early Buddhist tradition also incorporates a rich and profound understanding of emptiness and practices for meditation on emptiness. The venerable Bhikkhu Analayo brings his meticulous scholarship and his deep meditative experience to bear in this beautiful volume that explains how emptiness is understood in early Buddhist traditions, and how to use this understanding in one's meditative practice. The union of exposition and meditative advice is powerful and is presented with perfect clarity.""--Jay Garfield, Doris Silbert Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Philosophy and Buddhist Studies, Smith College and the Harvard Divinity School"
