Ethical dimensions of mindfulness in early Buddhist thought
Decentering, Acceptance, and Non-Attachment
Among mindfulness measures the three constructs acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment are psychometrically closely related, despite their apparent semantic differences. These three facets present robust psychometric features and can be considered core themes in most “third wave” clinical models. The aim of the present study was to explore the apparently different content domains (acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment) by administering…
Hearing, Reflection, and Cultivation
A text-historical perspective on the Buddhist scheme of three types of wisdom, acquired by hearing, reflection, and cultivation, shows that a bare listing in the earliest textual strata has led to somewhat differing perspectives in later exegesis of the Theravāda and Sarvāstivāda traditions, the former apparently being influenced by what appears to be an error in oral transmission. The more convincing position taken in Sarvāstivāda exegesis sees …
Why Be Mindful of Feelings
In this paper I explore possible reasons why, from an early Buddhist soteriological perspective, feelings are considered an object of meditation practice sufficiently important to become one of the four main domains of satipaṭṭhāna practice
Ekottarika-?gama Discourse Without Parallels
With the present paper I study and translate a discourse in the Ekottarika-?gama preserved in Chinese of which no parallel in other discourse collections is known. This situation relates to the wider issue of what significance to accord to the absence of parallels from the viewpoint of the early Buddhist oral transmission. The main topic of the discourse itself is perception of impermanence, which is of central importance in the early Buddhist sc…
On the Supposedly Liberating Function of the First Absorption
This article offers a critical reply to the proposal by Arbel (in Buddhist Studies Review 32(2), 2015) that the attainment of the first absorption has in itself a liberating function in the early Buddhist path to awakening
Note on the Term Therav?da
With the present article I study the trajectory of the term therav?da from its earliest occurrence in the P?li canon to its present day usage as a designation of the form of Buddhism found in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. My presentation begins with the term therav?da in the P?li discourses, followed by turning to the P?li commentaries and chronicles. Next I examine the role of the P?li canon in the Therav?da tradition and the conception of Thera…
Dabba’s Self-cremation in the Sa?yukta-?gama
The present article studies the self-cremation of Dabba Mallaputta, based on a translation of the Sa?yukta-?gama parallel to two discourses in the Ud?na that record this event
Vakkali’s Suicide in the Chinese ?gamas
The present article offers a translation of the Sa?yukta-?gama and Ekottarika-?gama parallels to the Vakkali-sutta of the Sa?yutta-nik?ya, which describes the suicide of a monk who passed away as an arahant
Channa's Suicide in the Sa?yukta-?gama
The present article offers a translation of the Sa?yukta-?gama parallel to the Channa-sutta of the Sa?yutta-nik?ya, which describes the events surrounding the suicide of a monk who might have been an arahant
Teachings to Lay Disciples - The Sa?yukta-?gama Parallel to the An?thapi??ikov?da-sutta
The present article offers a translation of the Sa?yukta-?gama parallel to the An?thapi??ikov?da-sutta of the Majjhima-nik?ya, which records a set of insight instructions given by S?riputta to the terminally sick lay disciple An?thapi??ika. At the end of the discourse, An?thapi??ika sorrowfully remarks that he never received such profound instructions earlier. This remark has prompted me to undertake a closer examination of the teachings that, ac…
Neñjasapp?ya-sutta and its Parallels on Imperturbability and the Contribution of Insight to the Development of Tranquillity
The present article studies the meditative approaches to imperturbability depicted in the ?neñjasapp?ya-sutta and its Chinese and Tibetan parallels. By way of introduction to the main theme broached in this discourse, I briefly survey P?li discourses relevant to the early Buddhist notion of imperturbability. Next I examine the presentation given in the ?neñjasapp?ya-sutta based on translated extracts from its Madhyama-?gama parallel, noting varia…
Conversion of Angulimala in the Samyukta-agama
The present article offers a translation and comparative study of the conversion of Angulimala as recorded in the Samyukta-agama preserved in Chinese, with particular emphasis on what transformed a killer into a saint
