Introducing a Special Collection on the Ethics of Mindfulness
Clarifying and Advancing the Play of Formulas: A Response to Bhikkhu Anālayo
This is my rejoinder to Bhikkhu Anālayo’s “critical reply” to my monograph published in late 2021, titled Visions of the Buddha: Creative Dimensions of Early Buddhist Scripture.

These d…
