This program will undertake an in-depth study of mindfulness meditation based on a comparative study of the three extant versions of the Satipaṭṭhāna-sutta, where besides the well-known version in the Pali Canon, two parallels have been preserved in Chinese. This program is meant for experienced practitioners of meditation only who wish to deepen their understanding of the canonical source material. While based on the academic method of research, the emphasis throughout the program will be on what is of practical relevance to actual meditation practice. The program will combine study and discussion sessions in the mornings with meditation practice during the rest of the day. Required reading in preparation for the program: Anālayo, Perspectives on Satipaṭṭhāna, Windhorse Publications (2013). Also recommended: Anālayo, Satipaṭṭhāna: the Direct Path to Realization, Windhorse Publications (2003).
