"The Six Gates to the Sublime" is a classic Buddhist meditation
instruction manual explaining the six practices crucial to success
in traditional Indian Buddhist breath-focused (anapana) meditation
and calming-and-insight (samatha-vipasyana) meditation. Correctly
implemented, these six "gates" lead the meditator to realization of
the fourth of the four truths (cessation), of which the "sublimity"
referenced in the title is one of the four canonically-described
practice aspects. This classic was written by the sixth-century
monk and meditation master, Shramana Zhiyi (Chih-i), one of the
most illustrious figures in the history of Chinese Buddhism. Master
Zhiyi is famous for his role in the founding of the Tiantai
teachings lineage and for his authorship of a quartet of meditation
manuals of which this is one. The translator of this volume is the
American monk, Bhikshu Dharmamitra, a translator of numerous
classic works from the Indian and Chinese Buddhist traditions.
