Any practitioner, after meditating for some time, inevitably
wonders what meditation method the historical Buddha Shakyamuni
himself used while beneath the Bodhi Tree. Many people understand
that prior to his realization, Shakyamuni Buddha studied with many
of great yogis of his time, but most do not know what method he
ultimately found leads most directly to Nirvana. In Ajhan
Buddhadasa Bhikku's book, "Mindfulness With Breathing, " the Thai
meditation master provides practitioners with penetrating insights
into the Anapanasati Sutta, the sacred canonical text which many
believe is the most direct transmission of Shakyamuni Buddha's
breath meditation methods. Combined with a concise translation of
the Sutta itself, "Mindfulness With Breathing" is one of the best
guides to Buddhist meditation practice available in the English
language.
In 'Heartwood of the Bodhi Tree', Buddhadasa Bhikkhu presents in
simple language the philosophy of voidness, or sunnata, that lies
at the heart of the Buddhism. By carefully tying voidness to
ethical discipline, Buddhadasa provides us clear and open grounds
to reflect on the place of the philosophy in our lives. With his
ecumenical, stimulating, and enthusiastically engaged approach to
reading the Buddha's teaching in full flourish, Ajahn Buddhadasa
transforms the jungle of philosophy into a glade as inviting as the
one in which he famously taught.
