Facets of Mindfulness: Collected Studies (Early Buddhist Studies) Book

The present book collects for the most part revised versions of articles related in one way or another to mindfulness. It complements another collection of articles published in 2023 by the Agama Research Group and Aditya Prakashan under the title Studies in Agama and Vinaya Literature.

Contents: By way of introduction to this book, in the first chapter the author explores a distinction of wisdom into three types, with an emphasis on their relationship to mindfulness. The broad scope of relevance of the latter that emerges in this way has a complement in external mindfulness, taken up in the next two chapters (2 and 3), a dimension in the early Buddhist cultivation of mindfulness related to what happens to and within others, eventually leading to a stage when both the internal and the external are similarly covered.
