The Two Traditions of Meditation in Ancient India

by Johannes Bronkhorst

An influential study that distinguishes an ascetic, Jain-like tradition of meditation aimed at suppressing activity from the early Buddhist path of insight. Bronkhorst uses Jain, Buddhist and Brahmanical texts to reconstruct the history of meditative practice in ancient India.
