Description |
Abstract |
Chapter seven discusses the role played by awareness as a means of pacifying the mind. The first part of the chapter presents various forms of meditative awareness in Nikāya and early Chan texts. It considers whether meditative awareness can be conceptualized as an active form of meditation which involves the implementation of some method. The final part of the chapter offers a hypothesis regarding the mechanism by which awareness of mental activities may lead to their pacification. |
