Rezensionen

"A unique book exploring Husserlian methodology that intersects with Indian Buddhist thought by tuning-in through a close textual analysis of Satipa hana (foundation of mindfulness). Lively everyday examples and clear explanations are a treat for both novices and experts alike."

Jay Goulding, York University, Canada

"This is a good introduction to an important topic mindfulness in Indian Buddhism in terms of a phenomenological interpretation."

Wing-Cheuk Chan, Brock University, Canada
