Inhaltsangabe

In this book Bhikkhu Anālayo, scholar and meditation teacher,
examines four developments in Buddhist meditation traditions
from the viewpoint of an apparently ongoing interaction between
theory and practice: A gradual reduction of the sixteen steps of
mindfulness of breathing to just focusing on the breath; an
apparent fascination with light and fire imagery leading to investing
the mind with intrinsic luminosity and purity; a tendency to grant
increasing importance to absorption as indispensable for the
progress of insight or even as intrinsically liberating, and a change of
compassion meditation from a boundless radiation to directing
this quality toward specific individuals and eventually just aiming it
at oneself
