This book elucidates the early Buddhist teachings and beliefs concerning meditation and its role to liberation. An analysis is offered also of the non-Buddhist (especially Jaina and early Hindu) practices and beliefs as they are described in the non-Buddhist literature of the time. Passages in the Buddhist canon which emphasize the distinctions between Buddhism and other religious currents are also taken into consideration.
