Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition 1st Edition/1st Printing hardcover and dust jacket. Scarce. "This book elucidates the early Buddhist teachings and beliefs concerning meditation and its role to liberation. In a number of cases, the Buddhist canonical texts reject practices which they accept elsewhere. When these practices--sometimes rejected, sometimes accepted--correspond to what is known about non-Buddhist practices, the conclusion is then proposed that they are non-Buddhist practices which have somehow found their way into the Buddhist tests. A similar procedure enables one to choose between conflicting beliefs. In order to arrive at these results, an analysis is offered 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." -- the publishers.
