The Stillness of the Jhānas

The Seeing That Liberates

Omschrijving

This book arose from meditation. From direct experience. Each chapter breathes contemplation, presence, sensitivity, and freedom. The jhānas are not approached here as an end in themselves, but as a silent ground in which everything comes to rest and unfolds in clarity. In this receptive meditative space, the mind becomes still, and a field of cultivation (gocara) unfolds—fertile ground where wisdom (paññā; prajñā) may ripen: a foundation for the direct seeing (vipassanā; vipaśyanā) of the impermanence of all phenomena (anicca; anitya); for the deep understanding that nothing offers lasting fulfillment (dukkha; duḥkha); and for the insight into the absence of an enduring self (anattā; anātman). Whoever enters this field of cultivation need not attain anything—only remain with what presents itself. Doing through non-doing. In this bare awareness, seeing begins. What once seemed closed may open. What was quietly present may be recognized. This book is an invitation to use the jhānas as a compass of recognition—for those who do not fear silence, but trust it; for those willing to rest in what inwardly reveals itself through meditation.
