Product Description
Product Description
"Stopping" and "seeing" are sometimes referred to as the yin and yang of Buddhist meditation—complementary twin halves of a unified whole. In essence, "stopping and seeing" refers to stopping delusion and seeing truth, processes back to basic Buddhist practice. One of the most comprehensive manuals written on these two essential points of Buddhist meditation is "The Great Stopping and Seeing," a monumental work written by sixth-century Buddhist master Chih-i. Stopping and Seeing, the first translation of this essential text, covers the principles and methods of a wide variety of Buddhist meditation techniques and provides an in-depth presentation of the dynamics of these practices.
Ingram
A study of the dynamics of Buddhist meditation explores the foundational principles of shamatha and vipashyana, or the process of stopping delusion and seeing truth, in a guide written by a sixth-century Buddhist master. Original.

A Good Resource,
By David P Oller (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stopping and Seeing: A Comprehensive Course in Buddhist Meditation (Paperback)
Until a better translation comes along, this is one of the only English works on Master Chih-i who has been a reference for Zen and Esoteric Buddhists in Japan for centuries.The concept Shikan (Jp.) Chi Kuan (Chinese) is that of Stopping & Seeing. This is the basic meditation of Buddhism, (Shamatha and Vipashyana). The work is also one of the few Buddhist documents that references Incense used in Buddhist meditation. A good reference in respect to the incense mentions is Bedini's "Trail of Time" and the Chapter regarding the Nalada monks going to China, and the Incense Seal of Avolokitesvara.
