The Basic Dynamics of Insight Meditation


Veneerable Analayo compares the three main insight traditions (Mahasi, Goenka, Pa Auk) and traces back similarities via the commentarial scheme of insight knowledges to a basic pattern of insight in the suttas.



Bhikkhu Analayo was born in Germany in 1962 and ordained in Sri Lanka in
1995. In the year 2000 he completed a Ph.D. thesis on the Satipatthana-sutta
at the University of Peradeniya (published by Windhorse in the UK). In the year
2007 he completed a habilitation research at the University of Marburg, in
which he compared the Majjhima-nikaya discourses with their Chinese,
Sanskrit, and Tibetan counterparts. At present, he is a member of the Centre for
Buddhist Studies, University of Hamburg, as a Privatdozent (the German
equivalent to an associate professorship), and works as a researcher at Dharma
Drum Buddhist College, Taiwan. Besides his academic activities, he regularly
teaches meditation in Sri Lanka.
