Con đường thiền chỉ và thiền quán
Con đường Thiền Chỉ Thiền Quán”đã được Ngài Guṇaratana trình bày một cách khúc chiết, rõ ràng có thể giúp cho những ai muốn nghiên cứu tường tận chỗ đồng dị, cộng biệt, sinh khắc của hai pháp môn này hầu tránh tình trạng nhầm lẫn, võ đoán và phiến diện trong lý thuyết cũng như trong thể nghiệm con đường giác ngộ giải thoát.
Rất nhiều sách trình bày nhầm lẫn giữa Định và Tuệ hay Chỉ và Quán, đưa đến tình trạng định không ra định, tuệ chẳng ra tuệ, hoặc hành thiền định hóa ra chỉ là những “ngoại thuật” (những hình thức tập trung tư tưởng hay ý chí có mục đích khác với định nhà Phật), và hành thiền tuệ lại có kết quả của định rồi tưởng lầm là đã chứng được các bậc tuệ quán....

About the author
Henepola Gunaratana
33 books354 followersBhante Henepola Gunaratana is the founding abbot of the Bhavana Society. Born in rural Sri Lanka, he has been a monk since age 12 and took full ordination at age 20 in 1947. He came to the United States in 1968. “Bhante G” (as he is fondly called by his students) has written a number of books, including the now-classic meditation manual Mindfulness In Plain English and its companion Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness. Bhante G regularly leads retreats on vipassana, mindfulness, metta (Loving-friendliness), concentration, and other topics both at the Bhavana Society and elsewhere.
Bhante Gunaratana is an internationally recognized author and meditation teacher. Prior to coming to the United States, he spent five years doing in missionary work with the Harijanas (Untouchables) of India and ten years in Malaysia. He has taught in a number of settings, including American University of Washington DC where he served as Buddhist chaplain and the Buddhist Vihara of Washington DC, where he served as president. Bhante G has a strong scholarly background and livelong commitment to dhamma.
In 1985 Bhante G co-founded the Bhavana Society and became its abbot. He wanted to teach meditation in an environment allowing for longer retreats and intense practice free from the trappings of a city vihara. He continues to teach in the direct, compassionate style that characterizes his books and articles. Bhante G conveys a well-rounded approach to Buddhist Dhamma, touching on all aspects of the Noble Eightfold Path. He emphasizes metta bhavana (the cultivation of loving-friendliness) as a basis for samma-samadhi, or right concentration. As a teacher, he is known for his emphasis both on samadhi and on metta as part of spiritual training.
In 1996, Bhante G received the title of Chief Sangha Nayaka Thera for North America. This acknowledged his status as highest-ranking monk of his sect in the United States and Canada. In 2003, his autobiography, Journey to Mindfulness, was published. In 2005, the Sri Henepola Gunaratana Scholarship Trust was founded under his guidance. This trust provides educations for poverty stricken children in rural Sri Lanka.
Bhante G continues to write articles, lead retreats, and teach at the Bhavana Society and all over the world.
