Reviews
Remembering the Pas t is a wonderfully interesting book. In addition to the religious studies audience, anthropologists will find much to engage in this book, offering a rare comparative study that provides provocative examples ripe for further engagement., This remarkably original and fascinating ethnography of mindfulness (sati) in Thailand, Burma, and Sri Lanka looks at traditional and modern(ist) Buddhism, western-derived scientific psychotherapy, and the everyday discourses of monks and laity. It should be read by Buddhists, scholars of Buddhism, and all modern practitioners and advocates of mindfulness training., "This is an important and fascinating book, examining a key concept, "mindfulness," from multiple perspectives: religious studies, Southeast Asian studies, anthropology, psychology. The book should be of interest to a wide range of readers, to anyone interested in meditation. The author is an outstanding scholar who explores mindfulness as understood--and lived and practiced--in individual lives and in Theravadan religious traditions, throwing invaluable light on its meaning and therapeutic aspects.", "The book is ambitious and easy to read, has many "rich descriptions," that would be good for undergraduates and graduate students interested in mindfulness, Southeast Asian Theravada Buddhism, and the anthropology of Buddhism", Remembering the Present is a wonderfully interesting book.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
