Product Information
A groundbreaking exploration of a practice tradition that was nearly lost to history. Theravada Buddhism, often understood as the school that most carefully preserved the practices taught by the Buddha, has undergone tremendous change over time. Prior to Western colonialism in Asia-which brought Western and modernist intellectual concerns, such as the separation of science and religion, to bear on Buddhism-there existed a tradition of embodied, esoteric, and culturally regional Theravada meditation practices. This once-dominant traditional meditation system, known as boran kammatthana , is related to-yet remarkably distinct from-Vipassana and other Buddhist and secular mindfulness practices that would become the hallmark of Theravada Buddhism in the twentieth century. Drawing on a quarter century of research, scholar Kate Crosby offers the first holistic discussion of boran kammatthana , illuminating the historical events and cultural processes by which the practice has been marginalized in the modern era.

Reviews
"This book is one of the most important works on the history of Southeast Asian and Southern Buddhist meditation for decades. It shows how a whole tradition of practice, meditation, and mindfulness was lost--almost--in the wave of interest in Buddhism for its "scientific" and rational elements over the last hundred and fifty years. The Boran Kamahana is the living meditative tradition of Cambodia and Thailand. Until only a few decades ago, it was taught throughout these regions. Crosby's book shows how this expressive, embodied system of samatha/vipassana meditation constitutes the oldest documented lineage of Buddhist practice in South and Southeast Asia. Belittled by modernist impulses, the system offers a complete path of spiritual development that works on principles found in South and Southeast Asian generative grammar, medicine, yantra, and the Abhidhamma. This account of how Boran Kamahana originated as an enactment of Asian generative systems is brilliant, concise, and revelatory. Boran Kamahana is scientific, but in ways steeped in highly sophisticated ancient models of grammar and medicine colonialists did not understand. Reformist agendas, still active today, undermined its rich meditative line: Crosby's work is essential reading for anyone interested in a true picture of traditional Buddhist practice in these regions. Esoteric Theravada rewrites the recent history of Southern Buddhist meditation."--Sarah Shaw, author of Mindfulness: Where It Comes From and What It Means "Professor Crosby's book sheds new light on a vitally important yet neglected--at times even suppressed--system of meditative practice in South and Southeast Asia. Her work reveals forms of meditation, once widely practiced though now nearly extinct, that diverge sharply from the techniques and even the mindset of the insight practices ( vipassana ) dominant today. Deeply researched and lucidly written, Esoteric Theravada is necessary reading for anyone interested in Theravada Buddhist philosophy ( Abhidhamma ), the interfaces of scientific learning and practices of self-cultivation, and the history of Buddhist meditation."--Erik Braun, author of The Birth of Insight and coeditor of Meditation, Buddhism, and Science "Dr. Crosby's new book on traditional Theravada meditation signals a new direction in the history of South and Southeast Asian Buddhism. She has uncovered, through an intense interrogation of rare materials, an entire lineage of meditation teachers, methods, and existential ratiocinations that have been neglected by scholars. She effectively cauterizes a festering wound in the field and will lead a new generation of scholars to a fuller and more nuanced understanding of relation between the body and the mind in regional Buddhist practice."--Justin Thomas McDaniel, Professor of Buddhist studies, University of Pennsylvania "Crosby's acribic detective work has uncovered the principles of a hitherto almost forgotten meditation tradition that was called 'the old practices'( Boran Kamahana ). The principles of Boran Kamahana are hidden in texts abounding with metaphors and substitutions. Crosby unravels and explains these texts by entering thought modes of preindustrial times, mapping correspondences between parts of the body and mystical ideas, and using letter, sound, and number symbolism. By showing us 'the old practices,' Crosby lays to rest the myth of a pure authentic original Theravada tradition, a myth that too long obscured the diversity of the past."--Barend Jan Terwiel, Emeritus Professor of Thai and Lao Languages and Literatures, Hamburg University

The funko has the same issue that a lot of funkos depicting women has: the Barbie factor. The legs and body are minuscule and cannot support the giant head. If removed from the box the funko will fall over very easily.
The painting is good, and it’s a fairly accurate depiction of Sersi.
