Mahasatipatthana Sutta

This is a revised edition of the text in Roman-script Pali with translation into English for the use of partipants in a meditation course on the Satipatthana Sutta as taught by S.N. Goenka. This sutta is the primary discourse in which the Buddha describes the practice of meditation in detail. This translation of the Mahāsatipaṭṭhāna Sutta has Roman-script Pāli with an English translation on facing pages as well as an introductory article and detailed footnotes explaining Pali terms and phrases. This highly significant text will be of interest to any serious student of meditation or of the Buddha's teaching. Using this text, Mr. Goenka gives evening discourses explaining why Vipassana is taught the way it is.
