Acknowledgments
The editor's indebtedness to Chao Khun Sobhana Dham-
masudhi and the Reverend Eshin Nishimura goes without
saying. Neither the experiment in Buddhist meditation nor
this volume would have been possible without them. The
Venerable Dhammasudhi initially went to England to
serve as head priest at the Buddhapadipa Temple in Lon-
don. Responding to the strong interest in Buddhist medita-
tion and with the support of some of his followers, he
established a Vipassana Centre in Hindhead, Surrey, a
London suburb. He
is
the author of
Insight Meditation,
The Real Way to Awakening
and
Benefic.ial Factors of
Meditation
and
has
lectured widely in
this
country and on
the continent.
The
Reverend Nishimura is currently a
research scholar in religion at the Institute for Religion,
Hanazona College, Kyoto, as well as serving a Rinzai
temple in neighboring Shiga-ken. He has completed
his
studies for the Ph.D. in religion at Kyoto University and
for two years (1956-1958) was a student of Shibayama
Roshi at Nanzen-ji in Kyoto. Before his visit to this country
in 1969 he had spent a year at Pendle Hill, the Quaker
study center in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, and he was at
Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, during the winter
quarter of 1971.
The editor is particularly honored to be able to include
