The book demonstrates that the four jhanas have been misunderstood in Buddhist psychology and philosophy, by inaccurate interpretations and oversights of key terms and aspects of the meditation process. By carefully analysing all aspects of the four jhanas, the relationship between this central element in the Buddhist path and 'insight meditation' is revealed in all its power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeren Arbel\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a PhD in Buddhist Studies and teaches at the Department of East Asian Studies in Tel Aviv University, Israel.
