The Six Dharma Gates to the Sublime (Kalavinka Buddhist Classics)

“The Six Gates to the Sublime” is a Buddhist meditation instruction manual by Shramana Zhiyi, a renowned Chinese meditation master. It outlines six practices essential for success in Indian Buddhist breath-focused and calming-and-insight meditation. The manual explains that when implemented correctly, these practices lead to realization of the fourth of the four truths, with the “sublimity” being one of the four canonically-described practice aspects. Translated by Bhikshu Dharmamitra, the manual is a valuable resource for meditation practitioners.
