&quot;Stopping&quot; and &quot;seeing&quot; are sometimes referred to as the yin and yang of Buddhist meditation&mdash;complementary twin halves of a unified whole. In essence, &quot;stopping and seeing&quot; refers to stopping delusion and seeing truth, processes back to basic Buddhist practice. One of the most comprehensive manuals written on these two essential points of Buddhist meditation is &quot;The Great Stopping and Seeing,&quot; a monumental work written by sixth-century Buddhist master Chih-i. <i>Stopping and Seeing, </i> the first translation of this essential text, covers the principles and methods of a wide variety of Buddhist meditation techniques and provides an in-depth presentation of the dynamics of these practices.
