Man, I stick up for 2E and I can usually find a positive in most of the 2E products, but I am hard pressed with Rogues’ Gallery (1992).

A little background — I remember buying this in 1993 or ‘94 and it was one of those rare times in high school that I had an extra couple bucks in my pocket but none of the local shops had any cool RPG books, so I settled for what was available. New D&D thing can’t be that bad, right? Nope. Instant disappoint me. I lost it in the flood that killed a lot of my other D&D books, but unlike those, it passed into oblivion unmourned. I completely forgot about it until I was thinking about doing a week on the REF books. Lo, REF6 is an NPC book, lemme get that and oh no, now I have paid money for this stupid book TWICE.

So, this is a book of NPCs. They’re laid out in the style of the Monstrous Compendium, on loose leaf sheets. I love that for monsters; I hate it for NPCs. The art is terrible throughout. Even the stuff by Ken Frank, who I usually enjoy. All of it is color paintings reproduced in black and white, which I hate. A lot of it is by the artist who did the filler art for the official AD&D trading cards. I mostly can’t get past the art to read about the NPCs, but none of them seem particularly interesting. One of them is an old lady with a tray of brownies who is apparently a neutral evil master of disguise. Another is named Rockhead without a hint of irony. There are an unusual number of men in loin clothes. Even the Caldwell cover is underwhelming.

Don’t buy this book.

The Quest for Buddhism (120)

Buddhist cosmology

Samatha-vippasana – Buddhist yoga

Samatha-vipassana is the main form of Buddhist meditation and yogic practice, yoga. In a broad sense, it is part of Zen.

Buddhist yoga practice is samatha-vippasana, in which samatha (stillness: Ref) and vippasana (insight: Ref2) take place simultaneously. The emphasis on observation as well as cessation is characteristic of Buddhist meditation methods. Cessation and contemplation are often compared to two wheels, which are inseparable. The diverse development of this technique of prayer and meditation, incorporating yogic contemplation (meditation), is a characteristic of Buddhism.

Buddhist yoga encompasses a variety of methods which aim to develop the 37 aids to awakening (Ref3). Its ultimate goal is bodhi (awakening) or nirvana (cessation), traditionally seen as the permanent end of suffering (dukkha) and rebirth. Buddhist texts use a number of terms for spiritual praxis in addition to yoga, such as bhavana ("development": Ref4) and jhana (dhyana: Ref5).

In early Buddhism, yoga practices included:

the rupa dhyanas (four meditations or mental absorptions: Ref6),

the four satipatthanas (foundations or establishments of mindfulness),

anapanasati (mindfulness of breath: Ref7),

the four immeasurable minds (supranormal states of mind),

the brahmaviharas (divine abodes: Ref8).

Anussati (contemplations, recollections)

*Note: the four satipatthanas are the most central and most important contemplation for attaining enlightenment since the time of the Buddha's early Buddhism, and the core contemplative practice of the main Buddhist meditation of samatha-vipassana.

These meditations were seen as supported by the other elements of the Noble Eightfold Path (Ref9), such as ethics, right exertion, sense restraint and right view. Two mental qualities are said to be indispensable for yoga practice in Buddhism: samatha (calm, stability) and vipassanā (insight, clear seeing). Samatha is a stable, relaxed mind, associated with samadhi (mental unification, focus) and dhyana (a state of meditative absorption). Vipassana is insight or penetrative understanding into the true nature of phenomena, also defined as "seeing things as they truly are" (yathābhūtaṃ darśanam). A unique feature of classical Buddhism is its understanding of all phenomena (dhamma) as being empty of a self (Pali: anatta Skt: anatman, literally "non-self").

仏教の宇宙論

止観 〜 仏教ヨガ

止観 (しかん、梵: ｻﾏﾀ･ｳﾞｨﾊﾟｯｻﾅｰ) とは、仏教の瞑想の主なものであり、ヨガ行である。広い意味で禅の一部に組み込まれている。

仏教のヨガ行は、サマタ (止: 参照) とヴィパッサナー (観: 参照2) が同時に行われる止観である。サマタ (止) だけでなくヴィパッサナー (観) も重視するところに、仏教の瞑想法の特徴がある。止観は、しばしば2つの車輪に例えられ、不離の関係にある。ヨーガ観法 (瞑想法) を取り入れて、この祈りと瞑想の技術が多様に発展したことが、仏教の特徴であるといえる。

仏教のヨガは、悟りを開くための37の修行項目（参照3）を開発することを目的とした様々な方法が組み込まれている。その究極の目標は菩提 (覚醒) または涅槃 (止)で、伝統的には苦 (梵･巴: ﾄﾞｩｯｶ) と転生の永久的な終わりと見なされている。仏典では、ヨガ行に加えて、瞑想の発達 (ﾊﾞｰｳﾞｧﾅｰ: 参照4) や禅定 (ぜんじょう、梵: ﾃﾞｲﾔｰﾅ、巴: ｼﾞｬｰﾅ: 参照5) など、精神修養のための用語がいくつか使われている。

初期仏教では、ヨガの修行には以下のようなものがあった:

四禅 (しぜん、梵: ﾙｰﾊﾟﾃﾞｲﾔｰﾅ、四つの瞑想または精神的吸収: 参照6）

四念処 (しねんじょ、巴: ﾁｬｯﾀｰﾛｰ･ｻﾃｨﾊﾟｯﾀｰﾅｰ、マインドフルネスの基礎となるもの）

安那般那念 (あんなはんなねん、巴:ｱｰﾅｰﾊﾟｰﾅ･ｻﾃｨ、呼吸を意識すること: 参照7）

四無量心 (しむりょうしん、巴: ｱｯﾊﾟﾏﾅｰ、心の超常的な状態: 参照8）

四梵住 (しぼんじゅう、梵･巴:ﾌﾞﾗﾌﾏｰｳﾞｨﾊｰﾗ、神聖な住まい）

アヌサティ（観想、想起）

＊注）四念処 (しねんじょ、巴: ﾁｬｯﾀｰﾛｰ･ｻﾃｨﾊﾟｯﾀｰﾅｰ)とは、釈迦の初期仏教の時代から、悟りを得るための最も中心的で最も重要な観想であり、仏教の主要な瞑想である止観の中核をなす観想法である。

これらの瞑想は、倫理、正しい努力、感覚の抑制、正しい見方など、八正道（参照9）の他の要素によって支えられていると考えられていた。仏教では、ヨガの練習に欠かせない2つの精神的資質があると言われている。それがサマタ (静寂、安定) とヴィパッサナー (洞察、明察) である。サマタ (止) とは、安定したリラックスした心のことで、サマディ (三昧: 精神統一、集中) やディヤーナ (禅定: 瞑想的吸収の状態) に関連している。ヴィパッサナー(観) は現象の本質に対する洞察や浸透的な理解であり、「物事を本当にあるがままに見る」とも定義されている。古典仏教の特徴は、すべての現象（ダンマ）を無我 (むが、巴: ｱﾅｯﾀｰ、梵: ｱﾅｰﾄﾏﾝ) のものと理解することである。

The Quest for Buddhism (119)

Buddhist cosmology

Samatha and Vipassana meditations - the relationship

Gautama Buddha said to have identified two paramount mental qualities that arise from wholesome meditative practice are samatha (stillness: Ref) and vippasana (insight: Ref2).

It is the work of the still mind (samatha) that becomes wisdom (vipassana). Thus, it is to observe things correctly in accordance with the truth.

Thus, "stopping (samatha)" refers to meditation (jhana: Ref3), and "seeing (vipassana)" refers to wisdom (panna). Buddha realised that the root cause of human suffering is lack of clarity, and he allegedly attained enlightenment through contemplation of the twelve causal factors (Ref4) in order and in reverse order.

In the Pali canon, the Buddha never mentions independent samatha and vipassana meditation practices; instead, samatha and vipassana are two "qualities of mind" to be developed through meditation (jhana). When the Pali suttas depict the Buddha telling his disciples to go meditate, they never quote him as saying 'go do vipassana,' but always 'go do jhana.' And they never equate the word "vipassana" with any mindfulness techniques.

[How to]

Practice begins with the preparatory stage, the practice of sila, morality, giving up worldly thoughts and desires. Morality is a quintessential element of Buddhist practice, and is also emphasised by the first generation of post-war western teachers. Yet, it is noted that in the contemporary mindfulness movement, morality as an element of practice has been mostly discarded, 'mystifying' the origins of mindfulness.

The practitioner then engages in anapanasati (Ref5), mindfulness of breathing, which is described in the Satipatthana Sutta as going into the forest and sitting beneath a tree and then to simply watch the breath. If the breath is long, to notice that the breath is long, if the breath is short, to notice that the breath is short.

The practitioner also becomes aware of the perpetual changes involved in breathing, and the arising and passing away of mindfulness. This noticing is accompanied by reflections on causation and other Buddhist teachings, leading to insight into suffering (dukkha), non-self (anatta), and impermanence (anicca). When the three characteristics have been comprehended, reflection subdues, and the process of noticing accelerates, noting phenomena in general, without necessarily naming them.

Some sects point out that the practice of both samatha and vipassana together allows one to achieve various mental powers and higher knowledge (Skt: abhijna, Ref6), including the attainment of Nirvana, whereas the practice of vipassana alone allows for the achievement of Nirvana, but no other mental powers or knowledges.

仏教の探求 (119)

仏教の宇宙論

サマタ瞑想とヴィパッサナー瞑想 〜 その関係性

ゴータマ・ブッダは、健全な瞑想の実践から生まれる最も重要な心の資質として、サマタ (静止: 参照) とヴィッパサナー (洞察力: 参照2) の2つを特定したと言われている。

それは、不動の心(ｻﾏﾀ)が、智慧(ｳﾞｨﾊﾟｯｻﾅ-)のはたらきとなって、事物を真理に即して正しく観察することである。

このように、サマタ(止)とは禅定 (ﾃﾞｨﾔｰﾅ: 参照3) に当たり、ヴィパッサナー(観)とは智慧に相当している。ブッダはサマタ(止)により、人間の苦の根本原因が無明であることを自覚し、十二因縁（参照4）を順逆に観想するヴィパッサナー(観)によって無明を脱したとされる。

パーリ仏典では、ブッダは独立したサマタとヴィパッサナー瞑想の修行について言及せず、代わりにサマタとヴィパッサナーは瞑想を通して開発すべき二つの「心の資質」であると述べている。ブッダが弟子たちに瞑想をするように言うときには、「ヴィパッサナーをしなさい」とは言わず、常に「ジャーナをしなさい」と言っていた。また、「ヴィパッサナー」という言葉をマインドフルネスのテクニックと同一視することはない。

[修行方法]

修行は、まず準備段階として、世俗的な考えや欲望を捨て、シーラ (道徳) を実践することから始まる。道徳は仏教の修行の真髄をなす要素であり、それは戦後の西洋の第一世代の教師たちによっても強調されている。しかし、現代のマインドフルネス運動では、修行の要素としての道徳はほとんど捨て去られ、マインドフルネスの起源を「神秘化」していると指摘されている。

実践者は次に安那般那念 (あんなはんなねん、巴:ｱｰﾅｰﾊﾟｰﾅ･ｻﾃｨ、梵:ｱｰﾅｰﾊﾟｰﾅ･ｽﾑﾘﾃｨ 参照5)、呼吸のマインドフルネスに取り組み、森に行き、木の下に座り、そして単に呼吸を見ることとして念処経 (ねんじょきょう、巴:ｻﾃｨﾊﾟｯﾀｰﾅ･ｽｯﾀ)で記述されている。呼吸が長ければ長いと感じ、短ければ短いと感じる。

修行者はまた、呼吸に伴う絶え間ない変化、そしてマインドフルネスの発生と消滅に気づくようになる。この気づきは、因果関係や他の仏教の教えについての考察を伴い、苦 (梵･巴: ﾄﾞｩｯｶ)、無我 (むが、巴: ｱﾅｯﾀｰ、梵: ｱﾅｰﾄﾏﾝ)、無常 (むじょう、巴: ｱﾆｯﾁｬ、梵: ｱﾆﾄﾔ) を洞察することにつながる。この3つの性質が理解できたとき、反省は収まり、気づきのプロセスが加速され、必ずしも特定せずとも全般的な現象に注目するようになる。

宗派によっては、サマタとヴィパッサナーを一緒に修行すると、涅槃 (ねはん、梵: ﾆﾙｳﾞｧｰﾅ) の達成を含むさまざまな精神力と智慧 (巴:アビニャー 参照6) が得られるが、ヴィパッサナーのみの修行では、涅槃の達成はできるが他の精神力と知識は得られないと指摘されている。
