“An Introduction to Naikan Practice”
CLARK CHILSON
The Japanese word naikan means looking inside or seeing oneself with the mind’s eye, leading to a deeper understanding of what we have received, what have we given, and what difficulties have we caused.
Clark Chilson teaches Buddhist psychology and religious studies at the University of Pittsburgh. He is interested in Buddhist-inspired treatments for mental-health, and particularly on Naikan meditation, as methods for alleviating suffering.
