Hello friends,

I've only just begun my studies of Pali, and looking at the size of
the canon is rather overwhelming, millions of words of text. I'm
simultaneously learning about Buddhism, but I've been practicing
meditation for some time now.

I'm interested in trying to read some original Pali about meditation,
but I really have no idea how our where to find them among the thicket
of text.

Is there a section of the canon which is most focused on approaching
meditation?

I realize that it may be hard to interpret the Pali texts as a
"how-to" guide (to get started I'm relying on a lot of works in
English as well as dhamma talks), but I'm motivated to try to
investigate some of the texts.

Any suggestions?

With metta,
Pat

PS. I'm relying on the Unicode-encoded version of the canon from
