Vol. 14 No. 4: Contemplation and Non-Doing: Solitude, Absorption and Letting-be as Structural Principles of Contemplative Religious Practice

Guest Editor: Dylan Esler

This special issue of Entangled Religions explores the theme of non-doing in the context of contemplative praxis and examines this topic comparatively from the viewpoints of a number of religious traditions. The articles published in this special issue were initially presented as papers at a workshop organized in September 2021 as part of the “Dzogchen” research project. The project was sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research from 2019 to 2022 and was based at the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (https://ceres.rub.de/en/research/projects/dzogchen/).
