Not directly related to Early Buddhist Texts which is why I’m posting in the watercooler. Can we get a collection of later texts from other traditions on mindfulness/meditation?
Pātañjalayogaśāstra — sāṃkhya/classical-yoga tradition.

The Essentials of Buddhist Meditation by Shramana Zhiyi
Master Zhiyi is the Tiantai Mountain meditation master, exegete, and teachings-school founder. His Essentials for Practicing Calming-and-Insight and Dhyana Meditation is a calming-and-insight (samatha-vipasyana) meditation manual deeply rooted in the early Indian Buddhist meditation tradition. It offers probably what is the most reliable, comprehensive, and practically-useful Buddhist meditation instruction currently available in English.

The Six Dharma Gates to the Sublime by Shramana Zhiyi
This classic, also by Master Zhiyi, serves as an ideal companion volume to The Essentials of Buddhist Meditation. It explains the six practices crucial to success in traditional Indian Buddhist breath (anapana) and calming-and-insight (samatha-vipasyana) meditation.
Correctly implemented, these six “gates” lead the practitioner to realize the third of the four truths (cessation), of which the “sublimity” referenced in the title is one of the four canonically-described practice aspects.
