Also there is a not so well known form of meditation within theravada buddhism employing concentration on the elements and is known as Kasina practice. It is mentioned in detail in a text called vissudhimagga, a post canonical pali text, also called the Path of Purification.www.accesstoinsight.org There you get a glimse of this "simple" path in all its complicated detail.
