This classic anthology from the Pali Canon charts the entire course of spiritual development as prescribed in the most ancient Buddhist texts. Drawing upon the Buddha's own words from the Sutta Pitaka, the compiler has arranged them in accordance with two overlapping schemes of practice: the threefold training in virtue, concentration, and wisdom, and the seven stages of purification. The long chapter on concentration provides sutta sources for all the forty classical subjects of meditation, while the chapter on wisdom cites texts relating to the development of insight.
A detailed treatment of the three universal qualities enunciated in Buddhism.. besides it contains an analysis of the Buddhist concept of mind.. enabling the reader to acquire a fair knowledge of what these characteristics are.
This treatise by the great Burmese scholar-monk analyzes the thirty-seven modes of practice in which the Buddha summed up the way to enlightenment. It offers not only a wealth of information on the Dhamma but also a forcefully reasoned and stirring appeal to earnest endeavor toward the goal.
