FOREWORD
THE Instruction in this manual is that given by the VENERABLE P. M.SOBIN NAMTO, our teacher (achan) , a Buddhist monk and meditation teacher from Thailand. Selected portions were chosen from taped conversations with Achan, recorded in an informal atmosphere. An interview section, slightly edited, is provided for meditator as general guidance in the initial phases of meditation pratice. The instruction is in no sense definitive as each meditator’s experience differs; however, similar problems manifest under different guise. Our frustrations, anxieties and conflicts appear to have a common genesis: all spring from the root-base of greed, hatred and confusion.
The material presented in this digest presumes the reader’s acquaintance with the techniques of Vipassana-insight meditation and fundamental knowledge of the Dharma. The text is not highly polished; some repetition is nevitable…but if a glint of the brilliance of the
Crown Jewel of the Dharma
THE WAY OF MINDFULNESS
Is reflected within the mind of the reader these writings will have served their purpose.
