Does anyone have a good resource for the "Pa-Auk Meditation System?" I'm not finding many resources. Any quick summary or more detailed examination out there?
Thanks!

Pa-Auk Tawya Sayadaw

Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.
- Lokavipatti Sutta
Stuff I write about things.

Shaila Catherine's books are an excellent resource on his method.
Focussed and fearless is a good Intro, Wisdom Deep and Wide if you really want to go into it in detail.
"Whenever we feel that we are definitely right, so much so that we refuse to open up to anything or anybody else, right there we are wrong. It becomes wrong view. When suffering arises, where does it arise from? The cause is wrong view, the fruit of that being suffering. If it was right view it wouldn't cause suffering." - Ajahn Chah
"Remember you dont meditate to get anything, but to get rid of things. We do it, not with desire, but with letting go. If you want anything, you wont find it." - Ajahn Chah

It's my understanding she wrote those books, as sort of how-to guidebooks to be used on retreat, at the request of Pa-Auk. So yea, Shaila's books are probably your best bet.

I haven't finished Wisdom Wide and Deep, but I'm very impressed with what I've read so far. Shaila has extensive teaching expreience and knowledge, and one of the delights of that book is the extended referencing of material back to the suttas.
It's also written as a "multi level" document, with advice for everyday life practice as well as practices that will most likely require retreats to master.
