Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English
Re: Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Re: Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English
I believe you are referring to his book on the jhanas The path to serenity and insight and yes it is a great work!Cittasanto wrote:I have gone through his PHd thesis which was turned into a book and goes by a couple of names (although both escape me now). it is a fascinating read although not a practice manual like Mindfulness in plain English, but well worth the read also. I have a feeling Mindfulness in Plain English is a scaled down version in many respects.
Have a look in the Biblography for it!
and just realised this is off topic to the book being refered to
anyway, do with as you see fit :p

Ven. G's books are well written. I look forward to this one.
Suffering is asking from life what it can never give you.

Re: Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English
Never read any of Bhante G's books but since literally everyone regards him so highly, I guess I'll better check some of his books out..
