Looking for a book

Post by bodom »

I was hoping someone could help me find the book A Buddhist Way of Mental Training by Ven. Phra Tepvisuddhikavi.

The link to the online version is here: http://mahamakuta.inet.co.th/english/b-way.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I know that this book was published in paperback but have not been able to find a copy online. Thanks!

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.

you could even though you have found this one you are looking for, have it bound or self publish the Internet copy?
if you ever want a book on paper rather than the net or need to, go to Lulu.com it is quite cheep.

But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Seems quite good Manapa, have you used them much before?
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

I have had a stab at seeing how it works and it is all step by step, some small amount of IT knowledge and it is done, I believe it is easier with pdf rather than a word doc
