Re: Book about jhana
Hey, guys. I found a book by David Johnson (a student of Bhante Vimalaramsi) called 'The Path to Nibbana'. Has anyone ever read this book?

Book about jhana
Hey, guys.
I am looking for a book about the eighth step of the Noble Eightfold Path (Right Concentration). I am in doubt between two books.
Who Is My Self? - Ayya Khema
Right Concentration - Leigh Brasington
Which would you recommend?

Re: Theravada for Beginner
Hey, guys. I'm going to start studying the suttas. A good book is In The Buddha's Words by Bhikkhu Bodhi, but it is not recommended for beginners. Do you think Glenn Wallis's book (Basic Teachings of the Buddha) is a good book to read before Bhikkhu Bodhi's book?

Theravada for Beginner
Hello guys.
I am a beginner in Theravada. How should I start? Should I read the sutras? Which sutras are recommended for beginners? I was interested in the Satipatthana Sutra. Can I start with it? I want to buy the book Transformation and Healing by Thich Nhat Hanh. What do you think?
Thanks.
