About this audiobook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The book serves as a bridge between the traditional teachings of the Buddha outlined in the suttas and my book Knowing and Seeing. It allows practitioners to progress more quickly and deeply through the vipassanā portion of the Buddhist path. #2 The Buddha’s teachings on meditation were made more accessible to meditators through the modern day teachings of the Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw. This book is an offering of those experiences. #3 We want to thank Robert Cusick, who went to Burma and faced the challenges he encountered there so he could bring his enthusiasm for this practice back to share with others. We would also like to thank Guy Armstrong for his support and guidance. #4 The jhānas are a pillar of modern Buddhist practices. They are a difficult practice, but they are a foundational method for purifying the mind. They have been done through the ages as a method for achieving liberation.
