Mangala: Chapter SevenA Peaceful PalaceAjahn AmaroJuly 1, 2009This story is intended to be both a partner to the novel The Pilgrim Kamanita, written by Karl Gjellerup in 1906, and a tale that stands on its own. Mangala is being published here as a ‘serial novel,’ which is to say that it will appear one chapter at a time, on the first day of every month, over the next couple of years. The plan is that, after the entire twenty-six chapters of the story have been released, a PDF file of the complete book will be posted, and available for free download. |

The Island: An Anthology of the Buddha’s Teachings on Nibbāna“If you don’t know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.” ~ Yogi BerraAjahn Pasanno & Ajahn AmaroJune 13, 2009What is presented here is an attempt by Ajahn Pasanno and myself to put together a small compendium of these ‘essence teachings’ of the Buddha, as they appear in the Pali Canon and have been conveyed by the lineages that rely upon them (the Thai forest tradition in particular), in the hope that they will be of benefit to those who rejoice in the liberation of the heart. All the other references that are made herein, whether drawing on Thai forest meditation masters, modern science, classical literature, Northern Buddhism or whatever, are made solely to help illustrate the meaning of the Pali – it is the faith of the editors that the Buddha’s words can speak for themselves and this work has been compiled with that intention. |
