The Way Forward

(Foreward to The Way Forward)

The book The Way Forward is a collection of Luang Por Baen’s Dhamma talks on practice and training, which he has offered with great vigor and goodwill to his faithful disciples. In turn they have happily put their entire lives into his care.**

We, his students, have requested permission to print The Way Forward to honor the occasion of Luang Por’s eightieth birthday. Our hope is that the current generation, and future generations, will get the opportunity to touch the true principles of Dhamma which Luang Por has taught about in detail for over thirty years.

May this book be a reminder of the Thai practice tradition. May it be a guid for those people whose aim is to be a true samana, and may it aid in the study and mastery of the Buddhist training standards so that they persist for a long time. This is our humble offering to the world, in response to Luang Por Baen’s immense kindness.
