U Pandita begins with the basic guidelines of Buddhism and moves on to various practices: those that can be done for one minute a day, those that sweeten and strengthen the mind, those that heal societies and families, and those that lead to liberation. <p/> This book features <b>complete teachings on <i>vipassana</i> or insight meditation</b>, from how to do it; how to refine it; how to deal with difficulties; and how to develop mindfulness, wisdom, patience, and practice itself. A helpful question-and-answers section provides an invaluable resource for newcomers and established practitioners alike. Lastly, both Pali-to-English and English-to-Pali glossaries are included, ensuring that readers easily master the meanings of important terms. <p/> This 2017 edition includes new forewords from Jake Davis and Andrew Scheffer.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sayadaw U Pandita was the abbot of Panditarama Monastery and Meditation Center in Rangoon, Burma.
