The path

From the foundations, through the jhanas and the formless realms, to cessation and awakening. Each place on the path holds the talks that speak to it. Read at any point along it.

  1. Laying the foundation

    Refuge and precepts, the 6R's, and meeting the hindrances when the practice begins.

  2. The four jhanas

    Joy, noble silence, happiness and equanimity, usually taught together as one stretch of the path.

  3. The formless realms

    From infinite space to neither-perception-nor-non-perception, each met with a brahmavihara.

  4. Cessation

    The cessation of perception and feeling, and dependent origination seen.

  5. Awakening

    Stream entry, once-returner, non-returner and arahant.

Threads along the whole path

Forgiveness, daily life, dependent origination as study, the sutta series and guided meditations, to read beside any part of the path.
