It includes (in the printed version only) beautiful colour illustrations of the significant sacred places in the life of the Buddha and helps the reader to visualize the spirituality and exquisite beauty of these places.

This book is addressed to advanced students of the Dhamma. The book is divided into two sections. The first section explains why we should practise the Dhamma with a view to Nibbaana. It explains how rare is the appearance of a Buddha and how very fortunate we are to be born at a time when the teachings of a Buddha are available. The book brings to light the fact that only a Supreme Buddha can show us the path to the total destruction of suffering. It is designed to encourage us to strive on with diligence and concentrated, continuous effort. The second section concentrates on how one practises the Dhamma with a view to Nibbaana. Once we have realized the urgency of practising the Dhamma, it is important to know how to practise the Dhamma with a view to Nibbaana. This book introduces the reader to the practise of generosity, morality, and mediation (Samatha and Vipassanaa), as taught by the Buddha.

The Madhupindika sutta is a profound and complex discourse that introduces the reader to an accurate understanding of the Buddha's teaching on mental proliferations. It addresses how the pure mind (citta) of name and form that arises in the sense organs on contact, is defiled in the faculty of the mind resulting in corrupted perception, concepts, fabrications and mental proliferation. It also addresses how this process and mental proliferation can be restrained and prevented using present moment awareness (mindfulness) and wise reflection.

Dhatuvibhanga Sutta is addressed to Vipassana yogis. It takes you on a fascinating journey into the friendship between two kings of India at the time of the Buddha - King Bimbisara of Rajagaha and King Pukkusati of Takksila. It also takes you on the spiritual journey of the Monk Pukkusati, who was accomplished in Samatha Meditation and the mental absorptions of form (Rupa Jhana) when he met the Buddha. The Blessed One skillfully directs the monk Pukkusati and molds his mind from Samatha meditation to Vipassana meditation. The Dhatuvibhanga sutta is a profound and complex discourse that introduces the reader to the four foundations of wisdom, truth, relinquishment, and calm/equanimity in just one short discourse which is parallel to the spiritual effects or powers of the Satipatthana sutta.
