The Path of PurificationRecommendations
About the book
The Visuddhimagga is a methodical investigation and consolidation of Buddhist theory and meditation technique. It is one of Buddhism's core books. The Buddha's diverse teachings, which may be found throughout the Pali canon, are structured into a clear, comprehensive route that leads to nibbana, or perfect cleansing. This new translation, which was originally written in the fifth century, gives English speakers new insights on this fundamental work. Full and extensive instructions on 40 themes of concentration meditation, an elaborate overview of Buddhist Abhidhamma philosophy, and precise descriptions of the stages of insight culminating in final liberation are provided throughout this text.
