Description

"The Progress of Insight" charts the entire Way of Mindfulness up to its culmination. The emphasis is here on the advanced stages of the path which show their distinctive features in great clarity, being here illustrated by the actual meditative practice. Explanatory notes have been added by the Translator. The original, written in the Pali language in a style of classic lucidity, is a remarkable contribution to modern pali literature and has, therefore, been included in this volume. --inside front cover.
