[Buddha-l] Nanavira Thera

[Path Press Administration]

Greetings Everybody,

Thank you for the forum.
Here I would like to suggest a good Buddhist website: www.nanavira.org.

There is written description:

The aim of this web site is to make more widely available the writings
of the late Ven. Ñānavīra Thera which, though of extraordinary
quality
and depth, do not -- for different reasons -- attract any of the
established Budddhist publishers. It is presented as a dhammadāna
(gift of Dhamma) and with a deep sense of gratitude by individuals
whose lives were significantly affected by an encounter with these
writings, in the hope that others, too, might appreciate the
right-view guidance which is offered therein. It cannot be expected
that this material, which poses a clear challenge to the mainstream
version of Buddhism, will gain any great popularity among the majority
of Buddhists -- Eastern or Western -- but at least it can suggest an
alternative approach to the Buddha's original Teaching, and perhaps
serve as a useful eye-opener for those seeking an understanding of its
more fundamental principles. It can also communicate the attitude of
earnestness towards Dhamma practice, which is regarded not merely as a
matter of choice but rather an existential necessity. For without this
basic attitude, the practice of Buddhist meditation will remain in the
worldly sphere and will never be able to bear the fruits of noble
insight leading to liberation from the 'world'.

You might like to visit it.

Take care,
