The Secret Teachings of Theravāda

Posted:*02 Aug 2018

If there was a book that had all of the Secret Teachings
of Theravāda,*
The Path of Purification
(The Visuddhimagga)*
would be that book.

It explains all the good stuff, like
how to attain samādhi concentration;
how to attain psychic powers
including knowing and seeing the past lives.

Lastly,
it includes the stages of insight and wisdom
that one needs to reach Nibbāna.

Books do not get more complete than this.

You can read a free and condensed version
called*Knowing and Seeing*
by The Most Venerable Pa-Auk Sayadawgyi
who teaches this exact method
based on The Path of Purification.

You can find*The Path to Purification*
on*Amazon*
or download this*free pdf link here .

If you would like to know more
about mindfulness of breathing.
Bhikkhu Nyanamoli wrote a small book
which contains information
from both the Visuddhimagga and Vimuttimagga.

It can be found here
at*this free web link:*
or in book format at*this amazon link

Basically, there are no secrets in Theravāda.*

There are only texts that are not very well known (until now).*

You should never have to pay
for such teachings and be warned if someone asks you to pay for such teachings.*

All of the content in the book*
Knowing and Seeing*
can be learned at Pa-Auk Meditation Centres.*
There is no charge at these centres,
even for food and lodging.*
Best of luck and let me know how things go.

Below is a*wikipedia excerpt*of The Path of Purification.

⚘⚘⚘

The*Visuddhimagga*
(Pali; English:*The Path of Purification),
is the ‘great treatise’
on*Theravada*Buddhist*doctrine
written by*Buddhaghosa*
approximately in the 5th Century in*Sri Lanka.

It is a comprehensive manual
condensing and systematizing
the theoretical and practical teachings
of*Gautama Buddha*
as they were understood by the elders
of the*Mahavihara*Monastery in*Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

It is described as
“the hub of a complete and coherent method
of exegesis of the Tipitaka,
using the ‘Abhidhamma method’ as it is called.

And it sets out detailed practical instructions
for developing purification of mind.

It is considered the most important
Theravada text outside of the*Tipitaka*canon of scriptures.

The*Visuddhimagga’s structure
is based on the*Ratha-vinita Sutta*
(“Relay Chariots Discourse,”*MN*24),
which describes the progression
from the purity of discipline
to the final destination of*nibbana*in seven steps.

The*Visuddhimagga’s material
also strongly resembles the material
found in an earlier treatise called
the*Vimuttimagga*(c. 1st or 2nd century).
