Description: The Manuals of Dhamma is a collection of writings by Venerable Ledi Sayadaw (1846-1923) translated into English. This book is a mixture of detailed analysis, vivid stories, and examples for meditators. Ledi Sayadaw was a leading scholar of his time, revered by his contemporaries and regarded as an authority by Western interpreters of Theravada texts. In a break with the past, he strove to make the entire record of the Buddha's teaching accessible to the general population, not only the Sangha. This English translation of Venerable Sayadaw's writings provides inspiring guidance and valuable information for the practice of Dhamma. -- from publisher
