Phra Mahã Dr. Vijjnand Mahãpuñño
Since I started teaching this method of meditation in Malaysia, many meditators have been requesting for an explanatory manual they can read and refer to from my very respected master, Ven. Ācharn Dhammadharo Bhikkhu, who taught the method for about 30 years. There has also been a Thai language manual on the subject which has gone through several reprints.
An English language manual was first published by Bhikkhu Nāgasena, an Indian monk, in B.E. 2511 (1968). In B.E. 2525 (1982), as an Upāsaka then, I reprinted the same book with additional details and drawings illustrating the method. These manuals are now out of print and difficult to find.
In order to fulfil the request of meditators who do not understand Thai, this book is therefore, the fifth revised English version. The text is mainly from the recordings of my meditation instructions, and the illustrative drawings (re-illustrated) are from the Thai language text previously referred to, "The One Sole Way".
Any readers who need further clarification about the method, or who would like to discuss any problem he has encountered, is invited to get in touch with me about it. I try to repay the favour of the Buddha, my Ven. Master, my parents, and all the people who supported my life in monkhood, by propagating Buddhism to the best I can.
May all of you who struggle to find the way of peace be able to gain real happiness and the highest bliss Nirvāna. May all beings meet the real path to peace.
