Vipassana is the quintessence of teachings of the Buddha. Venerable Ledi Sayadaw was an invaluable link in the chain of teachers that preserved Vipassana in its pristine purity in Myanmar. The writings of this great meditation master and Abhidhamma scholar are not easily available today. Therefore Vipassana Research Institute is now publishing The Manual of Dhamma, which is a collection of English translation of the Venerable Sayadaw's writings. The reader will find a great treasure of information as well as inspiring guidance for the practice of Dhamma in these texts.
