Also included are some of the benefits and eventual goals of the practice. Everything is here in detail to get the meditator on his way to experiencing awakening in this very life.For more than 40 years Bhante Vimalaramsi researched and practiced many methods without finding any real satisfaction. He went back to the earliest Buddhist teachings using the Majjhima Nikaya and found what he was seeking. He found a step that had been left out!Bhante's method of "The 6Rs", is the key to the step he found. This is the path to the cessation of craving and the elimination of Ignorance.Bhante Vimalaramsi has been a monk since 1986 and practiced with many of the major Buddhist teachers in Asia. He now teaches all over the world and is the abbot of the Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center near St. Louis, Mo, USA. He is the US representative to the World Buddhist Summit.
