Patipada: Venerable Ācariya Mun's Path of Practice Ajaan Maha Boowa Nanasampanno

The Companion Volume to Venerable Acariya Mun's: A Spiritual Biography

In this book, Ajaan Mahā Boowa describes in detail the lifestyle and training practices of Ajaan Mun and his disciples. It is a way of life rooted in the Buddhist ideal of the wandering monk who, having renounced the world and gone forth from the household, dresses in robes made from discarded cloth, depends on alms for a living and takes the forest as his dwelling place. The emphasis is on an austere meditative lifestyle that is directed toward uprooting every aspect of greed, hatred, and delusion from the heart.
