Dear friends,

A few years ago, Bhante held an online lecture series on the text Brief Explanations of Meditation Methods by Kumarajiva. Now, thanks to Somaiya Vidyavihar University in Mumbai, his translation and commentary will be published as a book.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Bhante and the University.

The book will be available for order on Amazon at a later date.

The book launch will take place tomorrow at the University—please see the attached flyer.

It is also possible to join online:
