LIGHT OF WISDOM - PA AUK TAWYA SAYADAW

PA AUK TAWYA SAYADAW

COMPILER’S PREFACE
Originally the intention was to compile only two recorded Dhamma talks of Venerable Pa Auk Tawya Sayadaw given in Yangon in May’95: one was on Dhàtu Kammaññhàna and the other was on Asubha Bhavana. However due to some other circumstances a selection was later also made among other recorded Dhamma talks already available in the Pa Auk monastery. As it turns out, the compilation here is now from about 20 recorded talks instead of only 2. Among these tapes some are fully translated while others are excerpts only.

The tapes translated are Dhamma talks on the MahaGopalaka Sutta (from tape No. 12 – 22, 24, 28, 29); and a talk on the ânàpànasati Sutta (tape No. 24). Talks that are either partially translated or excerpts only are from Sunita Thera Apadana (tape No. 2), Hatthipàla Jataka (tape No. 2), Natha Sutta (tape No. 1), ânàpànasati Sutta (tape No. 2) and Assaji Sutta (tape No. 2). The translation is mostly done by Venerable Candima. Some are also done by Venerable Nanagavesaka.
