Uncommon Wisdom: Life and Teachings of Ajaan Paññāvaddho

by Silaratano Bhikkhu

Being near Ajaan Paññā, one sensed his palpable inner peace and serenity. His gaze was open, calm, and benevolent, free of conflict, bias or judgement. With his warmth, his wisdom and his compassion, Ajaan Paññā personified the nobility of the teachings. By his personal example, the Dhamma was rendered practical and vibrant with life. Earnest practitioners saw in his exemplary manner and in his freedom from attachments, the special teacher whom they longed to encounter.

Listened to an audiobook version available at forestdhamma.org

One of the best dhamma books available regarding the five khandas. I am truly grateful for coming across Ajaan's teachings. After my first go through, I already foresee myself referring to his definitions and explanations of the five khandas in my future studies. These chapters also make good preparatory dhamma talks for both sitting and walking meditation contemplation.

Sadhu!
