Moving Dhamma Volume 2: More Explanations of Buddhist Suttas By Bhante V.
Sit and listen as Bhante reads the suttas from the Majjhima Nikāya and explains the inner workings of the deepest Buddha's teachings. This book is a continuation from his original compilations of suttas, Moving Dhamma Volume 1. He continues to lay out the Buddha's path through an in-depth look at the suttas themselves. Bhante Vimalaramsi teaches Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation TWIM. This is a practice using Lovingkindness (Metta) as the doorway to enter Nibbana through the 'Brahma Viharas'. It's a complex yet easily practiced technique that is as close to the Buddha's teachings that can be found. Bhante has carefully researched the original teachings and has found steps left out in today's Buddhist practices. Perhaps you have hit a wall in your meditation - these talks will give you a new way to look at your practice, and see how it can more closely match the teachings of the earliest texts.

Sadhu! I am eternally grateful to this author for giving me a gift I didn't know I needed.
What's so special about Bhante Vimalaramsi and is his works is that they included a small puzzle piece to my meditation that I didn't know I was missing. As someone who has practiced meditation for over half a decade now. Reading something that would change my view on its head is something I didn't expect was possible.
It was Bhante Vimalaramsi's 6 step-method of getting rid of craving (the nivaranas), especially the steps of relaxing and re-smiling. The first time I read them I had a eureka moment, I had to sit down for meditation almost immediately. The 6Rs helped me quickly progress through the rupa jhanas and beyond in a fairly short time. This has done wonders for my understanding of dhamma, Bhante's method is so wonderful. This went so fast I was compelled to book myself a retreat with him just to learn more and get to the deepest end of this dhamma.
