Clearing the Path
(1960-1965)
Clearing the Path contains the text of Ñāṇavīra's revised Notes on Dhamma (1960-1965) together with 149 letters of varying lengths written by Ñāṇavīra to nine correspondents, which serve (as the author himself stated) as a commentary on the Notes. The texts are scrupulously edited, extensively annotated and cross-referenced by means of a comprehensive index.
Seeking the Path
Early Writings (1954-1960) & Marginalia
Seeking the Path consists of Ñāṇavīra's extensive correspondence with Ñaṇamoli Thera from 1954-1959. These letters shed considerable light on the relations between the two men and provide a wealth of material on the formation of Ñāṇavīra's thought prior to his 'stream entry'. The remainder of the volume includes two early essays (Nibbana and Anatta and Sketch for a Proof of Rebirth) as well as notes from a Commonplace Book and Marginalia from books owned by Ñāṇavīra.
The Letters of Sister Vajirā
The Letters to Sister Vajirā documents the correspondence of the Ven. Ñāṇavīra Thera with Sister Vajirā (Hannelore Wolf, 1928-1991) between November 1961 and January 1962.
Notes on Dhamma
(1960-1965)
The principal aim of these Notes on Dhamma is to point out certain current misinterpretations, mostly traditional, of the Pali Suttas, and to offer in their place something certainly less easy but perhaps also less inadequate.

Die Fährte der Wahrheit
Drei buddhistische Essays
Hier werden zum ersten Mal Werke eines der wichtigsten Gegenwartsautoren des Theravada-Buddhismus in deutscher Sprache vorgestellt. Modern in Sprache und Herangehensweise, aber dennoch ganz auf der Grundlage der Buddhalehre wie sie im Palikanon überliefert ist, wird die große Daseinsfrage aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln beleuchtet.
Notizen zu Dhamma
und andere Schriften
Die Notizen versuchen, eine intellektuelle Grundlage für das Verständnis der Suttas zu schaffen, ohne dabei saddhâ (Vertrauen) preiszugeben. Sie wurden zu dem Zweck geschrieben, eine ganze Menge toter Materie wegzuräumen, die die Suttas erstickt.
Thinker’s Notebook
Posthumous Papers of a Buddhist Monk
Collected posthumous papers of the English monk-scholar Ñanamoli, who counts as one of the foremost translators of Pali Buddhist texts into English. Besides being a gifted translator Ñanamoli was also a gifted thinker, philosopher, and poet.
A Pali-English Glossary of Buddhist Technical Terms
To date this glossary has existed only in the form of a few rough type-scripts, but is has now been issued by the BPS in a printed edition to assist a wider circle of scholars and students of Pali Buddhism.
