This book contains all the known published and unpublished essays by S. Bodhesako.

Pali and English translation of key passages from the Sutta Nipāta by the late hermit monk Ñāṇadīpa Mahāthera.

A collection of essays describing the structure of experience and a lengthy correspondence mirroring the efforts to understand the meaning of Dhamma.

A collection of essays focussing on the arising of right view. Because only with the right understanding can there be anything that deserves to be called ‘Buddhist meditation’.

An attempt to compile all that is known about Ñāṇavīra’s life and thought. The book retells stories from after his death, about controversies, lost or burned letters, his surviving legacy, and the growth of interest in these writings till the present time. — Second, revised & updated edition!

A pastiche of letters about a man and his search for meaning; what he may have found, or ghosts of what may be found.

Getting Off is Samanera Bodhesako’s masterful narrative of his early years as a Buddhist novice and monk.

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 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 to Sister Vajirā documents the correspondence of the Ven. Ñāṇavīra Thera with Sister Vajirā (Hannelore Wolf, 1928-1991) between November 1961 and January 1962.

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 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.
