T RANSLATOR ’ S I NTRODUCTION

This book ‘Wisdom Develops Samādhi’ is one of the few books written

by Ācariya Mahā Boowa ( Bhikkhu Ñāṇasampanno ) who is now the abbot

of Baan Taad Forest Monastery, which is situated in the country-side

close to the village where he was born and brought up. When he was

old enough he ordained as a monk and some while afterwards he went

away to find a meditation teacher. He was directed towards the Vener-

able Ācariya Mun ( Bhūridatta Thera ) and Ācariya Mahā Boowa has said

that as soon he met Ācariya Mun, he knew that Ācariya Mun was his

teacher. He learnt and practised under the guidance of Ācariya Mun

for nine years until Ācariya Mun died at the age of eighty years, after

which Ācariya Mahā Boowa practised the way on his own in the hills

and forests of Thailand. He then wandered throughout the country,

going to nearly every province until he was offered land by supporters

near his home village to build a forest monastery. Since then, he settled

down and has lived there since.

Many words in ‘Wisdom Develops Samādhi’ have been left in Pāli be-

cause there is often no adequate translation in English; it is hoped the

reader will forgive any difficulties that this may make, but it is felt

better that the reader should not-understand rather than mis-under-

stand. However, a fairly comprehensive glossary has been included at

the back, which should cover all the Pāli words that are not actually

explained in the text.

It is hoped that this book will bring the Dhamma to many people

and that it will help people to realise that the living Dhamma is still

extant and is not just a thing of the distant past or of the distant future

when the next Buddha comes.

May all who read this book gain from it that which will aid them

towards the supreme happiness of Nibbāna .
