First of all I would like to express my deep appreciation and gratitude to Daniel Ingram for his book Mastering The Core Teachings Of The Buddha.

Second, I have a question: does anyone know anything about book THE TREATISE ON THE METHOD OF VIPASSANA INSIGHT MEDITATION Which can speedily lead to the attainment of Magga-Phala-Nibbana by Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw ?

Hi Yuliya,

I don't know of a book by that exact title. If you're interested in Mahasi Sayadaw's method of vipassana, I would read Practical Insight Meditation. This is Daniel Ingram's favorite dharma book. You can read the full version of the book for free at Google Books...

If I understand what you're looking for, I believe that book has not been completely translated into English yet. The link that Jackson gave is to a chapter from that book (which has been translated). Apparently though the translation is under way. Personally, I look forward to seeing it when it's done.

Hi Jackson,

Thank you for the suggestion and for the link. I will definitely read Practical Insight Meditation.

I was given a translated manuscipt in one of the temples in Mahasi tradition. They are looking for the ways to publish it but didn't publish yet. I feel bad that I am unable to share it now. I have to say that I was unaware of the fact that this book wasn't even published yet. I only realized it now.

how about wave books? maybe they could publish. http://www.geocities.com/wave_books/contactus.htm

in the meantime, wanna scan the book for us? ^_^

I need to talk to my teacher and see what he wants to do. Thank you for the link to wave books. I was hoping that somebody would suggest something. I am going to e-mail them.

Ok, I added 3 files on this page: intro, volume 1 an volume 2 - THE TREATISE ON THE METHOD OF VIPASSANA INSIGHT MEDITATION by Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw
translated in English by U MIN SWE (Min Kyaw Thu). Enjoy!

Sorry, I don't see anything clickable in your post. What is the URL?

It's outside of the post, in "Book reviews", attachments section, on the bottom of the page.

Dear Yuliya, thank you for your efforts, but I am not familiar with .rar files, and do not know how to open the Mahassi volume files. Can someone help me? I'd really appreciate reading the entire Treatise. http://dharmaoverground.wetpaint.com/page/Book+Reviews

After you download and save the files on your computer - In Windows, just right click on the file and choose Extract Files.
It is a rar archive, the file was too large, I had to compress it.

wetpaint has a 2mb limit for attachment so pdf version is too large. I have converted it as rtf which should be usable for mac and pc user

I have attached pdf versions. Volume 1 has been split into two books. So there are 3 files (books) Volume 1 Chapters 1 - 3, Volume 1 Chapter 4 and Volume 2

Thanks for making these available.

[edit] for completeness I have also attached the introduction as a pdf

Author: Yuliya_link

Thank you for converting the files. I don't know how to do it. I will download the .pdf versions for myself too now!

Author: ccasey

I also thank you for converting these files. I will be reviewing, excellent!
