Buddho

People throughout the world are familiar with the “Buddho” mantra recited in tranquil meditation, but very few truly know the real Buddho. Having already successfully navigated the path to enlightenment himself, Venerable Ācariya Thoon Khippapañño lays out the fundamental dos and don’ts of Dhamma practice in this book so that practitioners may discern the true path of practice that will lead to Buddho within this lifetime.

“There are those who wrongly believe that by just reciting the word ‘Buddho’ they are able to rid defilements and cravings (kilesa) from their minds, then expect wisdom to arise which will enable them to realize how things really are (the Truth). However, just reciting repetitiously the parikamma word “Buddho” does not make one reach purity of mind (citta) and gain Noble Fruitions or Nibbāna.”
