Series of Talks on Ven. Ñāṇavīra Thera's “Notes on Dhamma”

[pathpress]

New Series of Talks on Ven. Ñāṇavīra Thera's “Notes on Dhamma” will be posted on YouTube at the link below. Ven. Ñāṇamoli Thero is clarifying each individual Note and responding to the questions related to it. This means we can expect one video per Note. Later there might be more recordings in response to further requests for clarification, if so happens.

Why does it go from one to four?

So it's Ñāṇamoli explaining Ñāṇavīra explaining Buddha explaining the way?

You seem to imply that this is a bad thing? How is it any different than any other monk adapting the idiosyncratic teaching methods of their teacher? At least it's being explicitly stated here.

Ven. Nanadipa was quite interested in studying the letters and notes on Dhamma which Nanavira had left behind in his kuti and later made into a book called, Clearing the Path. In these letters to friends he had discussed his dilemma. However at these first meetings with Ven. Nanadipa we did not discuss this topic. It was beyond my understanding at the time to bring up the subject and he did not volunteer to bring it up himself. Ven. Nanadipa did have a vast knowledge of the Pali suttas even at this relatively early stage of his bhikkhu life. His main interest was to integrate his understanding of the Buddhas’ instructions with the correct and diligent practice of meditation. He was single mindedly bent on persuing the life of a reclusive ‘hermit’ monk following the outline and details of the Dhamma-Vinaya of the Buddha.
