He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Thank you Ben...much obliged...
Re: Locating a paperback Visuddhimagga
Does anyone have a spare copy to send to the venerable? Maybe that would be helpful?
Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

Re: Locating a paperback Visuddhimagga
You're very kind Manapa, thank you...but I'm more or less a wanderer and the bulk and weight of the hardcover is a bit much to carry...I rip half the bristles out of my toothbrush (amongst other things) to lessen the 'load'...
The cost is covered and it was just a matter of finding a source to obtain it...I didn't mean to appear 'fishing' in my query...
Be well...

Re: Locating a paperback Visuddhimagga
I didn't think you were fishing and almost sent you a PM offering mine, I had to give it a dust the other day as I noticed it had gained a decent amount of dust from the never reading it since I got it (I think I have opend it 3 times and once was because I accidently droped it)

Re: Locating a paperback Visuddhimagga
The Visuddhimagga reminds me a lot of the Abhidhamma. Maybe because of all the analysis or maybe because it is a great cure to insomnia.Manapa wrote: I noticed it had gained a decent amount of dust from the never reading it since I got it (I think I have opend it 3 times and once was because I accidently droped it)

Re: Locating a paperback Visuddhimagga
The Bhumibalobhikkhu Institute (situated at Wat Saket, Bangkok) has published a paperback edition (in 3 volumes) in Pali, Thai script. They also have published the Commentary and the Subcommentary (3 volumes each). The commentaries have the same paragraph numberings as the main text, and commented words are underlined, so that it is very convenient to navigate in the volumes and use these together.appicchato wrote:Greetings,
