- Forest
Meditations: The Verses of the Arahant Talaputa Thera.
- Translated
from the Pali, with some reflections, by Bhikkhu Khantipalo (Buddhist
Publication Society "Wheel" Nos. 243-244). These eloquent verses, from the
Theragatha, chronicle the many "conversations" Talaputa, a contemporary of
the Buddha, had with his own mind during the course of his practice. As
these verses reveal, while he was still a layperson Talaputa yearned
deeply for a life more in harmony with Dhamma; following his ordination
his stern admonishments of his unruly mind ultimately led him to his
ultimate goal: final liberation. The translator's easy conversational
commentary sheds light on these verses from several different angles, and
paints Talaputa as an exemplar of the ancient forest meditation tradition
that still lives today.
