Maharahathun Wedimaga Osse-Translate By Sunil Wettimuny


First (searchable) english translation version of most popular buddhist book series in Sri Lanka. This book was written based on the experience & teachings of a monk who meditating for years in the deep forests. People believe that he must have attained "Nibbana"- highest spiritual level of the buddhism.



Preface says "Having read the Venerable Monk's writing in the Sunday paper, the growing wish and the impatience for a meeting was deep down within me. Once the purity of intentions grows and if the merit is right, things will take place. And so one summer day the meeting took place in my residence
one-to-one for four fruitful hours. Humbly I undertook to translate the Sinhalese edition knowing the task is no means easy. His decision even before he met me, that I should start the translation was taken as a positive omen.
May this profound, deep Buddha-Dhamma practised and laid down by the Venerable Monk serve all fortunate beings to endeavour the march towards Nibbana.
This is the first ten chapters published and subsequently printed versions will carry ten more chapters each.
I wish this merit passes to every living and non-living being. "
