The Manual of Insight and The Noble Eightfold Path and its Factors Explained
Vipassana Dipani and Magganga Dipani
by Ledi Sayadaw
Knowing that reliable information on the practice of insight meditation was much needed by practitioners in the West, Ledi Sayadaw wrote the The Manual of Insight. He covers many topics, such as the distortions of perceptions, the Noble Truths, the higher knowledges, Nibbana, and others, fully expounded and furnished with brief descriptions, some of which are drawn from the Pali texts, while others are the product of Ledi Sayadaw’s own teachings.
The second manual, The Noble Eightfold Path and its Factors Explained, was written by Ledi Sayadaw in Burmese and later translated into English by U Saw Tun Teik. It contains a clear explanation of all the path-factors. This excellent, concise manual has only recently come back into print in conjunction with The Manual of Insight, in this welcome edition by Pariyatti Publishing.

A Meditator’s Handbook
by Bill Crecelius
Bill Crecelius is an experienced Vipassana Teacher who was one of Goenkaji’s earliest Western students. He has written a straightforward, practical guide for those who seek to establish themselves in Vipassana meditation. Drawing on his own long experience in the practice, A Meditator’s Handbook is full of encouragement, homely examples and vivid illustrations. It contains a wealth of sound friendly advice. It is recommended for any Vipassana meditator, and especially for those who have just started practicing. ~ Patrick Given-Wilson, Vipassana Teacher, Australia
Excerpt from the book:
I have learned how to keep my practice together and make it grow. I would like to share this with you. First as a single man living in an area with no other meditators, then living in an area with many other Vipassana meditator friends and finally as a married man with a Dhamma partner, I adapted my life to one of living in the Dhamma.
The Art of Dying
A thoughtful look at the greatest challenge facing each of us: death, whether our own or a loved one’s.
Weaving together material from many sources, this collection provides a context for understanding death and experiencing it with awareness and equanimity. Here are passages from the Pali texts, writings of S.N. Goenka, poems, theoretical expositions, and questions and answers.
But perhaps the most compelling parts are the sections by or about meditators confronting the end of life. With humility, tenderness and often a smile, they learn to accept their own impermanence, suffering and non-self. Their courage and compassion give every Vipassana meditator an example to which we can aspire.
