The aim of this forum is to reflect on the teachings of the Buddha and writings of Ven. Ñāṇavīra Thera. It is presented by individuals whose lives were significantly affected by an encounter with the teachings, in the hope that others, too, might appreciate the right-view guidance which is offered therein. It suggests an alternative approach to the Buddha's original Teaching, and perhaps serve as a useful eye-opener for those seeking an understanding of its more fundamental principles. It can also communicate the attitude of earnestness towards Dhamma practice, which is regarded not merely as a matter of choice but rather an existential necessity. For without this basic attitude, the practice of Buddhist meditation will remain in the worldly sphere and will never be able to bear the fruits of noble insight leading to liberation from the 'world'.
