Pros & Cons

Pros

A very valuable guide for the serious practitioner. Includes information packed appendixes with inserted folio. Great to see a book published as a sturdy hardback fit for the ages.

The burmese monk mahasi sayadaw is legendary in the theravada tradition. There's an amazing english-pali, pali-english glossary that follows.

It takes a skillful teacher to convey material for his/her students. This one is epic and what a bargain at $25.
