The Only Way for the Realization of Nibbāna

This book is a practical exposition of the path to Nibbāna grounded in the Pāli Canon, commentaries, subcommentaries, and the Visuddhimagga. Pa-Auk Tawya Sayadaw uses the mindfulness-of-breathing section of the Mahā-Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta to demonstrate the relationship between concentration, insight, the Four Noble Truths, and the Noble Eightfold Path. The work emphasizes that mindfulness alone is not treated as an isolated technique; rather, it operates within a complete system involving the abandonment of the five hindrances, attainment of deep concentration, direct knowledge of ultimate reality, contemplation of conditioned phenomena, and realization of the four paths and fruits.
