For Subscribers: “Deep Dive Into Vipassana” Ebook

Theravada is the earliest form of institutionalized Buddhism and is still practiced today in Sri Lanka.

In this ebook available exclusively to Lion’s Roar subscribers, you’ll learn the history behind Vipassana and how to practice it with wisdom from Bhante Bodhidhamma, Joseph Goldstein, Bhikkhu Bodhi and more.
