Pārami, Ways to Cross Life’s Floods. Pārami – ‘perfections,’ or transcendent virtues – are daily life practices that give the mind a firm ground in Dhamma. Comprising simple qualities like patience, generosity and truthfulness, they can be skilfully applied to the ‘flash-points’ in the day in order to steer the mind out of samsaric currents and on towards peace, clarity and nibbāna. If your finger still has the strength to do so, click here to get the guidance: Pāramī
Rude Awakenings. Rude Awakenings records a journey by Ajahn Sucitto and Nick Scott. We spent six months together retracing the Buddha’s footsteps in India, along with many detours and sidetracks both physical and psychological. The alternating versions of reality, sometimes comical, sometimes poignant, present a vision of each human being’s wandering through life. Save yourself the cost of a visa and an airplane ticket (plus considerable sweat) and do the pilgrimage from your chair….Pilgrimage 1
Great Patient One. This book is the sequel to Rude Awakenings. It continues recording our seven hundred mile journey on foot, and our years of memories, recollections and attitudes as we rambled and struggled together in the Middle Land of the Buddha, and on via a long loop into Nepal and the Himalayas. The arduous nature of the pilgrimage, both physically and psychologically, gives the reader a taste of Dhamma ‘off the cushion and on the road’.

The Dawn of the Dhamma. This long out-of-print illustrated ( and somewhat poetic) commentary on the Buddha’s first teaching, once existed in HTML format, but it disappeared at the last website update. I hope to resurrect it in some form or another in due course.
