Inspiring Virtues

A renowned meditation teacher recalls his multi-decade interactions with Ven. Ñāṇavimala, marveling at the monk’s profound energy, loving-kindness, patience, and equanimity. Relying solely on a barefoot alms-round and carrying only minimal requisites, Ven. Ñāṇavimala consistently rejected comfortable accommodations and worldly talk. His strict adherence to ancient monastic standards, absolute humility, and total lack of conceit profoundly elevated the author’s faith, leaving an indelible impression of a truly liberated mind.
