Inner Strength & Parting Gifts – Talks by Ajaan Lee Dhammadharo consists of sixteen talks reconstructed by one of his followers—a nun, Arun Abhiva, —based her own on notes. With a few exceptions—the talks are dated 1958 and 1959, which were printed after Ajaan Lee’s death—all were checked and approved by Ajaan Lee and printed in a volume entitled The Way to Practice Insight Meditation, Collected from Four Years’ Sermons, or Four Years’ Sermons for short. The book runs to more than 600 pages in the Thai original, the first half consisting of aphorisms and short passages, the second half of reconstructions, some relatively fragmentary, others more complete. The selection here consists of all the reconstructions in Four Years’ Sermons that deal directly with breath meditation techniques, plus several passages dealing with the values underlying its practice.
