Fruit of Karma

Arriving at Ambhavan Monastery, I was swept into a world once serene and alive with purpose, a place where graceful temples stood in repose among groves of swaying palms and mango trees, and white-clad meditators moved in introspection along wide, well shaded walkways lined with flowering trees. Ambhavan's tranquility, as soon as I learned, was as much a reflection of its abbot's personality as was the intensity with which the monks, nuns and lay devotees pursued the rigorous programme of meditation. It was a delightful place in which to stay, and to meditate. Fruit of Karma does not end here with this book. Dr. Suchitra is busily writing further volumes, drawn from the eighteen years that Ven. Phra Khru Charoen has been teaching vipassana meditation and solving disciples' problems. Later volumes also have much more to explain about vipassana meditation. But, in the present work, the readers will find both a practical guide to the fundamental procedure of meditation, and a delightful tale of ambitions and anger, of fervent hopes and frustrated dreams, reaching fulfillment in the still pool of understanding.
