Rooted in the vipassana teachings of Anagarika Munindra, this detailed guide maps the Buddhist meditator's journey toward stream entry, the first stage of enlightenment. Born into a Bengali Buddhist family in 1915, Anagarika Munindra became a beloved and influential Buddhist meditation teacher who contributed significantly to the dawn of Western Buddhism and the vipassana meditation movement. In the 1960s and 1970s, he taught many Western students--including Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and Jack Kornfield--who would go on to become highly esteemed teachers in their own right. Among these early Western students was Uffe Damborg, a Dane who lived with Munindra-Ji in Bodh Gaya, India, for six years. Here, Damborg distills everything he learned from Munindra-ji--and the forty-plus years he subsequently spent studying, practicing, and teaching Buddhism--to present the ancient path of Theravada Buddhism in modern language. Written for practitioners of vipassana meditation, Tracing the Untraceable Buddha unpacks core Buddhist teachings on non-self, karma, perception, ethics, and the four noble truths not as ideas to be intellectually understood, but as meditative insights to be cultivated as one approaches the Buddhist goal of stream entry, a profound shift in consciousness that orients one's life toward nibbana, or enlightenment. With reflections on Damborg's formative years with Munindra-ji, whose teaching style emphasized direct experience over dogma, this uniquely personal work becomes a lens through which meditators can explore their own spiritual paths.
