The explanation of avijja, which Venerable Acharn gave, has been recorded in the foregoing paragraphs. As to his explanation of how one gets free from avijja, which he also gave, it was extremely wide and extensive in scope and went right to one’s heart. But I’m afraid it was only practicable to give the gist of what he said, which is suitable for all of us who are still at the stage of learning. If we were to go too deeply into it, we probably would not understand and reading it would be a waste of time and would not bring us the value we should get from it.
Venerable Acharn Mun had no fixed or formal way of teaching. He had no preformed plan, no fixed formula, and no set courses of instruction which were pre-arranged according to a schedule of orderly and progressive teaching of texts, instructions or formal training of body, speech and mind like those institutions in the world which are set up for purposes of training.
