Source of the Stories

These storybooks cover the remarkable life and rigorous spiritual practice of Venerable Ñāṇavimala, a German-born monk who became a paragon of asceticism in Sri Lanka. Through personal recollections from fellow monastics and lay disciples, the texts describe his nomadic lifestyle, characterized by decades of barefoot wandering and a total rejection of worldly comforts. The narratives emphasize his unwavering mindfulness, strict adherence to monastic discipline, and profound ability to guide others through scriptural wisdom and compassionate counsel. Witnesses highlight his supernatural composure during physical illness and his success in achieving a state of complete internal independence. These accounts present him as a modern-day embodiment of the Buddha’s earliest disciples, illustrating a journey of radical renunciation and mental liberation.
