Buddhism: The Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha

The Path of Freedom (Vimuttimagga)

by Upatissa · N. R. M. Ehara, Soma Thera & Kheminda Thera (trans.)

An English translation, from the surviving sixth-century Chinese version, of an early Buddhist manual of the path attributed to Upatissa. Its structure closely parallels Buddhaghosa's Visuddhimagga, making it important for understanding the background of that work.
