About this group:

DirectKnowledge is the Path with special knowledge and full emancipation. The first direct knowledge is the stream-winner's insight knowledge attainable through the vipassana meditation. The goal of this group is to study together the Buddha's methods for developing direct knowledge and share our experiences with each other.

You are cordially invited to join this Google's discussion group. This Website is set up for Buddhists who seriously want to learn and practice to become Ariyans. Please consider becoming a member to post your contribution on direct knowledge, to discuss the Buddha's Dhamma, and to share your direct experience with us. Thank you very much.
