There are fi ve objectives. Three were established at the conference and the last two were added later. 1. To support the Sangha Body’s Provincial Meditation Centers to administer Buddhist Education effectively, 2. To cooperate with Provincial Meditation Centers to teach meditation to the same high standard for all people at all levels, 3. To assist Provincial Meditation Centers with academic scholarship. 4. To cooperate with the Chiefs of the Sangha Regions and Directors of the Provincial Meditation Centers to raise academic training techniques to the same high standard. 5. To support the Sangha in stabilizing, protecting and developing Buddhism under the rules of the Discipline, the Law and the Sangha Rules. The committee members agreed to publish this Study Guide for Right Practice of the Three Trainings, based on Lord Buddha’s Four Foundations of Mindfulness and the Commentaries from the Path of Purifi cation (Visuddhimagga), plus the Three Aspects of Nibbāna, which is an Appendix. This proposal was presented to the conference, led by Somdej Phra Maha Rajamangkalajahn, and it was agreed to publish this book and distribute it to all Meditation Centers. The book has been translated and edited by Phra Khru Baitika Dr. Barton Yanathiro, Phra Maha Natpakanan Gunanggaro, and Mr. William Webb of the Wat Luang Phor Sodh Buddhist Meditation Institute (BMI) and Mr. Potprecha Cholvijarn.
