This book is a study on the nature and effects of the Theravada
Buddhist religious experiences of the four supramundane fruits of
the Noble Eightfold Path - the experience of the fruit which is
stream-entry, once returning, non-returning and Arahanthship - with
special focus on the experience of stream-entry.It represents the
first time within Theravada Buddhist studies that a serious textual
study has been combined with a substantial field research. Despite
disciplinary rules which virtually prohibit a monk with higher
ordination from discussing their personal religious experiences,
this book presents seven comprehensive anonymous interviews
conducted mainly with forest monks on their meditative
experiences.The study presents a definition for the 'supramundane
fruit' of the path and an alternate framework to discuss and
evaluate Theravada Buddhist religious experiences. It then uses
this framework to address some longstanding debates around the
Theravada path and its fruits thus bringing experience back to the
centre stage of these debates.
