Born into a Bengali Buddhist family in 1915, Anagarika Munindra became a beloved and influential Buddhist meditation teacher who contributed significantly to the dawn of Western Buddhism and the vipassana meditation movement.

Rooted in the vipassana teachings of Anagarika Munindra, this detailed guide maps the Buddhist meditator’s journey toward stream entry, the first stage of enlightenment. Born into a Bengali Buddhist family in 1915, Anagarika Munindra became a beloved and influential Buddhist meditation teacher who contributed significantly to the dawn of Western Buddhism and the vipassana meditation movement. In the 1960s and 1970s, he taught many Western students—including Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and Jack Kornfield—who would go on to become highly esteemed teachers in their own right. Among these early Western students was Uffe Damborg, a Dane who lived with Munindra-Ji in Bodh Gaya, India, for six years. Here, Damborg distills everything he learned from Munindra-ji—and the forty-plus years he subsequently spent studying, practicing, and teaching Buddhism—to present the ancient path of Theravada Buddhism in modern language. Written for practitioners of vipassana meditation, Tracing the Untraceable Buddha unpacks core Buddhist teachings on non-self, karma, perception, ethics, and the four noble truths not as ideas to be intellectually understood, but as meditative insights to be cultivated as one approaches the Buddhist goal of stream entry, a profound shift in consciousness that orients one’s life toward nibbana, or enlightenment. With reflections on Damborg’s formative years with Munindra-ji, whose teaching style emphasized direct experience over dogma, this uniquely personal work becomes a lens through which meditators can explore their own spiritual paths.
