Description

About the author

Contents

-HERE IS THE CORE of the Buddha's teaching in his own words, as memorized word for word by his disciples and written down two hundred years after his death. These selections deal with the search for truth, the way of contemplation, the experience of sorrow, death, and many other topics, serving as an excellent introduction to the Buddna's teaching. Whether addrressed to monks and nuns, kings, householders, or outcastes, the Buddha's teachings are characterized by one main concern: conveying the reality of our bondage to suffering and the supremely good news that liberation is possible. As a result, these teachings are as relevant for people today as they were for the people of north India a millennium and a half ago.-
