Description About the author Contents
 
  • Immediately after his enlightenment, the Buddha gave a talk that contained within it the foundation for all further Buddhist teachings. The text of this remarkable discourse is presented here and is brilliantly illuminated by a respected, contemporary teacher of the Theravada tradition. This discourse by the Buddha, called �The Sutta That Set in Motion the Wheel of the Truth,� is revered by all schools of Buddhism, yet it isn�t studied regularly due to the density of the material it contains. Ajahn Sucitto�s engaging, chapter-by-chapter unpacking of the text makes it accessible for everyone, showing how it serves as a complete digest of all the Buddhist teachings, and thus, as a worthy guide for life. His commentary includes enlightening discussions of fundamental Buddhist ideas and principles such as:
  • The Middle Way,
  • The Eightfold Path,
  • The Four Noble Truths,
  • Buddhist cosmology,
  • Karma,
  • Enlightenment.
