Here is the core of the Buddha’s teaching in his own words; as it was memorized word-for-word by his disciples and written down two hundred years after his death. These selections from the Buddhist scriptures deal with the search for truth; the way of contemplation; life and death; living in community; and many other topics; serving as an excellent introduction to the Buddha’s teaching. Whether addressed to monks and nuns; householders; outcastes; or thieves; 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. It is a concern as relevant for people today as it was for the people of north India a millennium and a half ago.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Difficult readBy John FreyThis is the original journal and is written in the florid; stilted style of the times. The maps are minimal and it was difficult to tell where things were taking place. I would have preferred a good biography.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
