This landmark collection is the definitive introduction to the
Buddha's teachings - in his own words. The American scholar-monk
Bhikkhu Bodhi, whose voluminous translations have won widespread
acclaim, here presents selected discourses of the Buddha from the
Pali Canon, the earliest record of what the Buddha taught. Divided
into ten thematic chapters, "In the Buddha's Words" reveals the
full scope of the Buddha's discourses, from family life and
marriage to renunciation and the path of insight. A concise,
informative introduction precedes each chapter, guiding the reader
toward a deeper understanding of the texts that follow.
"In the Buddha's Words" allows even readers unacquainted with
Buddhism to grasp the significance of the Buddha's contributions to
our world heritage. Taken as a whole, these texts bear eloquent
testimony to the breadth and intelligence of the Buddha's
teachings, and point the way to an ancient yet ever-vital path.
Students and seekers alike will find this systematic presentation
indispensable.
