In "Basic Teachings of the Buddha," Glenn Wallis selects sixteen
essential dialogues drawn from more than five thousand Pali-dialect
suttas of the Buddhist canon. The result is a vibrant introductory
guide to studying Buddhist thought, applying its principles to
everyday life, and gaining a deeper understanding of Buddhist
themes in modern literature. Focusing on the most crucial topics
for today's readers, Wallis presents writings that address modern
psychological, religious, ethical, and philosophical concerns. This
practical, inspiring, and engaging volume provides an overview of
the history of Buddhism and an illuminating analysis of the core
writings that personalizes the suttas for each reader.
"Glenn Wallis brings wisdom and compassion to this work of
scholarship. Everyone should read this book."
-Christopher Queen, Harvard University
"A valuable sourcebook with a good selection of the fundamental
suttas enhanced by an eloquent introduction and comprehensive
notes-altogether a very useful text."
-Peter Matthiessen (Roshi), author of "The Snow Leopard" and
"Nine-Headed Dragon River"
"Glenn Wallis's new and accessible translations of some of the
Buddha's lectures to his original students, along with Wallis's
elegant guide to the texts, gives twenty-first-century readers in
the modern West a fresh chance to learn from this teacher."
-Charles Hallisey, University of Wisconsin-Madison
