Drawn from the Anguttara Nikaya, Numerical Discourses of the Buddha
brings together teachings of the Buddha ranging from basic ethical
observances recommended to the busy man or woman of the world, to
the more rigorous instructions on mental training prescribed for
the monks and nuns. The Anguttara Nikaya is a part of the Pali
Canon, the authorized recension of the Buddha's Word for followers
of Theravada Buddhism, the form of Buddhism prevailing in the
Buddhist countries of southern Asia. These discourses are called
numerical because they retain the structure of the original
Anguttara Nikaya. Sayings are organized not by topic, but by
numbers mentioned in the texts. This organizational scheme, common
in ancient Indian literature, can give the reader a haphazard view
of the Buddha's teachings. To balance this tendency, Bhikku Bodhi
provides a systematic introduction to the Buddha's teachings. To
balance this tendency, Bhikku Bodhi provides a systematic
introduction to the Buddha's Teaching in the Anguttara Nikaya. The
translators also provide notes, a glossary, and another
introduction placing the Anguttara Nikaya in the context of the
larger Theravada Buddhist Canon. This readable butt precise
translation will be welcomed by both students of Theravada Buddhism
as well as anyone wishing to learn from the Buddha's teachings.
