Item Description
A Translation of the D??A
“An amazing work that speaks to us across 2500 years.”—Mountain Record
This book offers a complete translation of the D??A These suttas reveal the gentleness, compassion, power, and penetrating wisdom of the Buddha. Included are teachings on mindfulness (Mah??A?satipa?!A?A-?!A?A-h??A?na Sutta); on morality, concentration, and wisdom (Subha Sutta); on dependent origination (Mah??A?nidr??A?na Sutta); on the roots and causes of wrong views (Brahmaj??A?la Sutta); and a long description of the Buddha’s last days and passing away (Mah??A?parinibb??A?na Sutta); along with a wealth of practical advice and insight for all those travelling along the spiritual path. Venerable Sumedho Thera writes in his foreword: “[These suttas] are not meant to be ‘sacred scriptures’ that tell us what to believe. One should read them, listen to them, think about them, contemplate them, and investigate the present reality, the present experience, with them. Then, and only then, can one insightfully know the truth beyond words.” Introduced with a vivid account of the Buddha’s life and times and a short survey of his teachings, The Long Discourses of the Buddha brings us closer in every way to the wise and compassionate presence of Gotama Buddha and his path of truth.
