Description
Book SynopsisThis volume contains Sangharakshita's translations of several Pali suttas, including the Dhammapada, the 'best known and best loved of all Buddhist scriptures'. It also contains commentaries on the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha's seminal teaching on mindfulness; the Karaniya Metta Sutta, the equally essential teaching on loving kindness; the Mangala Sutta; and the Tiratana Vandana. The volume concludes with The Threefold Refuge, in which Sangharakshita explores perspectives on Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels not found elsewhere in his writings.
