Description

The Long Discourses of the Buddha A Translation of the Digha Nikaya by Maurice Walshe This collection of 34 longer-length suttas, or discourses, offers a unique insight into the Buddha's teachings, given in India over 2,500 years ago. The Digha Nikaya is one of the major collections of texts in the Pali Canon, the authorized scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. These suttas reveal the Buddha's gentleness, compassion, power, and penetrating wisdom, covering topics such as mindfulness, morality, concentration, and wisdom. Practical advice and insight for those on the spiritual path are also included. The book brings us closer to the wise and compassionate presence of the Buddha and his path of truth. With a vivid account of the Buddha's life and times and a short survey of his teachings, this translation provides a valuable resource for understanding the Buddha's original teachings.
