As more and more westerners study and practice Buddhism, reliable modern translations of the Buddha's teachings are increasingly in demand. Written in Pali, an ancient Indian language closely related to Sanskrit, the Nikayas are among the oldest Buddhist texts and consist of more than one and a half million words. One of the main sources for knowledge of the Buddhadharma is the four Pali Nikayas or collections of his sayings.
This edition is the most critically up-to-date and For anyone seeking a more direct encounter This new translation offers a selection of the Buddha's most important sayings, reflecting the full variety of material contained in the Nikayas: the central themes of the Buddha's teaching (his biography, philosophical discourse, instruction on morality, meditation, and the spiritual life) and the range of literary style (myth, dialogue, narrative, short sayings, verse).
