About this ebook
A milestone in Buddhist literature, this comprehensive presentation of the practice of Dhamma shows how it can quench the dissatisfaction and suffering common in our lives.
Dhamma--a Pali word meaning “law of nature” or “truth,” but commonly used to refer to the overall body of Buddhist teachings--has the potential to fundamentally change one's life. In this comprehensive set of teachings, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, perhaps the most influential Thai Buddhist of the twentieth century, introduces the Dhamma to lay practitioners in a relatable and powerful way. Beginning with an extensive discussion of spiritual practice and moving into specific teachings on Dhamma, this book will be an indispensable resource for Theravada Buddhists, Insight Meditation practitioners, and all readers interested in a profoundly committed modern approach to the Buddhist path.

About the author
BUDDHADASA BHIKKHU (1906–1993) was a famous and influential ascetic-philosopher of the 20th century. He remains the most prominent Buddhist thinker in Thailand, with hundreds of thousands of followers and readers. A devout practitioner and "conservative reformer," he broke down longstanding barriers to lay practice and thus opened the doors to widespread movements of lay Theravadin Buddhism in both Thailand and in Western countries.
