The advice of the author in this book, to live simply, contemplate the way things are, and let go of suffering is attractively clear to our confused and anxious society. He offers many ideas from his own experience and a centuries-old Theravaden Buddhist tradition of freeing the mind and opening the heart - through formal meditation as well as in daily life. This work, based on the author's talks for students and his answers to their questions, offers both an insider's perspective on many of the basic teachings, and a radically simple approach to life.

The Mind and the Way

Ajahn Sumedho

Rider&Co

What would life be like if each one of us chose compassion over anger, loving-kindness over hatred, awareness over ignorance? The Mind and the Way demonstrates a radically simple approach to life, one in which we are able to awaken to our true loving nature and delight in the mystery and wonder of the world. With warmth and a wonderful sense of humor, Ajahn Sumedho draws on the experiences of ordinary life to convey Buddhist insights that for 2,500 years have continued to remain vital and pertinent to our lives.

The Anthology Volume 4: The Sound of Silence

Wonderful Theravada Dhamma talks by a Buddhist practitioner steeped in the Thai forest tradition. But since he was raised an American they have a nice relevance to people with a Western, as they call it, origin. It's something that can be left in your sitting room, chapters slowly digested over time.
