Rebirth as Doctrine and Experience

Story, F.

In the Pali Canon the Buddha's excellent qualities are extolled in a classic formula of nine terms which serves as the basis for both Buddhist devotion and the meditative recollection of the Buddha. In the present book the author has used this formula as a key for collecting a rich variety of texts from the Pali Canon illustrating each of the Buddha's nine outstanding virtues.

The Path of Freedom, or Vimuttimagga, which serves as a meditation manual, is broadly considered a great and important work. It is similar to the Path of Purification, or Visuddhimagga, but less analytical and more practical in its treatment of the traditional meditation objects. Both are commentaries, not from the Pali Canon, but very relevant to it, especially to the section of the Pali Canon called the Abhidhamma which contains the philosophical treatises of the Buddha. There is considerable variance between traditions as to who is given credit for this great work, although it is widely held that it was written centuries after the time of the Buddha.

Composed entirely of texts from the Pali canon, this unique biography presents the oldest authentic record of the Buddha s life and revolutionary philosophy. The ancient texts are rendered here in a language marked by lucidity and dignity, and a framework of narrators and voices connect the canonical texts. Vivid recollections of his personal attendant Ananda and other disciples bring the reader into the Buddha s presence, where his example offers profound inspiration and guidance on the path to freedom.

The Life of the Buddha: According to the Pali Canon

Bhikkhu Nanomoli

The Milindapanha is one of the great classics of Pali Buddhist literature, a spirited dialogue between the Greek king Milinda and the Buddhist sage Nagasena. The dialogue touches on many subtle problems of Buddhist philosophy and practice, dealing with them with wit and eloquence. This abridged edition has been adapted from the long-standing translation by I.B. Horner.

Bodhi, Bhikkhu

This 56-page booklet is a 1957 translation of an introductory discourse given by the Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw on the purpose, method of practice, and benefits of the system of meditation which he taught, called Satipa h na Vipassana. The treatise includes a brief explication of Vipassana's place in the Buddha's teaching and its connection with the theoretical foundation in the Abhidhamma teaching, and proceeds with detailed instructions on the practice of the different aspects of insight meditation. The Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw (1904-1982) was one of the most eminent of the scholar-monks and meditation teachers of Burma of the past century. In 1949 he was requested by the then Prime Minister U Nu to come to Rangoon to give training in meditation practice. He conducted intensive meditation courses at the Thathana Yeiktha Meditation Centre until his death in 1982.

Satipatthana Vipassana

Mahasi Sayadaw

The practice of Vipassana or insight meditation was described by the Buddha as the direct way for the overcoming of all sorrow and grief and for realizing Nibbana, the state of perfect liberation from suffering. The essence of this practice consists in the four foundations of mindfulness: mindful contemplation of the body, feelings, states of mind, and mind objects.
