In the Buddha's Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon
Bhikkhu Bodhi, Ed. & Trans.
Boston: Wisdom Publications, 2005
496 pp.; $18.95 (paper)

Wisdom Publications' hefty translations of the Pali canon have, for many practitioners, been books to own and admire rather than read and absorb. With this new selection, editor/translator Bhikkhu Bodhi clears the way for the modern reader to connect directly with the words of the Buddha. Featuring clear introductions to ten thematic chapters—including “The Human Condition,” “Deepening One's Perspective on the World,” and “The Path to Enlightenment”—the book's efficient structure makes the teachings accessible despite their volume, aided also by a low price and a paperback binding.
