The Complete Works of Sangharakshita Volume 15: Pali Canon Teachings and Translations

Sangharakshita wrote that the Dhammapada was ‘a source of inspiration, encouragement, and guidance for well over fifty years. Indeed, I sometimes think that the Dhammapada contains, at least in principle, as much of the Buddha’s teaching as most of us really need to know in order to progress towards Enlightenment.’ This volume contains Sangharakshita’s own translation of this ‘best known and best loved of all Buddhist scriptures’, as well as his translations of other Pali suttas and several of his commentaries (based on seminars) on Pali texts. The volume concludes with The Threefold Refuge, in which Sangharakshita explores perspectives on Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels not found elsewhere in his writings.
