[tharindumanamperi]

අපේ හාමුදුරුවනේ, ඔබ වහන්සේගේ බොහොම හරවත්, බොහොම ප්‍රායෝගික, බොහොම කෙටි දේශනා වලින් ඉගෙනගන්නෙ දේ බොහොමයි. යායුතු මග දැන හිටියත්, ප්‍රායෝගික ව යා යුතු විදිය ගැන ඉගෙනගත් දේ බොහොමයි. බොහොම ස්තූතියි මේ පොත් පෙලට සහ හැමදාම කියල දෙන මාර්ගයට.

Buddhism is the gateway to our humanity and our potential. Namo Buddhāya.

[andrewwater]

Thank you Bhante for providing us with the roadmap to Buddhism. It is so helpful. Namo Buddhaya 🙏

[truth_finder]

The books of Most Venarable Prof. Rerukane Chandawimala Thero are also great. The way he analyzes the Dhamma and his moderate view is truly appreciable.

1. Handbook of the buddhist
2. Basic facts of Abhidhamma
3. Deceptive defilements
4. Exposition of dependent origination
5. Four noble truths
6. Path of Abhidhamma

I was thinking today that I needed to get a book and start reading again. Then I saw this. Thank you!🙏♥️🇺🇲

[florianmeinhardt]

Thanks 🙏Bhante for your recommendations and links where to find free Pdf's (see description box).
I personally include the Dhammapada in my daily buddhist practice. After the pooja, I take my Dhammapada book and I recite one of the 26 chapters. I do this every day and after 26 days I start with chapter one again. 😊 For me it is very helpful and it makes me happy to read and to hear the Buddhas words (incl. side notes) in verses. During special moments throughout the day I remember some verses, or they come into my mind...and they teach me something...for example to abstain from anger...or how to make a good choice. It is like having a teacher in my mind that helps you to remember...a good guide in life.❤. May all of you be well and happy 🙏 Namo Buddhaya

[ashutoshgupta]

The fact that I move back and forth from Hindu to Buddhist texts shows how much these 2 religions are intertwined and teach the same things with different perspectives.

Much merits Bhante 🌼🙏🌼
May the noble triple gem bless and protect you always ! 🙏🌼

My reccomenendation is:

The Middle Length Sayings
(MAJJIHIMA-NIKAYA)
Translated from the Pali by
I. B. HORNER

London pali Society

this has been my companion for the past 35 years. There are numerous good books about bhuddism, each of them reflecting the authors take.
When it comes to the actual teachings, these 152 teachings of Gotamo and contemporaries as recorded by the monks shortly after Gotamo's departure are the central, most authentic, pure, genuine pices left to us. These are simple teachings adressing laymen, priests, kings, monks, ascetics, searchers. They are timeless.

There are many translations of the Dhammapadda. I want to recomend two:
1) Dhammapadda by Eknath Easwaran -- written from the heart with a fabulous introduction to every chapter.
2) Dhammapadda English - Pali Edition by Harischandra Kaviratna -- a literal word-by-word translation.

[IvyWood-cbzd]

Start when I hear your teaching, I want to become Buddhism, ❤❤❤

[renukarodrigo]

I was privileged to listen to Dhamma Desana of Naradha Maha Thero during my school years.

[keerthidelwatta]

What the Budda thought is the best book I have ever red and I am great full to the author Ven Valpola Rahula who put very deep principles in the nutshell.

Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines.
