| Publisher Description: Ancient Buddhist teachings as translated from the original Pali canon. This reformatted publication with an opening commentary by writer and counselor PW Covington is an excellent and authentic introduction to the teachings of the Historical Buddha, as given to the world over 2500 years ago. Buddhism, like Christianity, has split in many sects/denominations, and these sects have often clung to their sectarian tenets as being the main and most indispensable features of their religion. This book follows none of the sectarian doctrines, but contains teachings upon which all Buddhists may consider common ground All proceeds from the sales of this book, in print and E-book format will go towards providing copies, free of charge to those in residential treatment programs, hospitals, and jails/prisons. |
