Buddha Study Guide. A new book. A resource for a fulfilled way of life

What the Buddha really taught

More than a decade ago, I produced a working document for meditators to study important discourses of the Buddha. The PDF text gradually expanded to around 75 pages last year. It is now a 136 page book.

Text on the back jacket

Buddha Study Guide offers chapters on the Buddha's discourses on ethics, deep psychology, mindfulness/meditation, importance of love, significance of action and wise views for a fulfilled way of life.

You will see a comprehensive summary of 25 major discourses and a brief outline of 152 discourses in the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, a classic and much loved text.

Using precise translations, the Guide serves as a practical resource for reflecting on and applying to our daily life and our troubled world these relevant teachings.

You might think the Buddha taught the goal as Oneness, Being, God, Consciousness, the Now and more.

Such experiences and concepts only reveal some features of his teachings and practices but not as the goal.

Teachings of the Buddha on the path and goal require an expansive and deep exploration to enlighten our daily life.
