Bhikkhu Bodhi Bücher

Die Werke des Buddha können umfangreich erscheinen, und es ist manchmal schwierig, selbst für langjährige Schüler zu wissen, wo sie suchen sollen, da der Buddha nie ausdrücklich den Rahmen seiner Lehren definiert hat. „In den Worten des Buddha“ ist eine Anthologie der Werke des Buddha, die von einem angesehenen Gelehrten und Übersetzer speziell zusammengestellt wurde. Für eine einfache Referenz ist das Buch in zehn thematische Abschnitte gegliedert, die von „Der menschlichen Zustand“ bis „Den Geist meistern“ und „Die Ebenen der Verwirklichung“ reichen. Jeder Abschnitt enthält Einführungen, Anmerkungen und Essays, um Anfängern und Experten gleichermaßen zu helfen, tiefere Bedeutungen aus den Worten des Buddha zu ziehen. Das Buch bietet auch eine allgemeine Einführung des Autors, die vollständig darlegt, wie und warum er die Lehren des Buddha in diesem Band angeordnet hat. Diese durchdachte Zusammenstellung ist eine wertvolle Ressource für Lehrer und für diejenigen, die die Lehren des Buddha selbstständig lesen möchten.

Der edle achtgliedrige Heilsweg представлява методът на практическа дисциплина, така както е изложен от Буда в Палийския Канон. Настоящата книга предлага на чист и ясен език сбито, но обстойно обяснение на Осморния път. Използвайки за солидна основа собствените думи на Буда, авторът изследва всеки фактор на пътя, за да определи точно неговото съдържание от гледна точка на практическото обучение. Накрая в заключението той показва как всичките осем фактора работят в синхрон, за да доведат до реализирането на будистката цел - просветление и освобождение. Книгата е непредубедена, изключително достъпна и логична, и дава многобройни мъдри и прагматични съвети както на начинаещия, така и на опитния последовател на Осморния път. Истинско съкровище за всички хора, които търсят обоснован начин на живот, който носи интелектуално, емоционално и духовно удовлетворение.

The present work offers a complete translation of the Aguttara Nikya, the fourth major collection in the Sutta Piṭaka, or Basket of Discourses, belonging to the Pali Canon

A complete translation of the Samyutta Nikaya, containing all the important suttas in one volumn for the first time.

Renowned scholar-monk and bestselling translator Bhikkhu Bodhi’s definitive, practical guide on how to read ancient Buddhist texts in the original language. Bhikkhu Bodhi’s sophisticated and practical instructions on how to read the Pali of the Buddha’s discourses will acquaint students of Early Buddhism with the language and idiom of these sacred texts. Here the renowned English translator of the Pali Canon opens a window into key suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya, giving a literal translation of each sentence followed by a more natural English rendering, then explaining the grammatical forms involved. In this way, students can determine the meaning of each word and phrase and gain an intimate familiarity with the distinctive style of the Pali suttas—with the words, and world, of the earliest Buddhist texts. Ven. Bodhi’s meticulously selected anthology of suttas provides a systematic overview of the Buddha’s teachings, mirroring the four noble truths, the most concise formulation of the Buddha’s guide to liberation. Reading the Buddha’s Discourses in Pali shares with readers not only exceptional language instruction but also a nuanced study of the substance, style, and method of the early Buddhist discourses.

The renowned translator Bhikkhu Bodhi has crafted this anthology of suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya to enable students of Early Buddhism to penetrate into the heart of the Buddha’s teachings on the four noble truths and the eightfold path as directly and clearly as possible. The aim is to attain direct insight into foundational Buddhist teachings on liberation. Brilliantly translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi, this anthology of suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya takes us straight to the heart of the Buddha’s teaching on liberation through the four noble truths and the noble eightfold path—the two mainstays of Buddhist doctrine that illuminate the nature of things and generate direct insight into the teachings. These suttas all pertain to the ultimate good, the attainment of nibbana, or liberation. They illuminate the Buddha’s radical diagnosis of the human condition—and more broadly, the condition of all sentient existence—in light of the four noble truths. They underscore the pervasive flaws inherent in the round of rebirths, trace our existential predicament to its deepest roots, and lay out the path to unraveling our bondage and winning irreversible release. Ven. Bodhi arranged the chapters, each with its own introduction, to provide an overview of the Dhamma that mirrors the four noble truths, thus enabling students of Early Buddhism to see into the heart of the Buddha’s teachings as directly and clearly as possible.
