Description
The Connected Discourses of the Buddha: A New Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya by Bhikkhu Bodhi is a monumental English translation of one of the most important collections in the Pali Canon, the Samyutta Nikaya. This collection consists of over 2,900 discourses (suttas) grouped thematically into chapters (samyuttas) that cover a wide range of topics central to the Buddha’s teachings. Bhikkhu Bodhi, a highly respected scholar and monk, provides a translation that is both precise and accessible, accompanied by extensive notes and explanations that make the text approachable for both scholars and general readers. The Samyutta Nikaya contains profound teachings on dependent origination, the Four Noble Truths, mindfulness, ethics, meditation, and wisdom, presented in dialogues between the Buddha and his disciples. This volume not only serves as a critical resource for understanding early Buddhist philosophy and practice but also offers timeless guidance for personal reflection and spiritual development. Bhikkhu Bodhi’s introduction and commentaries add valuable context, helping readers appreciate the historical and doctrinal significance of these ancient teachings.
