An abridged translation of one of the most important books on Theravada Buddhism in recent history-authored by the esteemed Thai monk P. A. Payutto.
First published in Thailand in 1971 and since then expanded and revised multiple times, Bhikkhu P. A. Payutto's Buddhadhamma is widely considered to be one of the most significant scholarly works on the Buddhism of the Pali canon produced in the last century. In this abridged translation, Bruce Evans presents the core of Ven. Payutto's monumental scholarship, creating an ideal manual for anyone walking or studying the Theravada Buddhist path. Within are discussions of unparalleled sophistication on such foundational Buddhist teachings as the five khandhas, dependent arising, kamma, the noble eightfold path, spiritual friendship, wise attention, the four noble truths, the nature of enlightenment, and more.
Replete with passages from the ancient Pali suttas, Payutto frames Buddhist teachings in terms of broad existential questions that all of us face, such as "What is life?" and "How should life be lived?" Payutto's illuminating expertise shows Theravada Buddhism to be a thorough explication of how reality unfolds according to natural processes-as well as a way of life that can yield the highest form of happiness.
