This volume contains Sangharakshitas translations of several Pali suttas, including the Dhammapada, the best known and best loved of all Buddhist scriptures. It also contains commentaries on the Satipa hana Sutta, the Buddhas seminal teaching on mindfulness; the Kara iya Metta Sutta, the equally essential teaching on loving kindness; the Ma gala Sutta; and the Tiratana Vandana. The volume concludes with The Threefold Refuge, in which Sangharakshita explores perspectives on Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels not found elsewhere in his writings.
