Three Discourses of the Buddha English 2018

This publication presents three of the earliest recorded disoures offered by the Buddha. These seventy two original verses of the Buddha unveil some of the most essential and quintessential teaching in Buddhism. The first discourse Rajadesananama-Mahayana Sutra I deals with the sources of suffering of samsara; the second discourse Rajadesananama-Mahayana Sutra II discusses the method of subduing oneself and the third discourse Silasamyuku Sutra shows the essence of moral conduct. By retaining a storytelling framework the discourses avoid abstraction but instead illustrate practical influences upon individuals who are searching for peace of mind and ultimate truth. The cover of the book is designed to convey the symbloic messgae of impermanence which is also the concluding stanza of the book.
