BQ1192 .E53 W66 1939Description
Woodward’s classic translation draws from across the Pāli Nikāyas (the earliest collections of Buddhist scriptures), including the Vinaya Piṭaka, the Dhammapada, the Itivuttaka, the Udāna, and the Sutta Nipāta. It organizes the Buddha's core philosophical, moral, and meditative instructions:
• The Early Order & The Path: The early history of the Sangha and the basic principles of monastic life.
• Practical Ethics: Sections detailing "The Tongue" (right speech), "Charity", and "Advice Mostly to Laymen".
• Societal and Personal Stability: Teachings on maintaining harmony in communities and coping "In Time of Sickness".
• The Ultimate Goal: Metaphysical discourses culminating in chapters that attempt to define Nibbāna (Nirvana).Collection
