{"product_id":"numerical-discourses-of-the-buddha-rare-books","title":"Numerical discourses of the buddha [rare books]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawn from the Anguttara Nikaya, Numerical Discourses of the Buddha brings together teachings of the Buddha ranging from basic ethical observances rec- ommended to the busy man or woman of the world, to the more rigorous instructions on mental training prescribed for the monks and nuns. The Angut- tara Nikäya is a part of the Pali Canon, the authorized recension of the Buddha's Word for followers of Theravada Buddhism, the form of Buddhism prevailing in the Buddhist countries of southern Asia. These discourses are called numerical because they retain the structure of the original Anguttara Nikāya. Sayings are organized not by topic, but by numbers mentioned in the texts. This organizational scheme, common in ancient Indian literature, can give the reader a haphazard view of the Buddha's teachings. To balance this tendency, Bhikkhu Bodhi provides a systematic introduction to the Buddha's Teaching in the Anguttara Nikaya. The translators also provide notes, a glossary, and another introduction placing the Anguttara Nikäya in the context of the larger Theravada Buddhist Canon. This readable but precise translation will be welcomed by both students of Theravada Buddhism as well as anyone wishing to learn from the Buddha's teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Best of Used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45201221386497,"sku":"2ZWRXOV7L-Used","price":999.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/files\/6xy.jpg?v=1716878054","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/numerical-discourses-of-the-buddha-rare-books","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
