The Buddha before Buddhism: Wisdom from the Early Teachings

A translation with commentary of one of the earliest of the surviving Buddhist texts, which reveals the teachings to be remarkably simple and free of religious trappings.

The Aá¹á¹hakavagga, or â€œBook of Eights,â€ is believed by scholars to be among the earliest of written Buddhist texts, and in it we find the Buddhaâ€™s teaching pared down to its most uncomplicated essence. Gil Fronsdalâ€™s translation and commentary reveals the textâ€™s central concern to be the joy that comes from recognizing and letting go of attachment to the illusory views that create suffering. Itâ€™s simple medicine that works for us today as well as it did for the Buddhaâ€™s first listeners.
