Deeper Dhamma

Word of the Buddha (Part 1) | Ajahn Brahm | 24 November 2024


Listen Later

*Apologies, this was wrongly publish earlier as Part 16. Ajahn Brahm is teaching this series again in 2024.


Ajahn Brahm is taking a classic text compiled by the Venerable Nyanatiloka titled the “Word of the Buddha” which provides a staged summary of the Buddha Dhamma. But Ajahn Brahm is heavily revising the text to bring it up to date with contemporary English language usage. 

Ajahn translates the pali sentence by sentence instead of word for word to make it powerful and accessible for us to understand.

To celebrate Ajahn Brahm’s 50th Bhikkhu Anniversary, on 5th December 2024 a PDF copy of the published version of Ajahn Brahm’s translation of ‘The Word of the Buddha’ is being made freely available for download here

This is Part 1. Find the full series here.
