Buddhadhamma by Phra Prayudh Payutto

Buddhadhamma by Phra Prayudh Payutto

This volume-with a clear introduction that introduces the author and places him in the context of the history of the Thai Buddhist tradition-makes a significant contribution to the scant literature on Theravada Buddhism in English. One of the major contributions of this book is a detailed description of the Buddhist principles of causality, which will add to other works on this topic by modern Buddhist scholars. Furthermore, this book reveals the rational basis of the Buddhist worldview and contains an especially lucid discussion of the distinctive Buddhist notion of no-self and Buddhist "faith" or confidence based on inquiry.

"The book is a translation of the first edition of the magnum opus written by Thailand's most highly respected monastic intellectualThoroughly grounded in Pali text and commentary, it represents a contemporary transformation of classical Theravada thought and practice." -- Donald K. Swearer, Swarthmore College
