Word of the Buddha (Part 3) | Ajahn Brahm | 9 February 2025

*Apologies, recording started late and this session is missing the introduction. 

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 3. Find the full series here.
