The Dhamma Cafe

“Who is my self?”, Ayya Khema on the Potthapada Sutta DN 9. Also includes a fair amount from the absorption jhana perspective. Wisdom publications 1999. #buddhism #book #sutta #study

Finishing off “Moving Dhamma vol 1”, a selection of readings and commentary on suttas from the Majjhima Nikaya. Interesting commentary around practical applications of the suttas from talks last decade. BV has a rather unique approach. #book #suttas #buddhism

This book isn’t long, but it packs a punch. Written from a solid understanding of the Dhamma, with right view and with a practical application in mind. It doesn’t contain any fancy tricks or altered states, but presents the teachings in a unique way so as to allow the reader to experiment and engage in the direct endurance of the hinderances and make use of much understated practices such as virtue, patience, endurance and observation. Highly recommended for the serious seeker.
