Excursions into the Thought-World of the Pali Discourses
“Bhikkhu Analayo is one of our most brilliant monastic scholars of early Buddhism, combining meticulous scholarship with a deep understanding rooted in years of diligent meditation practice. The present book, a wide-ranging collection of canonical studies, offers trustworthy insights into the core concepts that shape the “thought-world” of the Buddha’s teachings.”  —Bhikkhu Bodhi, author,The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering“It would be hard to overstate the contribution Ven. Analayo makes to our understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. His breadth and depth of knowledge, clarity of expression, and wise reflections make his writings a treasured gift of Dharma.”  —Joseph Goldstein, author,A Heart Full of PeaceandOne Dharma
