520 1  "This landmark collection is the definitive introduction 
       to the Buddha's teachings in his own words. The American 
       scholar monk Bhikkhu Bodhi, whose voluminous translations 
       have won widespread acclaim, here presents selected 
       discourses of the Buddha from the Pali Canon, the earliest
       record of what the Buddha taught. Divided into ten 
       thematic chapters, In the Buddha's Words reveals the full 
       scope of the Buddha's discourses, from family life and 
       marriage to renunciation and the path of insight. A 
       concise informative introduction precedes each chapter, 
       guiding the reader toward a deeper understanding of the 
       texts that follow." "In the Buddha's Words allows even 
       readers unacquainted with Buddhism to grasp the 
       significance of the Buddha's contributions to our world 
       heritage. Taken as a whole, these texts bear eloquent 
       testimony to the breadth and intelligence of the Buddha's 
       teachings, and point the way to an ancient yet ever vital 
       path. Students and seekers alike will find this systematic
       presentation indispensable."--BOOK JACKET
