THE WORD OF THE BUDDHA

An outline of the teaching of the Buddha in the words of the Pali Canon

Compiled, translated and explained by NYANATILOKA

 

PREFACE

The word of the Buddha, published originally in German, was the first strictly systematic exposition of all the main tenets of the Buddha’s Teachings presented in the Master’s own words as found in the Sutta-Pitaka of the Buddhist Pali Canon.

While it may well serve as a first introduction for the beginner, its chief aim is to give the reader who is already more or less acquainted with the fundamental ideas of Buddhism, a clear, concise and authentic summary of its various doctrines, within the framework of the all-embracing ‘Four Noble truths’, i.e. the Truths of Suffering (inherent in all existence), of its origin, of its Extinction, and of the way leading to its extinction. From the book itself it will be seen how the teachings of the Buddha all ultimately converge upon the one final goal: Deliverance from suffering. It was for this reason that on the title page of the first German edition there was printed the passage from the Anguttara-Nikãya which says:

      ‘Not only the fact of suffering do I teach,

       But also the deliverance from it’
