EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION

Dear Brothers and Sisters-in-the-Dhamma,

Dear Friends-in-the-Dhamma,

This is Book One of my teaching material for a complete four-year course at the Vietnam Institute of Advanced Buddhist Studies in Ho Chi Minh city. The book containing 12 lessons, a number of supplementary readings and dialogues, and 3 appendices is intended for the first and second- year students. It may also serve as a self-study book for intermediate students of English who wish to learn Buddhist texts and a basic Buddhist technical vocabulary through English reading.

Most of the selections are simplified adaptations from various books written by Buddhist scholars such as the Venerable Dr Ernest Hunt, Narada Mahathera, Dr W. Rahula, Dr G. P. Malalasekera, or abridged excerpts from English Versions of the Discourses (Suttas) taught by the Buddha and compiled in the original Pali Triple Canon (Tipitaka).

This teaching material aims to provide Buddhist students with lessons on the Buddha’s fundamental teachings and at the same time it attempts to help them to develop their five language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating.
