Aprašymas

A rich compilation of teachings from revered Buddhist masters in Thailand's deep Theravada tradition.

Accessible, engaging, and inspiring, this collection of teachings reveals Thai Buddhism to be a no-nonsense, practical spiritual path with an emphasis on personal experience, mindfulness, ethical conduct, and confronting the roots of one's suffering head-on. Perfect for anyone interested in insight meditation, Voices from Siam showcases the bountiful wisdom of the Buddhist tradition that inspired a generation of Western teachers--including Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, Sylvia Boorstein, and many more.

Translator Bruce Evans presents these timeless Dhamma teachings in English for the first time, masterfully conveying the unique voice of each teacher. Each chapter presents a complete teaching that can be readily applied to daily life and meditation practice--ranging from the mysterious "Girimananda Sutta," originally discovered on a palm-leaf manuscript and translated into modern Thai in 1922, to contemporary talks given by a new generation of Buddhist masters.
