What the Buddha Taught: Revised and Expanded Edition with Texts from Suttas and Dhammapada by Walpola Rahula
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A quality book that is understandably dense. One I’ll definitely be revisiting.
Pleasant surprises:
1) the book is far more academic than anticipated
2) nearly all explicative quotations are direct words of the Buddha (rather than of subsequent
arahants)
3) a full third of the book is simple excerpts from the suttas, presented without commentary
