This book offers a complete translation of the Majjhima Nikaya, or Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, one of the major collections of texts in the Pali Canon, the authorised scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. This collection - among the oldest records of the historical Buddha's original teachings - consists of 152 suttas or discourses of middle length, distinguished as such from the longer and shorter suttas of the other collections.

The Majjhima Nikaya might be concisely described as the Buddhist scripture that combines the richest variety of contextual settings with the deepest and most comprehensive assortment of teachings. These teachings, which range from basic ethics to instructions in meditation and liberating insight, unfold in a fascinating procession of scenarios that show the Buddha in living dialogue with people from many different strata of ancient Indian society: with kings and princes, priests and ascetics, simple villagers and erudite philosophers. Replete with drama, reasoned argument, and illuminating parable and simile, these discourses exhibit the Buddha in the full glory of his resplendent wisdom, majestic sublimity and compassionate humanity.

The translation is based on an original draft translation left by the English scholar-monk Bhikkhu Ñanamoli, which has been edited and revised by the American monk Bhikkhu Bodhi, who provides a long introduction and helpful explanatory notes. Combining lucidity of expression with accuracy, this translation enables the Buddha to speak across 25 centuries in language that addresses the most pressing concerns of the contemporary listener seeking clarification of the timeless issues of truth, value and the proper conduct of life. Winner of the 1995 Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Book Award and the Tricycle Prize for Excellence in Buddhist Publishing for Dharma Discourse.©1995 Bhikku Bodhi (P)2019 Ukemi Productions Ltd Buddhism Christianity Hinduism Kutsal Yazı Philosophy Meditasyon Kraliyet

A treat for the soul

Goodness knows how much basic fidelity, generosity of spirit and, one suspects, love must go into producing a mammoth spiritual title like this, one of several from the generally excellent Dharma Audiobooks. I've no idea if and when it breaks even, is a loss-leader, or has any chance of being a surprise hit on Audible as the world goes audiobook mad. What I do know as a long-time Buddhist practitioner is that this is a superbly recorded and (whatever our vocal preferences) beautifully and carefully narrated rendering of the Majhima Nikaya. Taradasa's richly considered, finely weighted, English-voiced delivery is, for sure, different in some respects from American-accented recordings; but his pronunciations cleave firmly to Bikkhu Bodhi's own detailed recommendations and are, in my experience, spot-on when it comes to what many practising Buddhists are likely used to. His reading of English prose is pretty lovely too! 🙂

The Buddha's profound message comes alive here, and the gravity of his discourse (not heavy at all, but teaching that takes us, the listener, seriously) comes across in a way that builds as we engage. It's a chance to absorb Dharma that, let's face it, most of us will only ever dip in and out of in printed form. Now we have this - a glorious opportunity to engage in slightly bigger doses: regularly, daily even as a reflection, whenever we need perspectives that are necessarily bigger than our own.

One other splendid feature is the re-location of individual introductions to the suttas so each precedes the sutta it pertains to. This is a welcome change from some texts and audio versions where all the intros come one after the other, followed by all the texts. This is just one of numerous small pieces of thoughtful production that make this recording a genuine treasury for anyone who wants to take in the word of the Buddha (or as close as we're likely to get to it).

A great achievement!

really great work, so glad that we can now listen to these books without any editing
would be good if the chapters were named and not just numbered, so one gets an overview and can skip to chapter . I see this has now been done for the connected discourses .

wonderful work

It can be difficult to put each sutta into historical context and the repetitive format can be wearing. But it is worth the effort.
