THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH
The Buddha's Teachings centre around two basic principles. One is the Four Noble Truths, in which the Buddha diagnoses the problem of suffering and indicates the treatment necessary to remedy this problem. The other is the Noble Eightfold Path, the practical discipline he prescribes to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying causes of suffering. The present book offers, in simple and clear language, a concise yet thorough explanation of the Eightfold Path. Basing himself solidly upon the Buddha's own words, the author examines each factor of the path to determine exactly what it implies in the way of practical training. Finally, in the concluding chapter, he shows how all eight factors of the path function in unison to bring about the realization of the Buddhist goal: enlightenment and liberation.
TRANSCENDENTAL DEPENDENT ARISING
Tucked away in the Samyutta Nikaya among the "connected sayings on causality" (Nidanasamyutta) is a short formalized text entitled the Upanisa Sutta, the "Discourse on Supporting Conditions." The Upanisa Sutta reveals the entire course of man's faring in the world as well as his treading of the path to its transcendence. This exposition sets out to explore the, "transcendental" application of dependent arising, drawing freely from other parts of the Canon and the commentaries to fill out the meaning.
