The Venerable Saddhammaramsi Sayadaw has given the title of this book Dhamma Padetha. The word Padetha is a derivative of Kapparukkha, Pali word meaning a ‘wishing tree’.
In ancient days, Kapparukkha trees would grow from the earth to be enjoyed by those born with accumulation of merit. Food and clothing could be obtained from these trees as they wished. Likewise, the readers of this book could obtain the essence of Buddhism from this wishing tree.
Just as you could get whatever you wish for, from the wishing tree, may you be able to draw the essence of the Piòakas from this variety of dhamma discourses which have been selected from the Teachings of Lord Buddha (Pali Atthakatha).
This book is a collection of articles written by Saddhammaramsi Sayadaw as Dhamma Gifts in the Myatmingala monthly magazine. Thirty-nine articles have been selected and published as an anthology for this first volume. There are total of eight volumes all together.
KINDLY NOTE THAT ONCE WE HAVE ENOUGH FUND WE WILL ALSO PUBLISH THE BALANCE OF THE SEVEN VOLUMES.

The title also reflect the usefulness and the practicality of these dhamma discourses in our daily life and will help us seeking for supra-mundane or higher teachings like the practice of Vipassana meditation.
