This thoughtful anthology of Pāli texts from the Saṃyutta Nikāya is meant as the next level textbook for students of Pāli who have finished Gair and Karunatillake’s New Course.

It is in this book that the student of Pāli’s hard work starts to pay off in being able to approach the Dhamma in its ancient form, and Bhikkhu Bodhi is the preeminent guide in English to help explain both the ideas and linguistics of these Early Buddhist Texts.
