This manual has been prepared as a study guide for practitioners to Bhikkhu Bodhi’s translation of the Majjhima Nikaya, or the Middle-Length Discourses of the Buddha. Sometimes, one can feel daunted by the size of this large body of work and can be deterred from even beginning to read the text. Yet, this collection of the second of the Buddha’s discourses found in the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon contains some of the most profound Buddhist teachings, and it covers a wide range of the Buddha’s radical insights into the nature of existence. My Study Guide highlights important sections and offers reflections and suggestions for how to bring our daily practice alive.
