New Guide to the Tipitaka A Complete Reference to the Pali Buddhist Canon (9781926892689) Matthew Meghaprasara Books Reviews
As described, arrived on time.
This is a fantastic book and resource for any Theravadin Buddhist serious about her practice. The Pali Canon is huge and difficult to navigate. Matthew Meghaprasara has written summaries for ALL of the suttas in the Sutta Pitaka--thousands of discourses summarized. It is an amazing feat for which the author has certainly gained great merit. If you want to study the Pali suttas as part of your practice, buy this book.
This is probably one of the most important books about the Tripitaka and Buddhadhamma any native English speaker of the suttas could purchase. It condenses the 20,000 pages of sutta's into a much more digestible 400 large print pages by describing the main content of each book or chapter. The author, and I, strongly encourage everyone to read the entire texts as they are able, but Cliff Notes version is invaluable for anyone who is serious about Theravada or Buddhist studies.
My only suggestion for improvement is that the section of "Buddhism by the Numbers" (which is also sold as a delightful pocket sized book by the author) could have included the Pali vocabulary for each section it describes (excluding the Pali vocabulary forces the student to cross reference the original statements which means it will take more time to study) but that is a relatively minor complaint. The pocket sized book could also use more Pali vocabulary in a future edition.
