Editorial Reviews

L.S. Cousins
...Bhikkhu Bodhi has made the text much more readable and approachable for the novice reader. He is on the whole a much clearer writer than Ñaa.namoli and has tended to remove slight archaisms and awkwardnesses....Contrary to Bhikkhu BodhiI believe...what is needed is much more creativity and variety among translators so as to facilitate the discovery of better ways of expressing the ideas of early Buddhism. —Journal of Buddhist Ethics
