Fundamentals of Buddhism

Book to be printed

We are very happy to announce the publication of a Dhamma book titled “Fundamentals of Buddhism.” It is from the lectures of “Fundamentals of Buddhism” class by the late Sayadaw U Sīlānanda and edited by U Hla Myint. We plan to publish it during the June 2020 Vipassanā Meditation Retreat at Tathāgata Meditation Center (TMC).

The late Sayadaw U Sīlānanda, while living, had devoted his time and energy to spreading the original teachings of the Buddha until the final days of his life. He kept his pledge to serve the Buddha Sāsana without retirement. He had led so many Vipassanā meditation retreats, taught several Dhamma classes, and given many Dhamma talks at Tathāgata Meditation Center, as well as at other places, to benefit people. While still living, Sayadaw was always energetic and in high spirit to spread the original teachings of the Buddha.

He always emphasized on the understanding of the basic teachings of the Buddha since it is a solid foundation for a better understanding of difficult topics. In publishing this book, our goal is to spread the basic teachings of the Buddha.

Should you be interested in receiving this book, please fill out the bottom part of this letter and mail it back to Tathāgata Meditation Center. This book is free of charge but any donations to the Free-Distribution Program are welcome and greatly appreciated.

In Metta,
