  “A gift - selections from the Pali Canon that bestow a sense of how the practice of dharma came to be. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, coming as it does from the first written sources at the beginning of the global sangha. If you are new to the dharma but seriously want to embark on a path of study, I would recommend this book as one of the first things you read after absorbing more general introductions to Buddhism.”
