This much-anticipated volume contains a full translation from the Pali of the "Anguttara Nikaya," the fourth collection of the canonical discourses of the Buddha. The primary focus of the "Anguttara Nikaya" is practice, which it treats from a wide-angle perspective, advancing from basic ethical observances, through the pillars of mind training, to the highest meditative attainments. The "Anguttara" is also distinguished among the Nikayas by its interest in types of persons, which it describes in detail and with memorable similes. "The Numerical Discourses of the Buddha "continues Wisdom's "Teachings of the Buddha" series, which has been praised by scholars and practitioners alike for its beautifully presented, highest quality, annotated translations of the words of the Buddha.
