The book covering the basic elements of Theravada Buddhism through to application in everyday life. Walpola Rahula is a learned Buddhist whose lifelong devotion and studies show clearly in his writing.

The lessons can be applied by all, regardless of faith or observation of ceremonies or sabaths. Perfect for beginners and Buddhist practi
