Heartwood of the Bodhi Tree: The Buddha's Teaching on Voidness (1995)
Ajarn Buddhadasa shows how voidness (sunyata) is the heart of every Buddhist teaching and that all paths lead to voidness, if they are truly Buddhist. The simple fact that "nothing is worth clinging to as 'me' or 'mine'" is the most excellent guide to Buddhist practice. Go to pulisher's website.
Also available in German, Italian, Korean, and Mandarin.
Mindfulness with Breathing: a Manual for Serious Beginners (1996)
The system of meditation actually practiced by and most often taught by the Buddha is explained in sufficient detail for intelligent practice but doesn't get bogged down in technical intricacies. Compiled from a series of talks given to Western meditators during a retreat at Suan Mokkh International. Go to publishers website.
Also available in German, Italian, French, Korean, and other languages.
Latest: Under the Bodhi Tree
Compiled from retreat talks exploring the practical understanding of dependent co-arising (paticcasamuppada), this new translation is finally available after a long gestation. Ajahn Buddhadasa's interpretation of paticcasamuppada cuts through a millennium of muddle to present this core of Buddha-Dhamma in a way that we can understand and practice today (rather than waiting for things to sort out in a future life).
This is the most developed and extensive presentation of this teaching available in English. Sixteen chapters are be interspersed with important passages from the Pali suttas. More passaages from the early suttas will appear in a Companion ebook soon.
