<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A renowned Buddhist master digs into the idea of interdependency--the very core of the Buddha's teachings.</b> <p/><i>Under the Bodhi Tree </i>takes us back to the principles at the heart of Buddha's teachings--conditionality and dependent co-arising. Ajahn Buddhadasa Bhikkhu makes the case for dependent co-arising as a natural law, and builds a compelling presentation from there of Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and practice. Basing himself squarely on the Buddha's own words as preserved in the Pali Canon, he brings clarity and simplicity to what is typically a thorny philosophical knot. By returning dependent co-arising to its central place in Buddhist theory and practice, Ajahn Buddhadasa provides perspective on the Buddha's own insights and awakening. <p/><i>Under the Bodhi Tree </i>is another excellent entry from one of the most renowned Buddhist thinkers of modern times. <p/>For students who wish to study further, a companion guide is available from liberationpark.org.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ajahn Buddhadasa </b>(1906-93) is perhaps the most influential Buddhist teacher in the history of Thailand. In 1932 he founded Suan Mokkhabalarama, the first modern forest monastery in Thailand. During his lifetime he was given eight honorary doctorates by Thai universities. Since the 1960s his work helped inspire a new generation of socially concerned individuals both in Thailand and throughout the world. Buddhadasa is known for his "radically conservative" re-grounding of Theravada teaching in the suttas rather than commentaries. The story of his early life is included in <i>Sons of the Buddha.</i>
