Collected Wheel Publications: Volume II: Numbers 16 to 30

This volume brings together Wheel Publications Nos. 16 to 30, covering a broad spectrum of Buddhist studies and practice. It opens with a comparative discussion of Buddhism and Christianity, then moves into core doctrinal material through the Buddha’s early discourses on the Four Noble Truths, the Middle Way, not-self, and the burning nature of conditioned experience under lust, hatred, and delusion. The collection further develops the practical dimension of the Dhamma through essays on mindfulness, the three characteristics of existence, mental purification, distracting thoughts, and the conquest of the five hindrances. It also explores devotion, healing, ascetic discipline, renunciation, and the lived expression of Buddhist ideals. The literary and historical scope is expanded through The Light of Asia and I. B. Horner’s study of women in early Buddhist literature. Taken together, the volume functions as both a doctrinal reader and a practical guide, presenting Buddhism as a path of ethical clarity, meditative discipline, insight, renunciation, and liberation.
