Collected Wheel Publications: Volume IV: Numbers 47 to 60

This volume presents Wheel Publications Nos. 47 to 60 as a focused collection on Buddhist doctrine, ethics, mental cultivation, and practical religious life. It opens with selected texts on Buddhism and the God-idea, then proceeds to the Discourse on the Snake Simile, which addresses the correct grasp of the Dhamma and the danger of misunderstanding doctrine. The section Knowledge and Conduct explores Buddhist contributions to philosophy and ethics, emphasizing the inseparable relationship between right understanding and moral action. Other works examine the taming of the mind, pathways of Buddhist thought, the Dhamma as a mirror for self-assessment, the Five Precepts as the foundation of lay morality, and ordination within Theravāda Buddhism. The volume also includes a discourse addressed to knowers of the Veda, traditional Buddhist stories, and a discussion of the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta as applied to modern life. Taken together, these writings present Buddhism as a disciplined path of wisdom, ethical responsibility, mindfulness, and liberation.
