Collected Wheel Publications: Volume VIII: Numbers 101 to 115

This volume presents Wheel Publications Nos. 101 to 115 as a coherent collection focused on Buddhist doctrine, ethical reflection, scriptural study, and the living heritage of the early Buddhist tradition. It begins with The Greater Discourse on the Elephant-Footprint Simile, a Majjhima Nikāya discourse edited with notes by Nyanaponika Thera, and continues with reflections on death, the Buddhist attitude toward the taking of life, and the Four Nutriments as a framework for understanding the conditions that sustain sentient existence. The volume also includes selected material from the Saṃyutta Nikāya, Ñāṇamoli Thera’s rendering of the Raṭṭhapāla Sutta, comparative reflections on Buddhism and other religions, and studies on the Buddha’s final legacy, Buddhist commentarial literature, and the lives of early disciples. Taken together, these writings present Buddhism as a path grounded in insight, ethical restraint, non-harming, renunciation, mindfulness, and the disciplined transmission of Dhamma across textual and historical traditions.
