Long Discourses of the Buddha, The
A Translation of the Digha Nikaya
Maurice Walshe, Translator


An invaluable collection of the teachings of the Buddha found in the Pali Canon which reveal his gentleness, compassion, and penetrating wisdom. These thirty-four discourses are among the oldest records of the Buddha’s original teachings. (Previously titled Thus Have I Heard.) These translations of the long suttas of the Pali canon are essential for understanding the life of the historical Buddha. Within in it reside some of the more intimate stories of the Buddha’s life and times.

Wisdom Publications has received Bhikkhu Bodhi's new translation of the Anguttara Nikaya, which is currently being reviewed by our editor. Any available information or updates on this project will be announced in Wisdom Reader e-newsletter.

Praise & Reviews

"This is an amazing work that speaks to us across 2500 years...Each person who undertakes to read and study The Long Discourses of the Buddha will, I believe, open up new paths of thought and new and precious insights into the depths of Buddhist history and thought."—Mountain Record

"These teachings...unfold in fascinating procession of scenarios that show the Buddha in living dialogue with people from the many different strata of ancient Indian society...Replete with drama, with reasoned argument, and with illuminating parables and similes, these discourses exhibit the Buddha in the full range of his wisdom, majestic sublimity, and compassionate humanity."—Branches of Light
