In the Buddha's Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon (The Teachings of the Buddha) by Bhikkhu Bodhi

Bhikkhu Bodhi selects and translates discourses from the Pali Canon in an anthology arranged around ten themes. The readings move from everyday concerns and ethical conduct toward renunciation, insight and liberation.

Introductions to each section explain the context and help readers follow the teachings as a connected path. With a foreword by the Dalai Lama, this is a structured entry into early Buddhist scripture rather than a complete edition of the Pali Canon.
