Sayings of the Buddha: The Classic Guide to His Teachings by F. Max Muller

Sayings of the Buddha gathers traditional Buddhist teaching verses in a compact volume associated with F. Max Müller’s English rendering. Themes include the influence of thought, ethical conduct, attention and the pursuit of wisdom.

The verses offer material for reading and reflection rather than a modern step-by-step meditation course. Müller’s contribution is to the English presentation of a traditional Buddhist work, not the origin of the Buddha’s teachings.
