Synopsis :

Can studying Pali – the language of the earliest Buddhist texts – get us closer to what the Buddha actually said, in his very own words? In this short and brilliant book, Richard Gombrich suggests that this may well be possible …

Richard Gombrich is Chair and Founding Director of the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies and one of the world’s leading authorities on early Buddhism. This book is the result of a lifetime’s dedication to the study and teaching of Pali.

‘This study of the language of the Buddhist texts – and, it seems, the Buddha himself – is essential reading for anyone interested in the early history of Buddhism. It is a gem: scholarly, readable, and beautifully written too.’

Charles Shaw
