Here is what people are saying about the The Connected Discourses of the Buddha: A Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya
"Perfect (for the specialist...)" | 2009-09-23 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1Z8RGTFLYTXQ3 |
This is NOT an introduction to the pali scriptures - for that, check out
Bikkhu Bodhi's "In the Buddha's Words"! But if you are already familiar
with the style of the suttas, and you know you want to dig deeper, here
you've got one of the most important of the nikayas for the serious
student, including numerous discourses on the most fundamental aspects
of the teaching, such as dependent origination, the five aggregates,
mindfulness, etc. etc. etc. Together with the chapterwise introductions
and extensive annotation by Bikkhu Bodhi, who is remarkably learned and
obviously himself a dilligent practicioner of these matters, this is an
absolute gem for those who mean it. |

"There is WISDOM in these book purchases" | 2009-03-30 |
| - Reviewed By User: A257NEXEU96D1L |
| There are no comparisons to these books by Wisdom Publications. They are complete translations of the ancient Pali Buddhist texts. This is one in a series of many I've purchased through this publisher. They are my most treasured book volumes, without rival. |

"A scholarly masterwork of a translation" | 2007-10-18 |
| - Reviewed By samvega |
| This translation is a masterpiece of our time. An Epic translation unmatched in scholarship or praise. It is a volume that any student of early Buddhism, scholar and lay-person alike will cherish and refer back to time and again. Little criticism can be found in the scholarship of the translation, and for those who are curious, thorough notes are given at the ends of chapters, but I am forced to subtract a star just for the fact that one wishes that a work of this scope would be published in a superior binding than what is found in the current edition. The binding is unfortunately glued instead of sewn, and it can be expected that this is not a book that will last to be passed down to kin. I would like to see a publication of superior quality someday. |

"Outstanding academic work" | 2007-03-10 |
| - Reviewed By User: AE54V2Q7RLTBN |
| This is a classic work by Bhikkhu Bodhi. It is academically outstanding and includes valuable notes, indices and tables. Even though the introduction is very good and translator has done an excellent job dealing with the great repetition of the Pali canon, I'm not sure that it would be a book for beginners. But as soon as one has some foundation and understanding of the canon, it is a must have. |

"Connected Discourses of The Buddha" | 2007-01-08 |
| - Reviewed By satof |
| The book is an excellent introduction (albeit not an easy one) to the thought of the Buddha presented in a form as close to the original utterances as we are able to get at this remove in time. Anyone interested in Buddhist thought in general, and specific presentations of Buddhist ideas and ideals in particular, should be familiar with this book. |

"The Samyutta Nikaya" | 2006-11-03 |
| - Reviewed By enenalan |
| While much more wieldy as a two volume set, this single volume edition remains an essential edition to any Buddhist library. From the five aggregates to the eightfold path, the Samyutta Nikaya covers some of the most important topics in the Buddhist canon. Bhikkku Bodhi's translation is accessible and his omissions of some of the more repetitive passages welcome. In addition, Bhikkhu Bodhi's annotations are comprehensive and add much to the text itself. Whether one's interests are academic or spiritual (or both!), this translation comes highly recommended. |
