Since the death of the Buddha over 2,500 years ago, Buddhist teachings have been passed down from teacher to student and interpreted in various ways by monks, practitioners, and thinkers, who have written writings based on the canon or their own personal experiences. Although the Buddhist view extends to broad aspects of life, the Buddha himself primarily taught the path to the end of suffering – Nibbana – and from this emerged various interpretations, ideas, and applications in the physical, psychological, and social realms. Here you can find original articles and commentaries by Buddhist monks and scholars from the Theravada tradition.
