Buddhist Aids To Daily Conduct

Pariyatti, 2023

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 6 by Edward Greenly, 'Buddhist Aids To Daily Conduct' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. I, narrated by Christa Michel. Excerpt: ...The first thing to be observed is that Buddhism does not make what we may perhaps call a “frontal attack” upon evil.
