The Fruit of the Homeless Life: The Samannaphala Sutta (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book delves into the teachings of the Buddha through a dialogue between King Ajatasattu and the Buddha himself. The king, seeking to understand the true value of a life renounced for spiritual pursuit, questions various ascetics and recluses, ultimately finding their answers inadequate. The Buddha, in response, paints a vivid picture of the stages of spiritual development for those who follow the Buddhist path, outlining the progressive benefits of a homeless life. The book explores the importance of right conduct, the practice of mindfulness, and the attainment of various states of meditation, culminating in a state of liberation from suffering. By providing a compelling and insightful dialogue, this book offers a valuable resource for understanding the core principles of Buddhism and the potential for achieving inner peace through spiritual practice.
