The reader will find here nearly all the teaching texts of the Pali Canon translated and explained, which were intended not for monks and nuns, but for people in family and professional life. After over 50 years of practical living according to these teachings, the author presents a surprisingly rich material that stands out for its depth, tranquility, clarity, freshness, and precision, bridging many connections to the thought processes of today’s seriously searching individuals and addressing both the current state of natural science and the spiritual currents of our time. The book highlights the timeless essence of the teachings of the Buddha, who called himself "the Awakened One" and awakened from the realm of existence. He said of himself: "I teach only one thing: suffering and its overcoming," and of his teachings: "They invite you: Come and see for yourself!" This book aims to facilitate that self-seeing.
