Wisdom publishes a broad range of books from the tradition of Theravada Buddhism. This branch of Buddhism has inspired the founding of many insight (vipassana) meditation centers, introducing a great number of people to the benefits of mindfulness and meditation. Wisdom’s Theravada collection ranges from distinguished translations of canonical texts to in-depth meditation guides and advice on the practices of loving-kindness and insight. Our collection contains the renowned Teachings of the Buddha series, as well as translations of works by masters of the Thai, Burmese, and Sri Lankan Buddhist traditions, including Ajahn Chah, Sayadaw U Pandita, and Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, as well as original works by Western teachers like Ayya Khema and Ajahn Brahm.
