"The Way To The Far Shore" (Pārāyanavagga) is the name given to the fifth book of the Suttanipāta. That book consists of 16 suttas of the Buddha given in answer to questions posed by 16 different people. Some scholars regard the Pārāyanavagga (Snp 5) as being considerably earlier in composition than the bulk of the Pāḷi Canon. As such it may reveal an earlier form of Buddhism before the establishment of Buddhism as an institution. It contains many of the basic teaching found elsewhere in the Pāḷi Canon such as the importance of mindfulness and the dangers of craving and clinging. This current book is a commentary on these 16 suttas, that I hope sheds more light on these important teachings.
