Sit and listen as Bhante reads the suttas from the Majjhima Nikaya and explains the inner workings of the deepest Buddha's teachings directly from the text. This book is a continuation from his original complilation of suttas, Moving Dhamma Volume 1.
Bhante Vimalaramsi looks into the subject of Right Understanding (which he renames as "Harmonious Perspective"). A different perspective is considered for the 8-fold path and within the sutta itself Bhante shows how the Buddha takes apart and analyzes the links of Dependent Origination. This is the most important teaching of the Buddha. It is said that one may even attain awakening by understanding these ideas on a deep level. This material won't be found elsewhere and, is in fact, radically different from other Buddhist teachings. Bhante Vimalaramsi only teaches from the Suttas and sets aside all the later commentaries and this makes for different results!
