    Explaining an early sutta for Secular Buddhists
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017*

This is an excellent book.  The Atthakavaggo Sutta is considered by many Buddhist scholars as one of the oldest texts of the canon.  It lacks most of the doctrine inserted into the canon by later monks.  Although it's impossible to know what the Buddha actually taught, it is possible to surmise it from the earlier works.  Mr Fronsdal's commentaries of the sections of this sutta provide us with excellent teachings on how to live the Buddha's way.  I believe the book is directed to those of us who are Secular Buddhists, looking for a way to live the current life without all the speculation and make-believe of Religious Buddhism.  If you want to think for yourself, try on Secular Buddhism.  If you want to expand your understanding of Secular Buddhism, read this book.  There is much good in it.
