The Island

An Anthology of the Buddha’s Teachings on Nibbāna

By Ajahn Pasanno and Ajahn Amaro

A compendium of ‘essence’ teachings on nibbāna, as they appear in the Pāli Canon and in contemporary traditions. My most highly recommended book for anyone who wants to know what Nibbāna is.

Published in 2009 by Amaravati, Hertfordshire, UK.

One of the best works in existence on Nibbāna, The Function of Buddhism, or Buddhist Philosophy. See all of our tags here.

Featured in the May 2020 newsletter and the course, " Nibbāna: The Goal of Buddhist Practice."
