The Buddha in the Jungle by Kamala Tiyavanich

This is a book of history, anthropology, and Buddhist teachings, and is delightfully easy and fun to read."

The author, a former American journalist, lived in Chiang Mai for many years before his untimely death in 1995. His views are based on extensive reading on the sources of Buddhism, intensive interviews with senior and knowledgeable monks, plus his own religious participation and observations. |

Little Angels by Phra Peter Pannapadipo
The stories of twelve Thai novice monks Phra Peter shed light on the little-known world of Thai novice monks in his latest title: Little Angels. The author begins with the public perception of "nehn", then explains the rules to which they are supposed to adhere while going through their daily activities. Such factual accounts, meant to provide readers with background understanding, are enlivened with amusing anecdotes of the kind which have become Phra Peter's trademark. The message that Phra Peter tries to get across, however, is the "human face" of Thai Buddhism as subtly shown in the real lives of each individual novice featured in the book. |

Good Morning Buddha by Phra Peter Pannapadipo
Buddha--a fully-awakened one--is not confined to the altar, immortalized in bronze or gold, remote and untouchable. The qualities that make a Buddha do not come from out there but are already within each of us. To uncover them, it is necessary to make the practice of Buddhism part of our everyday life, the basis of our every thought, word and action. |

Jewels within the Heart by Laurence-Khantipalo Mills

Unlike most English translations of the Dhammapada, this work is a poetic rendition of verse into verse while preserving the original meaning. An introduction to the Buddha's teachings precedes the verse translation. |
