Translated By Gil Fronsdal, foreword by Jack Kornfield In this renowned translation of Buddhism’s most widely read scripture, freshly updated for a new generation of readers, Gil Fronsdal provides extensive explanatory notes and easy-to-understand insight for practice. Whether a practicing Buddhist of any tradition or simply a reader of the world’s literary classics, all will be enriched by this centuries-old wisdom. Here is Gil Fronsdal's overview of what is new in this second edition: "One of the main changes to the translation in the second edition is a greater thoroughness in using gender-neutral pronouns. The original Pali only uses male pronouns. In the first edition, while most of these are conveyed with neutral pronouns, in some paired verses I used male pronouns for one verse and female ones for the other. In this current edition, I have rendered all of these in gender-neutral language. Other changes result from a newer—and hopefully improved—understanding of the original Pali words. For anyone interested in these changes, the most noteworthy are those in verses 3, 4, 153–154, 221, 266, 275, and 367."
