Ajahn Brahm is taking a classic text compiled by the Venerable Nyanatiloka titled the “Word of the Buddha” which provides a staged summary of the Buddha Dhamma. But Ajahn Brahm is heavily revising the text to bring it up to date with contemporary English language usage. Ajahn translates the pali sentence by sentence instead of word for word to make it powerful and accessible for us to understand. A link to the translation can be accessed here. Ajahn Brahm has given previous teachings on the Word of Buddha: https://bswa.org/teachings/ Please support the BSWA in making teachings available for free online via Patreon.

Ajahn Vayama discusses sutta 1152 from the Majjhima Nikaya, the collection of middle-length discourses "Indriyabhavana Sutta" - The Development of the Faculties. "A brahmin teacher advocates that purification of the senses consists in simply avoiding seeing and hearing things. The Buddha explains that it is not about avoiding sense experience, but understanding it and learning to not be affected by sense experience.", Sutta Central. Read MN152 on Sutta Central here.
