Tomorrow, the full-moon day of Thursday 12th January is the anniversary of the Buddha's Parinibbāna. If you want to know why it is tomorrow, and not in May, read my Exposition of the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta.

I updated it after fixing a few typos, and other minor edits. It still needs some more work, but that will have to wait for another day.

I have updated my Introduction to Kamma with some illustrations from the Canon (not relying on the Commentaries, of which there are many examples in the Dhammapada and Jātaka Commentaries).

The War on Error was updated on 9/11/18 with a new section on The Right to Cause Offence

Perhaps someone could start a thread discussing the value of patience?

Observing the Uposatha

In the Uposatha Sutta of the Gradual Sayings, Book of Threes, the Buddha teaches his leading female lay disciple, Visākhā, about the three kinds of Uposatha Observance, while dwelling at the monastery donated by her.

Would it be possible to upload a zip archive of all the books / articles to download at once? I don't know how many MB it would take up, but I'd imagine it couldn't be over 100. I'd be willing to put it on my box.com account as a backup and put a link in this thread.

I regularly update the PDF files, so any archive could soon become out of date. I don't allow anyone to host the content for that reason, and providing an archive would make it easier for those who do not care about copyrights. If anyone visits the site, they will always get the most recent version.

I have recently updates all of my books.

Number typos and broken links have been fixed, and the quality of the PDF files have been improved.
