[Discussion-AZC] Reading List on the Noble Eightfold Path

[Kojin John Dinsmore]

The theme of our upcoming (like, starting this Saturday) Practice  
Period is the Nobel Eightfold Path. Here is a short reading list on  
this checklist of the elements of a Buddhist life.

In our library:
	The Noble Eightfold Path, Bhikkhu Bodhi, BQ4320.B63.2000. Also found  
on-line here:
		http://www.urbandharma.org/pdf/eightfoldpath.pdf
		http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/bodhi/waytoend.html

	The Wings to Awakening, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, pp.  172-187,  
BQ4302.D44.W56.2004. Also found here:
		http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/thanissaro/wings/ 
part2.html#part2-h

	Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness, Bhante Henepola Gunaratana,  
BQ5612.G74.E5.2001

	The Heart of Buddha's Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh, Part II,  
BQ4230.N53.1999

	What the Buddha Taught, Walpola Rahula, Ch. V, BQ4132.R24.1974

Actually any introductory book on Buddhism is likely to discuss the 8- 
Fold Path if it discusses the Four Noble Truths (the 8-Fold Path is  
the Fourth Noble Truth).

Access to Insight (http://www.accesstoinsight.org/) is a wonderful on- 
line resource for early Buddhist teachings. See the Subject Index  
under "Noble Eightfold Path" here:
