June 2014 For those who are interested in reading the teaching of the Buddha directly, I would suggest beginning with the Majjhima Nikaya (Middle Length Discourses) which can also be found online here or here . There are several other resources on the web that can be used as study guides, including Pressing Out Pure Honey  by Sharda Rogell or these talks by Bhikkhu Bodhi. Try reading one periodically, or read one each day.
