 +The Study Guides below are anthologies of readings that focus on a particular topic or theme, and are designed as aids for individual or group study. The texts are drawn from the Pali canon, teachings of the great Thai forest //ajaans,// and other sources. Unless otherwise indicated, they were prepared and introduced by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
 +
 +Another useful collection of study materials may be found in [[http://dharmafarer.org|Piya Tan's collection of "Sutta Discovery" essays and translations]].
