What is Theravada Buddhism?
Theravada (pronounced — more or less — "terra-VAH-dah"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the Tipitaka, or Pali canon, which scholars generally agree contains the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings. For many centuries, Theravada has been the predominant religion of continental Southeast Asia (Thailand, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, and Laos) and Sri Lanka. Today Theravada Buddhists number well over 100 million worldwide. In recent decades Theravada has begun to take root in the West.

In the discourses the Buddha is often depicted taking up the topic of recitation when explaining to monks the proper way to learn the teachings, and make these teachings the vessel within which their own wisdom can grow.
Dhamma talks by Bhante Dhammavuddho
Many of the audios and videos found on this page are the result of late Luangpor Dhammavuddho’s thousands of hours of study and practice of the Buddha’s Words found in the Sutta and Vinaya.
Luangpor Dhammavuddho has enlivened these Suttas in his talks and made the Dhamma strikingly accessible. The Buddha’s teachings found in the Suttas are invaluable, and no amount of gold can come close to its worth!
The gems are found here, especially in the Sutta talks. Herein lies the heartwood, so to speak.
