Los textos fundamentales que sintetizan el pensamiento del budismo, cuidadosamente seleccionados y traducidos. Tras salir de palacio y contemplar los estragos de la enfermedad, la vejez y la muerte, Siddhartha toma la decision de deshacerse de las cadenas que atan a los seres al sufrimiento y convertirse en Buda, el Iluminado. Doscientos años despues de su muerte, sus enseñanzas, sermones, consejos y relatos fueron escritos y recopilados por algunos discipulos tras generaciones de transmision oral. El corazon de su sabiduria es que todos podemos liberarnos de la engañosa servidumbre que nos esclaviza a los apetitos y deseos. Cuando constatamos que toda la existencia es interdependiente, que nada escapa al cambio o que la identidad no descansa en lugar fijo alguno, podemos salir de los estrechos confines del yo y llegar a una nueva manera de relacionarnos con el mundo y con nuestra mente. En los sutras se recogen los fragmentos mas importantes y reveladores de esos antiquisimos textos fundacionales del budismo, la esencia misma de las enseñanzas del Buda tal como el las impartio hace dos mil quinientos años. Dichos fragmentos han sido cuidadosamente revisados para conservar los textos originales con la mayor fidelidad posible.
