　　(To all Dhamma Comrades, those helping to spread Dhamma:)

　　Break out the funds to spread Dhamma to let Faithful Trust flow, Broadcast majestic Dhamma to radiate long living joy.

　　Release unexcelled Dhamma to tap the spring of Virtue, Let safely peaceful delight flow like a cool mountain stream.

　　Dhamma leaves of many years sprouting anew, reaching out, To unfold and bloom in the Dhamma Centers of all towns.

　　To spread lustrous Dhamma and in hearts glorified plant it, Before long, weeds of sorrow, pain, and affliction will flee.

　　As Virtue revives and resounds throughout Thai society, All hearts feel certain love toward those born, ageing, and dying.

　　Congratulations and Blessings to all Dhamma Comrades, You who share Dhamma to widen the people”s prosperous joy.

　　Heartiest appreciation from Buddhadāsa Indapa..o, Buddhist Science ever shines beams of Bodhi longlasting.

　　In grateful service, fruits of merit and wholesome successes, Are all devoted in honor to Lord Father Buddha.

　　Thus may the Thai people be renowned for their Virtue, May perfect success through Buddhist Science awaken their hearts.

　　May the King and His Family live long in triumphant strength, May joy long endure throughout this our world upon earth.

Their interest is praised and yet recognized as needing guidance. Applying a confused or incorrect version of Buddhism to social confusion and conflict will not do any good. Thus Ajahn Buddhadāsa always has tried to set both young and old straight as to what Buddhism really teaches. He does so by going back to the original principles pointed out by the Lord Buddha, explaining these simply and directly, and showing that their relevance is timeless. Truth is relevant and applicable in ancient India, contemporary Siam, and even the overly developed West.

　　These talks originally were titled “Lak Dhamma Samrab Nak Seuksa (Dhamma Principles For Students.)” A look at the words in this title will clarify the purpose of this book. First, we must understand what is meant by “seuksa” (borrowed from Sanskrit) and “sikkhā” (its Pali counterpart). Thais have used seuksa to translate the English terms “study” and “education,” but modern usage is impovershed in comparison to the or…
