Published By Wisdom Publications (USA)

Heartwood of the Bodhi Tree: The Buddha's Teaching on Voidness (1995) Ajarn Buddhadasa shows how voidness (sunyata) is the heart of every Buddhist teaching and that all paths lead to voidness, if they are truly Buddhist. The simple fact that "nothing is worth clinging to as 'me' or 'mine'" is the most excellent guide to Buddhist practice. Go to publishers website.

Also available in German and Italian.
Korean translation is in the works.

Mindfulness with Breathing: a Manual for Serious Beginners (1996) The system of meditation actually practiced by and most often taught by the Buddha is explained in sufficient detail for intelligent practice but doesn't get bogged down in technical intricacies. Compiled from a series of talks given to Western meditators during a retreat at Suan Mokkh International. Go to publishers website.

Also available in German, Italian, and Korean.
Other languages in the works.
