What the Buddha Taught, by Theravadin Walpola Rahula, is a widely used introductory book on Buddhism.[1] Using quotes from the sutras, Rahula gives his personal interpretation of what he regards to be Buddhism's essential teachings, including the Four Noble Truths, the Buddhist mind, the Noble Eightfold Path, meditation and mental development, and the world today.[2]
