These study guides grow out of my own path—long term practice and reflection shaped by the early Buddhist teachings. I’m not a teacher, just a student offering what has supported me. The guides explore themes like the Noble Eightfold Path, sammāsati (Right Mindfulness), and questions like What Is Buddhism? I do my best to include references and links to early texts and respected Theravāda teachers, so you can come and see for yourself—ehipassiko. These are not answers, but invitations: to look closely, think deeply, and stay with the teachings in your own time.
