As Ajahn Sumedho himself commented, 'The book is meant to be suggestions of ways to investigate conscious experience. The aim of the editors in compiling this book has been explicitly to maintain the style and spirit of the spoken word. This book is a small sample of the talks that Ajahn Sumedho offered during the winter retreat of 2001. Lastly, the book discusses happiness, unhappiness and Nibanna. The first section describes what taking the Three Refuges in the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha means and the second section is composed of passages from three or four different talks on the subject of Mindfulness of Breathing. This small book represents the wish of some of those fortunate enough to have received Dhamma teachings from Venerable Ajahn Sumedho to share them with others. The teaching is conveyed through the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, first expounded in 528 BC in the Deer Park at Sarnath near Varanasi, India and kept alive in the Buddhist world ever since. This booklet was compiled and edited from talks given by Venerable Ajahn Sumedho on the teaching of the Buddha: that the unhappiness of humanity can be overcome through spiritual means. The Four Noble Truths are the central Teaching of the Buddha. For more translations of 'Good Question, Good Answer', please visit: PDF Doc.
