This volume presents Bhikkhu Anālayo's studies of discourses from the Ekottarika-āgama, a numerically arranged Chinese collection whose translator and school affiliation remain a matter of scholarly discussion, and which appears to preserve material later in date than the other Āgamas. The chapters translate and compare discourses drawn mainly from the Majjhima-nikāya and Saṃyutta-nikāya, alongside several from the Aṅguttara-nikāya, the Sutta Nipāta, the Therīgāthā, and the Apadāna, examining themes such as fear and dread in solitary practice, the lion's roar of confidence in the Dhamma, the merging of originally distinct discourses in transmission, and the collection's unusual number of stories about nuns. Three appendices explore the collection's Mahāyāna, Hīnayāna, and Theravāda elements respectively.
