Ajahn Brahm---Sunday Sutta Class (Word of the Buddha---new translation by Ajahn Brahm)---Dhammaloka 2003--present

Sunday Sutta Class from bhikkhuni and bhikkhu sangha at Dhammaloka Centre, Perth, WA.

Sunday Sutta readings and discussions are offered semimonthly (except during Rains Retreat) and usually cover a single sutta or a common topic from different suttas. Sutta classes are available live here. Large archive of sutta classes is also maintained and published regularly here.

Ajahn Brahm is editing a modernised version of the book “Word of the Buddha” by Nyanatiloka Mahathera (first published in 1906) with translations from Bhikkhu Bodhi and with some new renderings of key pali terms. At the time of this post translations are still a work in progress so what you hear during the recording may differ from the pdf version below and from the finalised version, which is planned for release sometime in the future. This course is still in progress and new audio will be added when it becomes available.

The following archive provides a collection of all publicly available sutta classes encoded for easy and mobile friendly access (hour and a half long talks usually do not exceed 15 MB of download).

Added final talk in the series, updated mp3 tags on all :recycle: files.

Has the translation by Ajahn Brahm been updated or is this the final edition here?

The post you linked is older than this post! But the newest comment by @Brahmali was made after the translations posted here, so I guess this is as new as we can get for now. Thank you for doing some other investigation @musiko!
