# Theravada

## Recommended Books

* [The Dhammpada](/buddhism/theravada/dhammapada.md) -

  I think Dhammapada is one of the best books to get a flavour of Buddhism for

  someone completely new to (Theravada) Buddhism.
* [What the Buddha Taught](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/390562.What_the_Buddha_Taught)
* [Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1220952.Satipa_h_na)
