For happiness in this life, the next life, and for ultimate liberation, what must we do? Let us find the answer in the 38 Blessings from the Maṅgalasutta.

In Myanmar, many commentaries on the Maṅgalasutta have been published. Children’s books focus on stories with illustrations. Some authors write with their own interpretations for general readers, while scholarly monks rely closely on the original Aṭṭhakathā.

Venerable Kovida has compiled this book from his extensive reading of more than twenty-five works on the Maṅgalasutta, each over 300 pages. Some of these are rare personal reference copies; others are out-of-print e-books no longer available in bookstores.

For readers, this compilation of the Maṅgalasutta will serve as a pocket wish-fulfilling tree (padesā tree) for practice, teaching, and delivering Dhamma talks.
