Mahakaccana Master of Doctrinal Exposition – Ven Bhikkhu Bodhi Thero

Mahā Kaccāna was one of the Buddha’s foremost disciples with a special skill of being able to explain in detail the meaning of brief utterances of the Buddha. This 46-page booklet offers a short biography of the Ven. Mahā Kaccāna, followed by a survey of the discourses ascribed to him in the Pāli Canon.

“It was on the basis of such skills that the Enlightened One named him the foremost master of doctrinal exposition, and it is this that constitutes his outstanding contribution to the Buddha’s Dispensation.” (p. 46)
