Reddit mentions of For a Future to Be Possible: Buddhist Ethics for Everyday Life

I am hesitant to add more to the bibliography as it is growing rapidly with great sources and ideas. My two cents are that TMI is unique in how it integrates classical sources and modern theories and then presents them in an accessible and practical way. We can do the hard work that Culadasa and his co-authors did with going straight to the primary sources. The challenge is that these are ancient texts that sometimes hard for those of us without sufficient background in the culture and native languages.

Culadasa heavily relies on Asanga, especially as outlined by Kamalaśila in his Bhāvanākrama (here https://www.scribd.com/doc/81456034/Kamalashila-Bhavanakrama is one of the translations. You can also check the Dalai Lama's commentary titled "Stages of Meditation: The Buddhist Classic on Training the Mind." Culadasa also relies on the classical Theravāda manual by Buddhaghosa "The Path of Purification" (https://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/nanamoli/PathofPurification2011.pdf). There are others, but if you would like to follow Culadasa's sources, these are two excellent places to start.

The complementary aspect that the TMI does not dwell on is the rich Buddhist ethical teachings. Here two excellent books to begin with are Thich Nhat Hanh's "For the Future to be Possible: Buddhist Ethics for Everyday Life" https://www.amazon.com/Future-Be-Possible-Buddhist-Everyday/dp/1888375663. Or the Dalai Lama's Ethics for the New Millennium.

I hope it helps. I would say that I find the TMI well organized and indispensable to my practice. I intend to keep using it pragmatically and continue cultivating the moral teachings that are indispensable to the path.
