Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path

De: Urgyen Sangharaskhita

Narrado por: Kulananda

The Eightfold Path is the most widely known formulation of the Buddha's teaching. It is ancient, reaching back to the Buddha's very first discourse, and it is highly venerated as a unique treasury of wisdom and practical guidance. The teaching of the Eightfold Path challenges us to grasp the implications of that vision, and asks us to transform ourselves in its light. Like the teaching itself, this work covers every aspect of life.

Masterful

Many profound insights contained in this eloquent exposition of the eightfold way. Strong balance of breadth and depth and everyday applicability.

Good insights

This is a good insight into Buddhist beliefs and a good explanation of the precepts. Would be useful for those wishing to pursue these beliefs as well as those studying out of academic curiosity.

Very Insightful

An eye-opener for a beginning practitioner struggling to get on the Path. Profound, comprehensive, logical and concise

Next level of understanding.

Good information. Presented very well. There are many considerations. Nice to have such wise explanations.

Loved!

I really enjoyed being able to listen to this in the car. The reader was quite pleasant.

A Staple of Knowledge

For those interested in buddist teachings, this is an excellent explanation of core buddist beliefs.

Excellent

As an amateur Buddhist student and practitioner I've done a fair amount of study on the topic, and I must say that this audiobook has offered the most clear, interesting, and inspiring explanation of the Noble Eightfold Path that I've come across. The author takes us far beyond the conventional ways in which most of us learn about the path, giving a much more profound (and correct) interpretation of each of the eight steps. I now have a much greater understanding of the path, and of Buddhism itself. I highly recommend this to both students and practitioners of all levels.

A great and transformational work

I have now completed my 2nd full listening of this work, and will start again. After my morning meditation I listen to this work for 15 minutes. In order to fully understand and actualize the teachings as laid out, to follow this path, one must constantly strive to dig deep into this way of approaching life and integrating these teachings into our daily existence in our attempt to live an unconditioned life. This work is a tremendous help in guidance toward that goal.
