Buddhism Plain and Simple

De: Steve Hagen

Narrado por: William Hope

The observations and insights of the Buddha are practical and eminently down to earth, dealing exclusively with awareness in the here and now.

Buddhism Plain and Simple offers listeners these fundamental teachings, stripped of cultural trappings that have accumulated around Buddhism over the past 25 centuries. The newcomer will be inspired by the clear, simple principles found in Buddhism Plain and Simple, and those familiar with Buddhism will welcome this long-needed overview.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is the clearest and most precise exposition of Buddhism I have ever read. If you’re looking for enlightenment rather than just scholarly knowledge, you’d better read this." (Robert Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance)

"This is about awareness. Not awareness of something in particular, but awareness itself - being awake, alert, in touch with what is actually happening. It’s about examining and exploring the most basic questions of life. It’s about relying on the immediate experience of this present moment. It’s about freedom of mind." (Steve Hagen)

Extremely Interesting!literally plain and simple.

Dope

great book lots of respect for mr . steve hagen wonderful just wonderful van life

Thrilled this Is Finally an Audiobook

I simply cannot recommend this book enough. In fact, I can't tell you how many copies I've bought and given away over the years, I like it that much.

It was through this wonderful book that Steve Hagen first introduced me to Buddhist philosophy almost two decades ago. Reading it was one of the profoundest experiences of my life. Hagen's down-to-earth writing style managed to convey to me principles easily lost in esoteric scholarly work or painfully vague pop philosophy books. Simply put, this book helped me discover the central truths I live by every day. Rediscovering it now as an audiobook and knowing that this format will make it so that many others who are interested in philosophical Buddhism may discover it as I did is simply wonderful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Life changing book

be awake & live in reality, all of the time. Best book on how we should all live our lives

The title delivers

For someone who has studied and read Buddhism, meditation and mindfulness books over the past several years, this book really does such a great job of distilling the essence of Buddhist principles while separating itself from specific religious institutional underpinnings. It succinctly explains all the major Buddhist concepts in a way for a person at any level of Buddhism/mindfulness knowledge to easily understand. I’ve already started listening to it again, a must read/listen for anyone interested in meditation. 5 of 5 stars!
