In the Buddha's Words

An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon

De: Bhikkhu Bodhi - editor and translator

Narrado por: Fajer Al-Kaisi

This landmark collection is the definitive introduction to the Buddha's teachings - in his own words. The American scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi, whose voluminous translations have won widespread acclaim, here presents selected discourses of the Buddha from the Pali Canon, the earliest record of what the Buddha taught. Divided into 10 thematic chapters, In the Buddha's Words reveals the full scope of the Buddha's discourses, from family life and marriage to renunciation and the path of insight. A concise, informative introduction precedes each chapter, guiding the listener toward a deeper understanding of the texts that follow.

In the Buddha's Words allows even listeners unacquainted with Buddhism to grasp the significance of the Buddha's contributions to our world heritage. Taken as a whole, these texts bear eloquent testimony to the breadth and intelligence of the Buddha's teachings, and point the way to an ancient, yet ever-vital path. Students and seekers alike will find this systematic presentation indispensable.

lo recomendaría

la cosa perfecta para escuchar mientras caminas. narrador fantástico. que es tan repetitivo no me molestó.

Engaging,thought provoking,great guide book.

I found this very easy to digest and put into my mind for contemplating the discourses.
It is an invaluable book which for myself I feel I have to listen too again and possibly again to keep digesting as my knowledge and practice grows.
Fantastic work by Bikkhu Bodhi.

I listened to this book after the 3 Joseph Goldstein Mindfulness volumes. Now I am leaning back towards purchasing a Stephen Batchelor book to further my studies. Or re listening too Rethinking the Dharma for a secular age. Complimented by a Bodhi college
4 noble truths course.

phenomenal and soothing

I enjoyed both the selection and narration. This is worth your time and money. Everything else is shit.

I lend ear to this

Bhikkhu Bodhi's masterful comprehension and sculpting of the Pali Canon into this anthology combined with Fajer Al-Kaisi's calm and concentrated voice and tone reached me in a way I'd describe as nothing short of remarkable. This is one of my first go-to's when mindfulness lapses and I grow negligent and forgetful. Thank you both and all others who worked on this beautiful anthology. Thank you.
