The Voice of the Buddha

The Dhammapada and Other Key Buddhist Teachings

De: Manjusura - compilation

Narrado por: Kulananda, Anton Lesser, Sean Barrett

The Dhammapada is the single most important extant Buddhist text. It is unquestionably 'the voice of the Buddha' where many of his key ideas are presented in a cogent verse form. It opens: "All that we are is the result of what we have thought", and each of the following sections gives clear guidance on how to change our thought. Also included on this recording are other key Buddhist concepts illustrated by original texts.

Yes. I have read the Dhammapada on my own, but I never got the understanding I did be listening to it being read.

Back to reality

Beautiful.. This is what listen to at work when I need to get back to reality and away from the chaos of conditioned life.

The dhamma is unsurpassed

In this wonderful oration of the Buddhadharma the entire dhammapada and teachings derived from various sutras are voiced. This is an excellent example of a teaching for every Buddhist of all walks of life. An worthy teaching for non Buddhists as well.
