Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path

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.

Clear, crisp, concise

The Buddah, of course.

The waistral who learned compassion.

Not really. Too much to absorb. Needed to stop and think about it in portions to better savor it.

Too bad it's not in book format.

It changed our life.

Urgyen knows the path and guided us towards ours.

Kulananda exceptionally delivered a jewel.

Thank you!

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

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

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.

if Buddhists had fightin' words, they would have but one, and it would be, "Hinayana." anyone who refers to any Buddhist path as "Hinayana" demonstrates a lack of awareness not only of Buddhist principles, but of right conduct even for non-Buddhists. to refer to any path as "Hinayana" is to disparage it (however unwittingly - that is, out of however much ignorance). to use that word as a descriptor is to look down one's nose at the path so described, and s/he who looks down her/his nose at anyone else's path demonstrates only that they have very much yet to learn.

of course not.

he's got a lovely, gravelly voice with a nice British (or something) accent. his vocal inflections indicate to me that he might share the author's disdain for some Buddhist paths; this could be because he does, or it could just be because he's a damn good reader. i'm not sure which it is.

i might have cut the disrespectful, disdainful word "Hinayana." but that would probably only have served to mask the author's underlying disrespect and disdain.

i think that about says it.

The information contained within was somewhat new, but presented in a slightly muddled manner.

The story wasn't interesting, although it was slightly informative.

No.

Nothing positive.
