Sayings of the Buddha

The Dhammapada

By: Buddha, Thomas Byron - translator

Narrated by: Jacob Needleman

Like the Tao Te Ching and the Bhagavad-Gita, this sacred text has guided the inner and outer lives of countless people in the art of living and the struggle for inner transformation. According to tradition, the words in The Dhammapada come directly from the mouth of Buddha. This translation in particular is among the most poetic and spiritually insightful. After it is read, Dr. Jacob Needleman presents his own essay, which compares Buddhism to other religions and explains the significance of The Dhammapada in Buddhism.Recording (P)1994 by Audio Literature; Copyright ©1976 by Thomas Byron

Great

This is my favorite translation and recitation of this great text. It is very well done.

Easy to understand!

A beautiful volume to return to again and again. Filled with Virtue and the Way, and flowing like the calmness of the Tao.

Wonderful sayings from the budda!

This audio book is just simply one of the BEST i have ever had the pleasure of listening to. It is HIGHLY recommended, it has plenty of concentrated wisdom of the budda in it. Trust me this audio is good.

Excellent in its wisdom

While The wisdom and sayings are excellent. The reader is dry, mono-tone, and will actually start to put you to sleep.

Excellence

Jacob Needleman is Jesus. This book is quite profound and he's also narrated a version of the Tao Te Ching (also found on Audible). His voice is an oasis and the teachings are Heaven. Must have.
