The Voice of the Buddha

The Dhammapada and Other Key Buddhist Teachings

By: Manjusura - compilation

Narrated by: 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.
