Summary

This treasury of essential Buddhist writings draws from the most popular Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese sources. Among the selections are some of the earliest recorded sayings of the Buddha on the practice of freedom, passages from later Indian scriptures on the perfection of wisdom, verses from Tibetan masters on the enlightened mind, and songs in praise of meditation by Zen teachers. The audiobook also includes traditional instruction on how to practice sitting meditation, cultivate calm awareness, and live with compassion. Jack Kornfield, one of the most respected American Buddhist teachers, has compiled these teachings to impart the essence and inspiration of Buddhism to listeners of all spiritual traditions.

A Dedication and Editor’s Preface are included, narrated by Jack Kornfield.

Sounds like the original Buddha’s teachings, he always explaining things steps by steps, so detailed and logical. With audiobook, it’s just like a Buddha who was whispering to me.

One a day is the Dharma way. You could listen to this in one sitting: which is good. But take one chapter a day to learn the Dharma way. You cant fail to enjoy this. A lot to learn.
