Product Description
"The Eightfold Path" is the most widely known formulation of the Buddha's teaching. It is ancient, reaching back to the Buddha's very first discourse, and it is highly venerated as a unique treasury of wisdom and practical guidance. The teaching of the "Eightfold Path" challenges us to grasp the implications of that vision, and asks us to transform ourselves in its light. Like the teaching itself, this work covers every aspect of life.

Splendid Audio of the Buddha's Core Teachings September 17, 2008
These CDs are immensely practical and very clearly organized. It's a surprise that they are not more widely purchased.
I have been studying and practicing Buddhism for a few years, so still a beginner, but have read many texts. This is one of my favorite for overall quality and brevity of a pretty complicated religion in many ways.
These CDs are not the "simple Buddhism" often presented in books for Americans, but it is probably as core to the Buddha teachings as possible for a short presentation.
Besides the quality of the material, the fact it is on CD is immensely helpful. These CDs, along with the author's other audio book, are probably the best and only clear presentations of basic Buddhist teachings on audio.
These CDs are worth a lot more than the cost..

This audio book, incorrectly identified as fiction, is the most comprehensive, well explained and literal explanation the the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path to enlightenment that I have ever come across. I have listened to, or read, 8-10 texts on this subject prior to my stumbling onto this audio book. Listening time is about six hours.
Wonderful for Beginning or Advanced Students of Buddhism March 24, 2007

This set of CDs is providing a great summary of some of the basic elements and philosophy behind the 8-fold path. The narrator's soothing voice makes this a true pleasure to listen to, again and again. It is a lot of information, so repeated listening is probably necessary if you truly want to learn about the path. I listen to the CDs in the car or over headphones when taking walks.
