About this listen

Dhammapada means "the path of dharma", the path of harmony and righteousness that anyone can follow to reach the highest good. This classic Buddhist scripture is a collection of vivid, practical verses gathered from direct disciples who wanted to preserve what they had heard from the Buddha himself. Easwaran's translation of this classic Buddhist text is the best-selling translation in the US. In the comprehensive introduction, he brings the story of the young Prince Siddhartha and his heroic spiritual quest vividly to life. His overview of the Buddha's teachings is reliable, penetrating, and accessible. The Buddha rejected superstition on the one hand and philosophical speculation on the other. He taught the path to the end of suffering and showed how we can achieve lasting joy. In The Dhammapada he spells out our choices with a refreshing realism and frankness.

This audiobook is a complete narration of Eknath Easwaran's introduction and translation, but omits the short chapter introductions by other writers.

Author has given a very good background about Buddhism. With that background, his translation and interpretation are easy to understand. Reading is good.

Good for those who is beginning or trying to understand the basics of teachings.of Buddha. But if you already know about Buddha's life story and well versed in his teachings, this can add as a good refresher, nothing more.

Half of the book tells about Buddha's story, other half recites Buddha's Dhammapada verses in English.

Good for beginners

If you're a true spiritual seeker, this book is for you. Buddha doesn't teach us anything about different rituals or about God but shows us a perfect path to end suffering and live a life full of joy.

Loved buddha's way of life!!!

who wants to know whole Buddha teaching collectively in one book then Dhammapad is best. But I expect lot from this book but It can be more deep as like Buddha teaching. I thought it is just a reading.
