Story4.5 out of 5 stars 52
Buddha Standard Time shares one of the great realizations of Buddhism, one that anyone can learn to apply. Buddhist wisdom teaches that the minutes and hours of our days do not simply march from future to present to past---looming, engulfing us, passing us by forever. Rather, each moment is intersected by a fourth dimension, a dimension of timelessness.

Would you consider the audio edition of Buddha Standard Time to be better than the print version?
I bought both. It is so full of great scientific data that to totally grasp it you need to see as well.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Lama Surya Das, the way he weaved the story around his experiences.
What does Peter Berkrot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He is a gifted story tell and he was able to take you to the time and place of each story.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me think. Wow, the Buddha knew this all 5000 years ago.
Any additional comments?
This is a must listen to for anyone wondering about the science of the mind and how it interfaces with the brain and body.
