Publisher's summary

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.

Theravada

Follows the basic teachings of Buddhism. Which are my base and refuge. Uncomplicated and just what the doctor ordered to answer life in it's many generalities.

Straight Forward Readings

If you could sum up The Voice of the Buddha in three words, what would they be?

Audio quality was very good and the readings are of course the same here as in print. I keep this one downloaded on my mobile and listen from time to time for some inspiration. Recommeded.

The dhamma is unsurpassed

In this wonderful oration of the Buddhadharma the entire dhammapada and teachings derived from various sutras are voiced. This is an excellent example of a teaching for every Buddhist of all walks of life. An worthy teaching for non Buddhists as well.

repetitive and boring

find another interpretation than this one. I know the original scriptures are written in a somewhat poetic way, but this one is just annoying
