Title: The Great Spring Subtitle: Writing, Zen, and This ZigZag Life Author: Natalie Goldberg Narrator: Natalie Goldberg Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-15-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: What does it take to have a long writing life? Drawing on her years of writing, teaching, and practicing Zen, Natalie Goldberg shares the experiences that have opened her to new ways of being alive - experiences that point the way forward in our lives and our writing. The "great spring" of this book title refers to the great rush of energy that arrives when you think no life will ever come again - the early yellow flowering forsythia, for example. It also refers to enlightenment: obstructions shatter, pain cracks open, previously resisted truth releases, an acceptance of transiency flows through. Natalie Goldberg shares the moments that have sprung from her own life of writing, teaching, and Zen practice - moments of searching, wandering, zigzagging, losing, and leaping where she has found herself and her voice. In this audio, we watch as Natalie "makes positive effort for the good" - one of the guiding rules of her writing life - and we see that if we can stay attentive in our lives, even in the middle of the ruins, "we can hear the sound of a songbird in a Paris chestnut tree". Whether we know if the song comes from inside us or out doesn't matter. 13 of the 22 essays in the book have been previously published (often in a different form). Those publications include Yoga Journal, Shambhala Sun, Five Points, and Creative Nonfiction. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Natalie Goldberg) Fri, 15 Jul 2016 23:34:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Great-Spring-Audiobook/B01IFASWC4 thebookvoice.com 07:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Obstructions Shatter The author of the excellentWriting Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within (Shambhala Library)and several other books pens a thoughtful look back at decades of Zen training. Itâs good. But itâs a book about a person who sits a lot of meditation, not a book about writing or a full autobiography. The writing, word after word, is wonderful. Sparse yet meaningful. Original thoughts on timeless truths. Too bad there isnât more of a story arc here, or thoughts on writing. Itâs partly a collection of previously published articles, and sometimes it shows. The title refers to enlightenment, coming alive after the frozen winter. âObstructions shatter. Pain cracks open. The previously resisted truth releases. An acceptance of transiency flows through.â The author says that compared to Bones, this is âa more mature knowing, saying in an even clearer, more experienced what is important.â And it is. For people who enjoyed Bones, or have sat a lot of Zen, her words will resonate. Itâs a worthwhile trip around Zen centers in Japan and the States. A well-written well-developed meditation. For others, Iâd try Bones or some other books first. Oh, and it includes some wonderful poems. Often I ask: Was it worth it To dedicate yourself so completely? The answer No Then I remember: I saw inside the night sky. (I hope you find this review useful.) Didn't Disappoint Anyone who loves Goldberg's work will enjoy this collection of essays. They were thought provoking and beautifully written. I am glad I read this book. Five Stars One of the most insightful writing teachers I've found. Five Stars another good offering from Natalie.

Members Reviews: Excellent review of basic Tao precepts Mr Hawthorn preformed brilliantly in conveying the illusory theme of the Tao Te Ching in an understandable fashion . One of my favorite translations I find this translation clear of the most Nigel Hawthorn's narration adds to the charm of the translation. Sound sound! Excellent reading by Nigel Hawthorne, well worth getting. An easy to listen to voice giving a fine interpretation of ancient words of wisdom. classic - well narrated If you could sum up The Tao Te Ching in three words, what would they be? Very abstract, but have listened to it many time. Shame it is abridged Who was your favorite character and why? Those who speak, do not know, Those who know, do not speak. What does Nigel Hawthorne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Great actor, gives a very good performance of a classic text classic recording of a national treasure excellent performance of superb translation of immortal wisdom teaching - always loved it, always will https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Way-of-Zen-Audiobook/B002UZK1FC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If so, why? This audio presention is a bit of a smorgasboard drawn from rediscovered note and lectures given by Alan Watts in the 1950s & 1960s. This may sound dated, but alongside Shunru Suzuki, Alan Watts was one of the first to introduce the west to Zen & Taoism. His teaching is clear and concise (for the Western mind) and will point you effortlessly towards the spacious beingness at the heart of zen. Alan Watts was one of the "great minds" that ushered in the flowering of consciousness of the 1960s, so these precious mini-lectures are straight from the (western) source of the spring. Recommended to anyone who wants an overview of Zen, or just wants more Zen in their life, or just needs reminding that this "thusness" is always there, fresh and eternal. What aspect of Ralph Blums performance would you have changed? Could read a little more spaciously. Half way ah-ha! At first I wasn't sure if this book was for me. As I read along I kept thinking 'I can't do this. I can't sit still. I can't sit in a lotus position for hours on end waiting for enlightenment to happen' and as the book progressed I realized I am an active meditating person. I meditate when I walk. I meditate when I am doing chores. I meditate when I knit. I know because I'm finding myself in the moment and not concerned with what is next or what has passed. By the end of the book I felt far more relaxed and comfortable with the topic. Interesting read. ok last chapter is the only one to really to listen to you get all the info from his old videos on YouTube Enlightening Alan Watts is great. love his stuff and that includes this book. Great for those looking for more peaceful life. Cuts through the barriers to zen. It's difficult to explain an experiential state in words, but Alan Watts is at least able to point in the right direction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Nagarjunas-Tree-of-Wisdom-Audiobook/B00CLFKR7S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Nagarjuna's Tree of Wisdom Subtitle: A Translation Author: Dennis Waller, Nagarjuna Narrator: Michael Scherer Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-13 Publisher: dennis waller Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Tree of Wisdom is about the love you find and how you share it with others. It's about how you're going to spend your time, about the give-and-take, and how we treat each other. It's all about the friends you make. It's all about the choices you make. It's on the importance of forgiving and being forgiven. To live a life that is pure in faith and heart. To strive to stay on the path. To find the way of the masters that have gone before us. To recognize the path that they forge for us and the wisdom to see it. All of our lives we have pretended and hidden our feelings from others. We have tried hard to believe that there is this distance between us. In this misperception, we thought we could find comfort in isolation. But this comfort is fleeting when the soul speaks up in a longing for something more meaningful. It's about how to stop pretending and start being true to yourself. It's about stopping to make excuses and taking responsibility for your actions. All of our life has been a struggle in trying to be free but the reality is the life you have created has been all about you. This is because you have allowed your ego to rule over you. In this realization comes a sense of freedom, a release from your self-imposed prison. When you have the key, you can unlock the doors of this dungeon and step into the light of the divine love of the way. Once in the light, you'll see that we all are brothers and sisters, all part of something bigger than we can imagine. In this oneness, there is a liberation of knowing that life and death are only illusions. Yes, the Tree of Wisdom contains this timeless knowledge for those who quest for it, that have a thirst for the cool waters of the fountain of life. The Tree of Wisdom by Nagarjuna is a treatise on morals and ethics written over 2,000 years ago. This commentary on moral living is very similar to other text such as the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, the Hsin Hsin Ming by Seng Ts'an, the Enchiridion by Epictetus, and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. It's remarkable that this is only the second English translation of this ancient text from this incredible Indian philosopher. The first translation into English was done by W.L. Campbell in 1918. At the time of Campbell's translation, there was so already much lost to history in the allegories that the meaning couldn't be extrapolated for all the verses. This version has been interpreted into a more modern new age style yet it still possess the essence of the message that Nagarjuna implied. I prefer to use the word interpretation over the word translation as this is more of a rendering constructed to clarify the meaning in such a way that it is easy to grasp the concepts. However, there are a few verses that have been left in the original Campbell translation as their relevance hasn't changed. The primary difference between the Tree of Wisdom and the Tao Te Ching is the Tree of Wisdom takes a more "matter of fact" practical approach to life where the Tao Te Ching is more spiritual and esoteric. Both texts have the same basic underlying principles, they are just different paths to the same goal. The text itself consists of 260 verses containing just over 8,000 words. In the tradition of Buddhism, there are a few verses that will leave you confused. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dennis Waller) Thu, 02 May 2013 00:19:17 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Nagarjunas-Tree-of-Wisdom-Audiobook/B00CLFKR7S thebookvoice.com 01:18:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: How to Practice Dharma Subtitle: Teachings on the Eight Worldly Dharmas Author: Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Gordon McDougall (editor) Narrator: Subhash Mandal Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Buddhism is a house full of treasures practices for gaining the happiness of future lives, the bliss of liberation and the supreme happiness of enlightenment but knowing the difference between Dharma and non-Dharma practices is the key that opens the door to all those treasures.

Members Reviews: Listen to this audio more than once! At first I found Thurman's discourse uneven and disconnected. After listening to the audio several times I realized he was unpacking several Buddhist writers in a way that fit together brilliantly. If one wants an audio listen to with patience and diligence one's effort will likely produce an invaluable awareness of emptiness. The audio is like s fine price of music. Each listen strikes a different tone even down to a sudden eye opener with a single sentence that had been passed over several times before, Highly intelectual approch to Buddhism Would you consider the audio edition of Buddhist Theory of Relativity to be better than the print version? Better, its better to hear Robert Thurman deliver his presentation live, with all his incredible energy and insight What did you like best about this story? Some brilliant insights Which scene was your favorite? His powerful critique of contemporary rationalistic materialism which has remain unchanged since Sir Issac Newton, despite the extraordinary evolution of thought brought about by Quantum physics that directly correlate with Buddhist thought but the ' Carl Sagan" world of " nothing" prevails..why? Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Some of Roberts Thurman's descriptions of certain meditative states Any additional comments? Robert Thurman waxes and wanes , sometimes flashes of pure brilliance, sometimes long pedantic intellectual descriptions of certain mind states. His ironclad " critique" about our present scientific materialism about " nothingness" prevails once again. Pointing out how contemporary science remains "stuck "in a Newtonian world of " things and objects".. that the scientific community itself is not even up to speed with the theory of relativity and quantum physics which re-introduces the value of the observer into the equation. To which the Buddha had long understood how there is no " separate intrinsic object" but an infinite chain of inter-dependencies ,relationships that cannot exist in a " vacuum of separateness " How we can become confused about realty by how language is used. Like he says. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Making-the-World-We-Want-Audiobook/B018GO36UW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Bob Thurman is a space wizard angel He's like Dumbledore and Madeye Moody in one. Besides the mad wisdom he spits with a distinctive flair, he also has a magical glass eye that can peer into the infinite. He's like best buds with Buddha, constantly name dropping famous friends like Jesus, Brahma, and a million billion bodhisattvas of every imaginable creed. He humbly suggests we wake the hell up. But includes a lot of really good reasons for doing so. I am very pleased with this purchase. Every recording of bob I've heard is solid gold. And he's uma thurmans dad. Like what?! What kind of checkered past might eventually reemerge is yet to be seen. He might be forced to end his path of pacifism and take up the sword again. Can we look forward to a hilarious translation of the Art of War someday? I doubt it. Enjoy this powerful call for activism towards sanity and peace and loving kindness instead. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhism-Learn-the-Enlightenment-That-Brings-Peace-Happiness-Mindfulness-Meditation-Zen-Audiobook/B077NM8XMK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book talks about Nirvana, which practically means it is an experience where one neither feels any suffering, desire, nor sense of self and we being the suubject, are released from the effects of karma.Also, Mindfullness and Zen are also explained and how we can integrate it in our way of life.This book of Zeus Milton is indeed a good read. Know more about Buddhism Buddhism is a very good topic to read because it tackles lots of things and it connected to Buddhism. I want to learn more about Buddhism because of what it can bring to us that is why I have this book now. This book imparted me with the knowledge about the history of Buddhism and the noble eight fold path. I understand a little the meditation in this book because some of the explanation is not that explained very well like in the other topics. this book is a good combination of mindfulness and Buddhism Overall, this book is a good combination of mindfulness and Buddhism. The author included ways to meditate, poses while meditating, how to meditate, and how Buddhism can influence your professional and personal life. The author is clearly an expert when it comes to Buddhism and readers can benefit a lot from him. Overall, this was a great guide and I am sure that this is the go to book for anyone looking to start practicing Buddhism. The way to sustained happiness. This is an absorbing book to date. Iâve tried several techniques to attain that inner peace Iâm longing for but sadly I wasnât successful in doing so. Now I decided to give this Buddhism guide book a chance as I have read positive feed backs from the others. Itâs an alternative technique thatâs worth trying out. The guide questions are helping me out. power of buddhism Buddhism is not just about spirituality but according to me its a way of life to make your life stronger, longer and happier by eliminating the negativities and incorporating mindfulness and positivity.

Title: Essence of Buddhism Subtitle: An Introduction to Its Philosophy and Practice Author: Traleg Kyabgon Narrator: Paul Ansdell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 12-09-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This lucid overview of the Buddhist path takes the perspective of the three "vehicles" of Tibetan Buddhism: the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. While these vehicles are usually presented as a historical development, they are here equated with the attitudes that individuals bring to their Buddhist practice. Basic to them all, however, is the need to understand our own immediate condition. The primary tool for achieving this is meditation, and The Essence of Buddhism serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice. Beginning with the Four Noble Truths, Traleg Rinpoche incorporates the expansive vision of the bodhisattva path and the transformative vision of Tantra. The final chapters present the transcendent view of Mahamudra. This view dispenses with all dualistic fixations and directly realizes the natural freedom of the mind itself. Along the way, the author provides vivid definitions of fundamental concepts such as compassion, emptiness, and Buddha-nature, and answers common questions: Why does Buddhism teach that there is "no self"? Are Buddhist teachings pessimistic? Does Buddhism encourage social passivity? What is the role of sex in Buddhist Tantra? Why is it said that "samsara is nirvana"? Does it take countless lifetimes to attain enlightenment, or can it be achieved in a moment? biacuaduc@gmail.com (Traleg Kyabgon) Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:39:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Essence-of-Buddhism-Audiobook/B00NT7J368 thebookvoice.com 07:28:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Along the way, the author provides vivid definitions of fundamental concepts such as compassion, emptiness, and Buddha-nature, and answers common questions: Why does Buddhism teach that there is "no self"? Are Buddhist teachings pessimistic? Does Buddhism encourage social passivity? What is the role of sex in Buddhist Tantra? Why is it said that "samsara is nirvana"? Does it take countless lifetimes to attain enlightenment, or can it be achieved in a moment?

Title: Essence of Buddhism Subtitle: An Introduction to Its Philosophy and Practice Author: Traleg Kyabgon Narrator: Paul Ansdell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 12-09-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This lucid overview of the Buddhist path takes the perspective of the three "vehicles" of Tibetan Buddhism: the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. While these vehicles are usually presented as a historical development, they are here equated with the attitudes that individuals bring to their Buddhist practice. Basic to them all, however, is the need to understand our own immediate condition. The primary tool for achieving this is meditation, and The Essence of Buddhism serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice. Beginning with the Four Noble Truths, Traleg Rinpoche incorporates the expansive vision of the bodhisattva path and the transformative vision of Tantra. The final chapters present the transcendent view of Mahamudra. This view dispenses with all dualistic fixations and directly realizes the natural freedom of the mind itself. Along the way, the author provides vivid definitions of fundamental concepts such as compassion, emptiness, and Buddha-nature, and answers common questions: Why does Buddhism teach that there is "no self"?

Compared to other books, by other people, he has been the most comprehensive. Subjects that I have learned about from other authors have been explained again, leaving me with a deeper understanding of the topic that I did before. I hope to find more by him. Excellent. Excellent introduction to Buddhism by a Tibetan guru. It covers and ties in the key aspects and teachings from the three main vehicles, Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vahjrayana traditions, and brings in elements from some unique and enlightening schools (i.e., Mahamudra). Portions of the instruction may be difficult to understand for some beginners, but don't worry. Buddhism is so rich that this happens to all of us no matter at what level we consider ourselves to be at. Making notes of those sections that may be unknown helps to later do more research on. The audio book is also great because it places the different teachings within their own context, and it stays on each subject just about the right amount of time so that it moves forward building on what was previously discussed. Good introduction to buddism Interesting listening, good explanation of the subject, detailed but not too complicated, worth hearing again. Well written and narration was excellent. This is the best book on Buddhism I have read What made the experience of listening to Essence of Buddhism the most enjoyable? The reader is totally consumed by the precise details of the authors description for those discovering Buddhism it is very informative What did you like best about this story? Everything Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It was so informative and enjoyable to listen to A return to the classroom. This book reminded me of boring college lecturers. It covered a ton of material, but it was difficult for me to get through. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Living-Well-Dying-Well-Audiobook/B017HJ1ZCI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ramblings, Ramblings, Ramblings You can buy Sogyal Rinpoche's excellent book but don't waste money on any of his tapes. He just rambles on aimlessly and pointlessly in the tapes. When he starts to say something important he starts to mumble and talk fast. He is mostly into telling jokes and being entertaining. Save your money especially on this one. This is even worse than his eight audio CD set. A Waste of Money I had read "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying." I bought this CD assuming it would add something to the book, but it didn't even manage to bring out the ideas that were in the book. It was just a speech. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't buy it. An uplifting reminder of some of the tenents and virtues of Tibetan Buddhism This audio program is a great reminder of the philosophies and teachings in the book The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and of Tibetan Buddhism in general. I have listened to this program hundreds of times over more than twenty years; this program reminds us of how to begin to understand death and its relation to living a good life for yourself and for those around you. There are many facets of Tibetan Buddhism discussed in this audio and for the "uninitiated" it will seem like many sort of disconnected thoughts, but in fact, they all are part of a greater whole. If you know very little of Tibetan Buddhism, this audio program will be an introduction, but even so, progressive thinkers will begin to understand and utilize the logical and provocative ideas presented. And, you do not need to be a practitioner, or a religious person for that matter, to take benefit. Living, Dying and Laughing Well It is a wonderful "light" meditation to listen to Sogyal Rinpoche. I gave this CD to my father who does not have a compliment for most things and he was pleased!!!!!!! Living well dying well by sogyal rinpoche I loved this CD. A nice light teaching and I love Sogyal's humour and his laughter. You will enjoy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Shiva-Mantra-Magick-Audiobook/B01MYR3P0E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Shiva Mantra Magick Subtitle: Harnessing The Primordial Author: Baal Kadmon Narrator: Baal Kadmon Format: Unabridged Length: 57 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-16 Publisher: Baal Kadmon Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Shiva is one of the most mysterious gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil and fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja, or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution. He is by far one of the most ancient of the Hindu gods, there are hints of him in the Vedas, and this form is often called "proto-Shiva". In his current incarnation he is part of the Hindu Trinity that is comprised of the gods Brahma and Vishnu. Shiva's name means "the auspicious one". Shiva is the god of creation, destruction, and regeneration. It is for this reason his mantras are so powerful; they are multipurpose and can serve the magician in any way he or she sees fit. Although most deities that I work with are female, Shiva is the only exception. He has been my patron for decades. I even have a tattoo of his image on my back. He is very close to me. Often Shiva is associated with unbridled sexuality, eccentricity, and nirvanic states. He has all these within himself. He is no doubt a figure that would be interpreted in the west as the embodiment of all that is evil, sinful, and dark. This reputation is not helped by the fact many of his followers are known to perform actions that are often shocking and even downright lewd. They do this not because they are degenerates, but because they are trying to prove a point. In many ways, Shiva is the god of the outcasts. Shiva will challenge you in ways other gods will not. He will force you to go deep into your nature. If you are not introspective, Shiva will and can be a nightmare for you. He will force you to break open. His mantras are often recited when people need help. All problems you may have, be they physical, mental or spiritual he can help you. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Baal Kadmon) Mon, 28 Nov 2016 08:20:40 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Shiva-Mantra-Magick-Audiobook/B01MYR3P0E thebookvoice.com 00:57:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Great Book Review Another Great book by Mr. Kadmon. Makes the subject easy to understand. Packed with information I found this book to be very knowledgeable and helpful. Like all of his books, this one is packed with easy to find information and blended to a user's magickal system and purpose. Witchcraft This isn't Hinduism. Hindus are spiritual, strive for enlightenment, not magick for selfish of this physical world needs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Feng-Shui-Audiobook/B075QMG8WC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Frances Vaughan, author of The Inward Arc) Members Reviews: Simple and elegant Sylvia Boorstein wrote (and delivered) one of the most simple, elegant books on living zen. In a concise but interesting way she tells you how to follow Buddha's teachings and why following them makes your life work. good content; poor audio quality I mistook this for Boorstein's later Audible release, Happiness is an Inside Job. While this older audiobook is an engaging, accessible introduction to Buddhism, the older download format (2)(at least my download) made Boorstein sound as if she narrated while undergoing dental work. Audible, can't you convert this older format? The book is still a worthy a listen. Do you have 10 stars? Her manner of speaking is such an easy way to listen.....I never wavy it to end Great beginner's book on Buddhism What made the experience of listening to It's Easier than You Think the most enjoyable? It's easy to understand, clearly laid out with lots of examples to clarify the principals. The author does a very nice job reading her book. Her style is warm and conversational with gentle humor. I enjoyed every word, and I was able to apply some of the practices right away. I would like to read it again to help me to remember the teachings and to help me put them into practice. Any additional comments? The writing was wonderful and the performance was great. My only issue was with the recording quality. The sound was quite muffled. This forced me to have to pay close attention to be able to understand what was being said. I find it humorous and ironic that I am writing that, because the whole point of the book is that we would suffer less if we could learn to pay attention and really work to understand what is being said. So I am not complaining about that, but I think it will be helpful to other listeners if they know this is the case. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Sayings-of-the-Buddha-Audiobook/B002V8MRQE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The reader is dry, mono-tone, and will actually start to put you to sleep. Wonderful sayings from the budda! This audio book is just simply one of the BEST i have ever had the pleasure of listening to. It is HIGHLY recommended, it has plenty of concentrated wisdom of the budda in it. Trust me this audio is good. A Dhammapada That Speaks Directly to the Heart This audio version of the Dhammapada is a personal, intimate one and speaks directly to the deepest level of the human heart as none of the more expensive versions I've read or sampled on Audible have thus far. Don't let the relatively short duration, low price tag and sparse fan fare fool you, this is a profoundly executed Dhammapada that is classic in simplicity and sticks to the essentials of the original text, skipping the commentary temptations that sound like a good idea, but on audio do not serve much purpose when reaching for a meditational aid like this. Jacob Needleman has a penetrating voice that can move one to tears just from the poignancy and conviction of Needleman's personable, moving baritone delivery, which has the power to make the listener feel that he IS the Buddha at times. His voice sounds very compassionate as it reveals the timelessly fragmentary and simple recipe to inner peace. Perfect This collection of teachings wastes no words. I will listen to this audiobook over and over again without a doubt. The reader's voice is perfect for such a book, as it doesn't distract the listener in any way and allows one to focus solely on the words being read. I have a relatively large library of audiobooks and this is up there with the best audiobook experiences I've had yet. I'm glad I chose it. Great I think the reader sounds fine and the material comes across very clearly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Review-and-Analysis-of-Alan-Wattss-The-Wisdom-of-Insecurity-Audiobook/B076116RXZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This book is a good resource for those individuals who have little to no ... This book is a good resource for those individuals who have little to no experience with Buddhism, introducing many concepts and practices in an easy to understand format. This book can also serve as a good starting reference point for longer term Buddhist practitioners to begin exploration of different issues, concepts, and practices relevant to the path. When I'm irritated or have a mind in chaos that can't otherwise focus (especially not long enough to read a book) I can open this book anywhere, start read anything and be reminded of where I want to be. This is a highly recommended read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Feng-Shui-Express-Audiobook/B01H0RZZV4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Huh, what such nonsense is this? Sounds far-fetched doesn't it? Don't be hasty to jump to ignorant bliss just yet! You know how people say that your environment can influence a person? Well, the Chinese believes there is much more to it and that it affects your success, happiness, and health as well. There are energies around us that govern events within our lives favorably or unfavorably; however, you can enhance the positive energy and repeal the negative one, thus turning bad fortune into good fortune. This is what the Chinese considers to be the work of Feng Shui, which has been around for thousands of years. What is Feng Shui? If this is the first time you've heard of this word, Feng Shui is basically a system of altering the environment harmoniously to one's being for the maximum flow of life energy - what the Chinese called "chi".

Members Reviews: Feng Shui Learning has just got ridiculously easy and fun! I am always looking for ideas on how to rearrange my home and office into a positive environment, lifting me up when I feel the most drained and stressed out. I have purchased Feng Shui textbooks in the past, leaving me even more confused and overwhelmed than ever before. I was about to give up until I have read this book. Why havenât Iâve read this years ago? Felicia Lau, was able to explain the basic principles and tips about Feng Shui, in the most simplistic and engaging manner for beginners. Allowing you to tap into the power of Feng Shui on your own without âyears of studyâ or a âdegreeâ. These tips are easy to follow and straightforward. She adds humor and excitement to the text, grabbing your attention and craving for more information without making you fall sleep. You are given step-by-step directions and well-illustrated images on how to improve the flow of energy by optimizing the layout of your home or office space. This is a great guide to helping you transform your vision into a layout you will benefit the most out of, using colors, objects, and giving you the option to choose a western or traditional Feng Shui style. Once this layout is set into place, you are able to attract positive energy into your environment and making it last for a long time. I have implemented these tips from this book into to my work space, and I already can feel the difference. My layout is exactly how I have envisioned, a sanctuary where I can destress and become happy and productive. This text is well-suited for those who may not know all the traditional Feng Shui remedies and cures, and this offers alternatives to remedies that you may have around the house or can get at a nearby store. Excellent for the visual learner and well-worth the purchase! Perfect reference Iâve never been all that interested in Feng Shui. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Karma-Audiobook/B00B7N9TPQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Of the many Eastern wisdom teachings to have found their way westward, the notion of karma may be the most misunderstood - and most transformative. American-born teacher Pema Chödrön is renowned for making the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism accessible, practical, and relevant for Westerners from all walks of life. But to bring us an understanding of the fundamental concept of karma, Ani Pema called on one of her own guides. On Karma, she is joined by Dzigar Kongtrül Rinpoche to present a 2 part teaching session on this challenging subject. What is karma? Is it superstition? Do you have to believe in reincarnation to understand it? How do I get rid of "bad" karma? In a dialogue both illuminating and provocative, Pema and Kongtrül Rinpoche address the most common questions of Western students, discussing karma on the level of the individual, relationships, and the community and world at large. Session 2 then brings us an inspirational dharma talk with Dzigar Kongtrül Rinpoche, exploring the roots of positive and negative karma, how your "good heart" will shape this life and the next, service versus self-attachment, and much more. A mature view of karma empowers us to steer our lives through conscious choice rather than conditioned behaviors. Karma gives us a guiding light for living life at the level of cause, not effect, with responsibility and compassion. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche) Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:24:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Karma-Audiobook/B00B7N9TPQ thebookvoice.com 02:04:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It doesn't make resonate with me the way Rinpoche was describing it. It also was frustrating because Pema Chodron seemed to not be able to speak as much as she should have. She seemed uncomfortable. Would you ever listen to anything by Pema Chödrön and Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche again? Just Pema Chodron. What didnt you like about Pema Chödrön and Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche s performance? It was a little difficult to understand but more importantly seemed anachronistic and out of touch, as though one needed to adopt a belief system when presented in this way. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Good to see the contrast between Rinpoche and Pema Chodron. It made me appreciate Pema Chodron much more. Any additional comments? It was unsettling and confusing. It's not that I don't believe in karma; it's jus that this approach felt contrived. Excellent Excellent !!

Title: Siddhartha Author: Hermann Hesse Narrator: Derek Jacobi Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 126 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This compelling spiritual quest by Hermann Hesse, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946, is considered one of the most important works of 20th century fiction. Siddhartha's search for enlightenment leads him to the river of life itself. On his journey he learns from many teachers: the ascetic Samanas, the all-knowing Gotama the Buddha, Kamala the lovely courtesan, and Vasudeva the simple ferryman. Unwilling to accept the wisdom of others, Siddhartha comes to an understanding of himself and his place in the universe, finally achieving the enlightened state of mind in which he can say to his lifelong friend: "The world, Govinda, is perfect at every moment."

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Choosing an audio version of Siddhartha Audible currently offers 4 versions of Hermann Hesse's, "Siddhartha". I'd like to help you with your selection. Derek Jacobi brilliantly breathes life into the current edition. The reading is stellar, making this by far the recommended choice. Caveat: this version is abridged. As for the unabridged versions: Fidrous Bamji: If you must choose an unabridged version, this is the best of the lot. The narration is pleasing to the ear, but simply lacks the magic of Jacobi's rendition. James Langton: TOO FAST. Langton literally speed narrates the story, leaving you with a throbbing headache by the time he's done. Harish Bhimani: Bhimani sounds too self-indulgent, seems to be in love with his own voice. Pronunciation and inflection are questionable. The translation sounds flat, dead, worn. Beautiful Jacoby's voice is exquisite. Despite being an abridged version, this is absolutely worth the listen. And a re-listen... Great story, horid narrater Would you try another book from Herman Hesse and/or Derek Jacobi? I like Herman Hesse & will continue to read his books Who was your favorite character and why? The wise boat man, he had already walked his path & was, where we all strive to be. Would you be willing to try another one of Derek Jacobis performances? no What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Consideration of life Great Book I liked the voice of the reader. This is a beautiful book. People with connection to the indian subcontinent would enjoy this completely Blown Away. Everything I hope for in a story. If you could sum up Siddhartha in three words, what would they be? Life eternal: om. What did you like best about this story? The way all things come into One in the end. The conclusion gave me chills. It is exhilarating, exciting, and peaceful. The whole story arc of Siddharta is beautiful. I love the concept of listening to the river. I loved the ferry boatman. I loved the art of listening. What does Derek Jacobi bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Derek Jacobi is the best narrator there is. His gentle expression, deep understanding, and simple voice make his work stand out among all others. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Dhammapada-The-Udana-The-Itivuttaka-Audiobook/B014TJCN8Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It presents the Buddhas teachings in a clear and highly accessible form and has been used for personal instruction and teaching for centuries throughout the Buddhist world. It comes from the Khuddaka Nikaya section of the Pali Canon and is here collected with two other key texts from the same source. The Udana (inspired utterance) contains stories from the Buddhas life, each of which conclude with a verse. Among these are Bahiya of the bark-cloth and Meghiya, who wanted to meditate but had, perhaps, chosen an inappropriate time.

Title: Tibetan Mantra Magick: Tap Into the Power of Tibetan Mantras Author: Baal Kadmon Narrator: Resheph Format: Unabridged Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-13-15 Publisher: Baal Kadmon Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: When we think about Tibet, we are often taken back to the stories of the search for Shangri-La. We are beguiled by stories of men and women who spend their entire lives in meditation in hopes to achieve liberation from the ties that bind us here on this Earth. We are further in awe of those stories of the great mystics who, though Tibetan rituals, develop supernatural powers. All these stories have elements of truth in them. Rumors of this nature are often unconfirmed facts, as it were. Tibetan Buddhism is fascinating. It is by far the most mystical and most complex form of Buddhism throughout the spectrum of Buddhist sects. Most in popular culture associate it mostly with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet. However, there is so much more to it, so much in fact that no single volume could ever capture the magic and the wonder of this great tradition. Like most Eastern traditions, Tibetan Buddhism has a rich tradition of mantra chanting and magick. Some of the rituals are so elaborate they can often intimidate the minds of those with entrenched Western sensibilities. A good way to pierce the mystery is to work with the mantras of this great tradition. In this book we will perform seven rituals using Tibetan mantras. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Baal Kadmon) Thu, 13 Aug 2015 08:25:00 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Tibetan-Mantra-Magick-Tap-Into-the-Power-of-Tibetan-Mantras-Audiobook/B013TQUFB0 thebookvoice.com 00:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Always a great read, easy to understand and these Mantras WORK! Good I enjoy all his books,some more than others. Powerful! Tibetan mantras are powerful! I started out my tibetan mantra in 2014, when I wanted to get rid all of the slashes of bitchy people that I had met over the course of the day and absorbing their negativities. My body respond to being bloated, heartburn or mostly having unbearable headaches the entire day! So when I started my mantra, chanting it always in my mind. I could feel my body started to shift into a wall of protection. So when I met a very negative individual, it will actually shift their rudeness into a positive attitude. or better yet listen to "The Gyuto Monks of Tibet & ... Magick, well these mantra's aren't really magic but at least all of the mantra's are correct. If you want to hear how they are pronounced go to you tube, or better yet listen to "The Gyuto Monks of Tibet & Deva Premal and on Deva's website you can even download a free PDF of the mantra's in album and their associations. It was quite interesting and super simple to read. I'm encouraged by the mantras I didn't have previous knowledge or experience with any mantras, prior to reading this book. I'd recommend this book.

To walk in the footsteps of the Buddha, we need a clear and thorough guide to the essential principles of Buddhism. Whether we have just begun our journey or are a practitioner with more experience, What is the Dharma? is an indispensable exploration of the Buddha's teachings as found in the main Buddhist traditions. Constantly returning to the question "how can this help me?", Sangharakshita examines a variety of fundamental principles, including karma and rebirth, nirvana and shunyata, conditioned coproduction, impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, insubstantiality, ethics, meditation and wisdom. The result is an informative, refreshing and inspiring book that lays before us the essential Dharma, timeless and universal, in a clear and practical manner. Urgyen Sangharakshita, the English-born Buddhist teacher, is one of the most influential and respected figures in Western Buddhism. Ordained initially into the Theravadin tradition, he broadened his scope to involve all the Buddhist traditions.

Any additional comments? I wish that this book was around when I was first delving into Buddhism. This book is a must read for anyone. Wether you are a student of Buddhism or just curious. The author lays out the Dharma and so many of the basics of Buddhism in way that is clear to understand and digest. I look forward to getting my paws on more material by this Sangharashita fellow. Excellent in depth treatment Engrossing, insightful, a blessing to the serious practitioner. As relevant for Tibetan tradition as for Zen. Excellent survey of Dharma! A clear and concise treatise of vast subject matter beatifully distilled into bitesize sections. I highly recommend this thought-provoking, well organised and self-empowering audiobook! Well Worth It For anyone interested in Buddhism this is an excellent resource, full of clear explanations and insight. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/El-libro-tibetanos-de-los-muertos-libro-segundo-The-Tibetan-Book-of-the-Dead-Book-Two-Audiobook/B00K0QN5LK Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> Título: El libro tibetanos de los muertos, libro segundo [The Tibetan Book of the Dead: Book Two] Autor: Padmasambhava Narrador: Joaquin Madrigal Formato: Abridged Duración: 1 hr and 13 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 04-30-14 Editor: Alberich Ediciones Mexico Calificaciones: 3 de 5 de 3 votos Categorías: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Resumen del editor: Libro Segundo El llamado Libro Tibetano de los Muertos "Bardo Thodol" ha sido reconocido durante siglos como un clásico de la sabiduría budista.

Title: Divine Singing Subtitle: Kirtan: Chanting in the Devotional Tradition of India Author: Chaitanya Kabir Narrator: Chaitanya Kabir Format: Original Recording Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-15 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: In India, the tradition of chant is revered as the highest form of devotion: a form of vocal meditation that is practiced by common people and sants (saint singers) who wander through every village and city of the subcontinent. Through prayer sung from the heart, it is understood, anyone can achieve profound spiritual transformation and ecstasy. With voice alone, they reach the divine and merge, drowning in the sea of God's love. It is in this timeless tradition that Divine Singing is offered as an intensive training course in the devotional music of India. Drawing from 30 years of experience, Kabir teaches a simple, easy-to-follow system you can use to experience the love, longing, and ecstasy hidden within your own voice. Divine Singing is not about religious belief. Rather, it draws from the rich musical world of the Hindus, Sufis, Buddhists, and believers of other faiths to vividly demonstrate how the voice can serve as a direct bridge to the divine. In 11 step-by-step sessions, you will discover the joy of chanting as a spiritual practice, principles of tonal resonance in body and spirit, the sacred silence within sound, the beauty of raga melody, how to attune to the creative power in sound, 20 authentic chants and hymns of devotion for you to sing along with, and much more. Here, for the first time, is an innovative synthesis of music and spiritual practices, waiting to open Western seekers to the realm where chant is an exalted vehicle for cosmic consciousness, a realm where your own voice is the bringer of mysteries, a realm where your voice and divine sound are one - the realm of Divine Singing. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Chaitanya Kabir) Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:35:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Divine-Singing-Audiobook/B018GPQ7MA thebookvoice.com 08:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In The Way of Tenderness, Zen priest Zenju Earthlyn Manuel brings Buddhist philosophies of emptiness and appearance to bear on race, sexuality, and gender, using wisdom forged through personal experience and practice to rethink problems of identity and privilege. Manuel brings her own experiences as a lesbian black woman into conversation with Buddhism to square our ultimately empty nature with superficial perspectives of everyday life. Her hard-won insights reveal that dry wisdom alone is not sufficient to heal the wounds of the marginalized; an effective practice must embrace the tenderness found where conventional reality and emptiness intersect. Only warmth and compassion can cure hatred and heal the damage it wreaks within us.

(Penguin Books) Members Reviews: Transforming hell into heaven A beautiful introduction to Buddhist Tantra based on the Tilopas sutras (The father of the Tibetan-Buddhism lineage (Tilopa -> Naropa->Marpa -> Milarepa). As always, Osho's speaking is beyond words. Rambly, heady stuff... What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Osho is pretty rambly on those live recordings. He likes to throw lots of factoids at his devotees. It's all from the head. Very disapointing overall. However, I did participate years ago in a few worshops in Vancouver with someone who lived with a Osho for a while. This Vancouver teacher was a great teacher and I really trust his opinion to this day. He did mention that Osho was the real deal and I believe Osho it despite of those tapes. He had lots of great body-release breathing techniques, etc. But nothing is new in those live tapes. All that being said, I was very surprised by a 'newer' teacher: Adyashanti. Don't get fooled by the fact he is a California dude and has no beard. Adya is clearly a great teacher, a real good one. Lots of insights in the audiobook I got. He is a bit more à la Krishnamurti... but he offers a clearer path than 'K' and he is less critical of society's structures, etc. Than 'K'. Best, Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Osho? You can't have an actor replace a spiritual master, unless you really need to. I am not bothered that much by Osho's East Indian accent. His vocabulary is good and he is a very-well read fellow. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I am sorry, not much in my opinion. Both Osho purchases fall in the waste of cash category... though I still respect him. Osho's real edge was more the vast array of techniques from different traditions he put together. His 'two cents' on the tantra is not something of much value in my opinion. Keep your dough from some better stuff. The truth about tantric arts Great work of esoteric knowledge .. Bravo to this brave , powerful work of mystic beauty ,and spiritual self empowerment , another rung on the ladder to enlightenment. Not what i expected The man was funny, the audio held my attention, but it really only had about 15 minutes worth of tantric sexual information. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhist-Economics-Audiobook/B01N14MV1V Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Buddhist Economics Subtitle: An Enlightened Approach to the Dismal Science Author: Clair Brown Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 02-21-17 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Traditional economics measures the ways in which we spend our income, but doesn't attribute worth to the crucial human interactions that give our lives meaning. Clair Brown, an economics professor at U.C. Berkeley and a practicing Buddhist, has developed a holistic model, one based on the notion that quality of life should be measured by more than national income. Brown advocates an approach to organizing the economy that embraces rather than skirts questions of values, sustainability, and equity. Complementing the award-winning work of Jeffrey Sachs and Bill McKibben, and the paradigm-breaking spirit of Amartya Sen, Robert Reich, and Thomas Piketty, Brown incorporates the Buddhist emphasis on interdependence, shared prosperity, and happiness into her vision for a sustainable and compassionate world. Buddhist Economics leads us to think mindfully as we go about our daily activities, and offers a way to appreciate how our actions affect the well-being of those around us. By replacing the endless cycle of desire with more positive collective activities, we can make our lives more meaningful as well as happier. Inspired by the popular course Professor Brown teaches at U.C. Berkeley, Buddhist Economics represents an enlightened approach to our modern world infused with ancient wisdom, with benefits both personal and global, for generations to come.

Members Reviews: Excellent overview of the intersection between economics, happiness, and the environment This book provides an easy-to-read and well-supported analysis of the critical relationship between the world economy, the earth/environment, and peopleâs happiness. Brown sets forth the sobering realities of modern-day climate change and economic inequality, then turns to the steps we can take â both individually and as a society â to help overcome these potentially devastating problems. In this excellent introduction to these issues, Brown provides precisely the hopeful yet pragmatic voice we need for the challenging days ahead. must read an an essential play list if we are to have a habitable home Five Stars Interesting concepts. Some good suggestions, but is there really a "Buddhist Economics?" I had hoped to like this book more. After all, the blurbs on its back cover from Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs, and environmentalist Bill McKibben, all sing its praises. My own view is more mixed, however. First, let me outline what I liked about the book. The author, University of California-Berkeley economist Clair Brown, correctly diagnoses our societyâs greatest errors and failings: its fostering of obscene levels of economic inequality, its despoliation of the planet, its single-minded focus on generating wealth rather than on expanding human well-being and flourishing, and its economic model of corporate obligations to shareholders but not stakeholders. Dr. Brown offers many sensible alternatives and solutions to these problems, providing reasonable guidelines for reducing wealth inequality, putting the global economy on a sustainable footing, preserving the planet, and maximizing human happiness and potential. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Pali-Buddha-The-Dhammapada-Audiobook/B078XM5RSN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Way of Life, According to Laotzu Author: Witter Bynner Narrator: Bob Gonzalez Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr Language: English Release date: 03-21-17 Publisher: Spoken Realms Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Way of Life According to Laotzu is a poetic and highly accessible translation of the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching). In these 81 brief passages, the ancient Chinese sage lays down a philosophical, socio-political, personal view of the universe and guide for action that has inspired generations around the world for centuries. Witter Bynner (1881-1968) was an American poet and translator with Kiang Kang-Hu of The Jade Mountain: A Chinese Anthology, Being Three Hundred Poems of the T'ang Dynasty 618-906. Members Reviews: Just breathe As with so many books, we endure the scholarly and erudite reviewers who claim to know which text and translation is the most recondite, the most accurate, the most true to the original. I don't know about all that. I know Lao Tsu was so important to Asian culture and life, and I know this book makes me feel whole again with each reading. I slow down, and his true words align the iron filings in my heart. Let the educated debaters go on with their "Ten thousand things" arguing about translations and meanings. They miss the point. Get this book, make some tea, turn of the incessant rattlings in your brain and the screens in your home and relax to ancient wisdom that has influenced millions of hearts and minds for thousands of years... Great Translation, but get a hard copy... not digital. I am now familiar with about a 1/2 dozen translations. This one is easy to read and enjoyable. But... I felt the digital version was hard to read. Get the real thing! better than all the purple and flowery nonsense out there I am by no means a scholar of Chinese. Much as I'd like to, grasping the vagaries of classical Chinese characters is still beyond me. I'm just a philosophy student looking for understanding and inspiration. However, bar none, this is the best translation of the Tao Te Ching I've ever read (I own 2 and have browsed 6 or 7 more.). It strikes the perfect balance between literalism and interpretation. Anyone who's looked at the original Chinese characters knows that it's tough to literally translate into English - many connectives we use to make things flow are just not present in the Chinese. Addiss and Lombardo don't overdo it, though, in making the verses comprehensible - they add only enough in the way of connectives to allow the verses to register in an English speaking mind. If I were to recommend any edition of the Tao Te Ching to someone, this would be it. It is the best English approximation of the simplicity of the original epigrams and phrases. Where other translations can be bogged down with frilly adjectives and add-ons, this one strips itself down to the bare essentials - not only approaching the spareness of the original, but also the theme - 'ten thousand things' are 9,999 too many! A daily reader for every day peace What is there that can be said of the Tao Teh Ching by such an unlearned man as myself which could possibly shed any light on its many insights and thought provoking stanzas? Perhaps I would best serve you in reviewing this volume particularly. This is, possibly, my favorite of all the translations of the Tao and my favorite printing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Way-of-the-White-Clouds-Audiobook/B016QL5DVC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An absolute must read Precious Book This book is an account of a truly great and precious Lama, describing an amazing time and place which Tibet once was. A place where actual miracles were witnessed, where true sainthood was common, and where true Buddhas could be encountered in the form of teachers. This book has truly put to rest my doubts about reincarnation and has reaffirmed and strengthen my resolve on the path. I highly recommend it! Inspirational with excellent narration. I was saddened whenif heard the words "And so I will close this book ..." , because it meant it was over. The narration was so good. Right tempo, intonation, everything. Visit Tibet Without Leaving Home Narrator and story were so well done, I was experiencing the events and scenery. It was more of a spiritual journey. Way too preachy I bought this book because somehow, whether because I like Sean Barrett's narrations (and it was excellent here, too), or because I like travel adventures (some more than others), or both, Audible recommended it to me. I was skeptical because I'm a rationalist, a skeptic, an atheist. Some people who reviewed this said it is like a travelogue. And, in spite of my lack of faith, I practice a religion for ethnic reasons, and am always interested in comparative religion. So I said, sure, why not? Several times, I was ready to return this book, and then I decided that maybe there is "a pony in there". Not much, actually. The writing is beautiful, and I can say that I learned something. I also learned more about Tibet because due to my skepticism, I read some articles in the course of listening to this book about serfdom and slavery in Tibet, about the wealth of the clergy (see the value of comparative religion? You find out how all of them have similar problems), and how not everything is as wonderful as the author tries to depict it. I learned about the perspective of the Chinese (a very interesting article on Atlantic). And more. And so, by listening to this book, I learned a lot that I didn't know before about Tibet, and about at least some types of Buddhism. But I found the author too much like anyone who is among the "recently converted", though he already was converted a while back. It's all so wonderful, and those who have not yet seen the light are missing out. He has a certain scorn towards "Western" belief or skepticism, Western science, Western materialism, as if I could be convinced to admire people who sit in a cell and meditate instead of being a Jonas Salk or Edward Jenner. No, I won't be convinced. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhism-Buddhist-Teachings-Beliefs-Finding-Enlightenment-and-Practicing-Buddhism-Audiobook/B01CYW93UE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Buddhism: Buddhist Teachings, Beliefs, Finding Enlightenment and Practicing Buddhism Subtitle: Buddhism for Beginners Author: Shalu Sharma Narrator: David C. Gueriera Format: Unabridged Length: 28 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-16 Publisher: Shalu Sharma Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This book is not meant to convince people to become Buddhists. That is a decision people have to make on their own. That is why you won't see Buddhists coming to your door handing out pamphlets trying to encourage you to join their temple. This is not a religion that is solicited to people or pushed upon people in any way. If it were, then it would fail, because people have to be willing to accept Buddha's teachings on their own and try to change their lifestyle in order to accommodate it. You will never see a Buddhist church or anything like that. Since it is a non-theistic religion, Buddhists don't even worship a God. They only consider Buddha as a teacher and follow the message he gave to the world about ending suffering and finding eternal happiness. Those who become Buddhists want to learn about this message and apply it to their own lives. You won't be able to convert to Buddhism overnight by listening to this book, but you will learn the basics of the religion's history and what becoming a Buddhist would entail if you were to become one. Aside from learning about Buddhism, you may learn about how to deal with your own suffering or the suffering of those around you. There is a misconception sometimes where people think that you have to become a Buddhist in order to heal suffering. The truth is anyone from any religion or belief system can help stop suffering. But if you don't know how to stop suffering, then perhaps you can take a few lessons from Buddha himself by learning about his teachings on the subject. This doesn't mean you have to believe that you will achieve Nirvana and find eternal happiness in the afterlife for being a good person. It just means that you want to do good things in this world for yourself and those around you. That is the overall message of Buddhism and people from all walks of life should learn how to do this. Let this book put you on the path to doing just that. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Shalu Sharma) Tue, 15 Mar 2016 06:18:33 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhism-Buddhist-Teachings-Beliefs-Finding-Enlightenment-and-Practicing-Buddhism-Audiobook/B01CYW93UE thebookvoice.com 00:28:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I am quite aware that it is the one of the oldest religions ever founded. Not until I read this very informative book, I wouldn't know exactly all the basic and fundamental teachings of this religion. This is so full of truths and principles. Though I am not a follower of Siddhartha Gautama, I honor and respect the belief system he instituted in this Religion. I like how the author orderly presented all the details about Buddhism and she seem to know the religion so well. Definitely very informative and will cause you to look at other people's belief system with honor and high esteem. This is very recommendable for everyone to read! Who doesn't want to reach Nirvana? Great info Well written, informative book. The author has an ability to take people and give them great insights into the books she rights. This one is amazing to me because I am fascinated by Buddhism.Their are three branches of Buddhism, Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana, each teaches a little bit differently, but the basics of an eight fold path to Nirvana are similar. Cleanse body, mind and soul while reaching out to help others, I think this is an amazing teaching all of us could use in our lives. The book also has some great pictures, I love the special temples and places. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Zen-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B06XKC93QH Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great Information great Information for someone who had no idea even what chakras were.. great information will listen to again Chakras for Dummies I'm sorry but this book never told you how to balance a chakra. It is extremely repetitive and dummed down. The book gives valuable information at times but you have no where to go with that information because you are not educated on the how to.... good start on topic A solid overview, and a good jumping off point. But hardly everything one needs to know! The author herself discusses the long history behind chakras. Not something that can be completely covered in 30 minutes while also discussing the other necessary topics. The narrator was clear and easy ti understand with excellent ennunciation. However I found myself wishing that the narrator would have read in a more natural manner. The almost rhythmic pauses (perhaps for breath) became distracting. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Overcoming-Stress-and-Fear-Audiobook/B002VAAAMA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

While the simple beauty of this teaching has captivated many modern spiritual seekers, the social conditioning of our culture often creates barriers for Western practitioners that even the most advanced Eastern masters have never personally encountered. With Radiant Mind, Peter Fenner - an expert in Eastern psychologies and longtime student of many Tibetan masters - offers you an effective, practical approach for Western students seeking to directly experience and cultivate the healing power of nondual awakening. The Complete Freedom of Unconditioned Mind Peter Fenner refers to the state of pure presence as unconditioned awareness because it frees us from our cultural conditioning that creates the sense of separation and prevents us from realizing our transcendent selves. Drawing upon decades of experience as a nondual therapist and Buddhist scholar, Fenner demonstrates an intimate familiarity with the ego traps and unconscious beliefs that so often confound Western students. With gentle wisdom, profound insight, and a lighthearted presence, he guides you on your journey through each step on the road to enlightened consciousness. In his workshops, Peter Fenner has taught thousands of students how to attain a state known as the ultimate medicine, one in which we abide in tranquility, free from the pressures of our desires and fears. Now this groundbreaking teacher brings you his unique blend of Eastern and Western wisdom in a full-length audio workshop for beginning and advanced practitioners. Radiant Mind is your chance to experience the powerful and precise teacher-to-student transmission for transcending suffering, healing your wounds, and experiencing oneness with all that is. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Peter Fenner) Tue, 06 Oct 2015 06:11:47 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Radiant-Mind-Audiobook/B0167N8PJ6 thebookvoice.com 08:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Clear, simple, but powerful This book provides in simple terms a useful description of key teachings of the Buddha's philosophy. Disappointed The guy speaks like he is trying to Hypnotize you. The book is not orginized well. I only listened to half of the book before I gave up so I don't know what's in the second half. But the stracture of the book is bad- that and the way he speaks put me off https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Giving-Our-Best-Audiobook/B078362JQ2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Giving Our Best Subtitle: A Retreat with Pema Chödrön on Practicing the Way of the Bodhisattva Author: Pema Chödrön Narrator: Pema Chödrön Format: Original Recording Length: 3 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The best-selling author and beloved Buddhist teacher shares her insights on the practice of compassion and enlightened mind (bodhichitta). Compassion is a skill. It's not a special trait that we either have or don't, but a practice that we can all nurture in our daily lives. And the benefits are vast. It liberates our hearts from a narrow sense of self, expands our sense of well-being, and so much more. Of course, it's not always easy. But when we learn to work with our adversities and fears, whatever it is that might be keeping us stuck, then we find that we gradually and naturally become more open, joyful, and free. And it is this very freedom that enlivens us and allows us to become truly available to the people around us. In this recorded retreat, Pema Chödrön reveals all the essentials for practicing compassion in our everyday lives, using a text that is very close to her heart: the Buddhist classic known as The Way of the Bodhisattva. Here she focuses on its first chapter and primary subject, the enlightened heart and mind (bodhichitta), showing us how this awakened state is available to us here and now, right where we are. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Pema Chödrön) Tue, 26 Dec 2017 02:31:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Giving-Our-Best-Audiobook/B078362JQ2 thebookvoice.com 03:52:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Deep Understandingof Sacred Buddhist Art presented respectfully and clearly When I first heard that Lopon Konchog Lhadrapie's renowned text for Thanka painters of Himalayan sacred art was translated into English ... I was overjoyed. Being an artist with profound respect for this gendre and having met several of Lopon Konchog's disciples in art training ...it was clear to me that here was an artist and instructor who was authentic, gifted and true to the tradition of sacred art for the BuddhaDharma. On completion of this tome, I realized that this is a text that is useful for anyone who wishes to understand the benefits, aspirations, tradition, culture and guidelines of Buddhist Practice. Explained so clearly and humbly by someone who has lived inside the tradition his whole life. This text is not only about Buddhist Himalayan Art, but of the value and insights of devotional practice and ceremonial psychology. I recommend this text to anyone who really seeks to understand Buddhist Himalayan Art, tradition, view and way of being. A window into the tradition that is often reserved for only the ordained or initiated practitioner into the heart of devotion and an understanding of the blessings that come with pure aspiration and an understanding of creating sacred art.

(P)1992 Audio Literature; ©1985 North Point Press Members Reviews: Uneven but rewarding If you enjoy the paradoxical yet profound teachings of Zen Buddhism, then you'll want to listen to this. I found both the teachings and the narration a little slow (boring?) until about midway through, when Dogen's teachings became more intellectually interesting, paradoxical and humorous (although it's probably just me). Definitely not for everybody, but maybe for you. Not Review Over 30 years ago, my very first introduction to anything buddhist was Dogen. I still have yet to barely scratch the surface. I have always liked the fact that, just when I thought I have understood something, reading further dismantles that. For the time-being Any additional comments? This is for some one a little farther down the path. Understanding basic Buddhist concepts is an absolute prerequisite. To the average western person this may sound baffling and nothing but gibberish, however to the experienced mediator who has gained insight this shines like the rays of a million suns and opens the gate of the gateless gate. Truly Zen in it's finest form. I have listened to this three times over periods of time and a forth listen is certainly in the future. Accessible If you could sum up The Teachings of Zen Master Dogen in three words, what would they be? What about Gary Snyders performance did you like? The reading is clean and concise. No sense of pretention or sanctimony. Snyder has opened my dharma ear. Any additional comments? I've always had difficulty reading Dogen; he just didn't make sense. Listening to him being read has been a revelation! His meaning is becoming more and more clear and I'm really beginning to like him. A lot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Dont-Believe-Everything-You-Think-Audiobook/B00OAP6JWO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not what I expected... Is there anything you would change about this book? The author seems to think there's only one way to do everything -- one way to meditate, one way to sit while meditating, one way to learn Buddhism, etc. -- and they're very biased and dismissive of other methods. Having meditated for twenty years, not in a way recommended by the author, I've benefitted in deep and lasting ways, and I can say from experience that this author is mistaken in their judgments. Frankly, I'm not sure I even understand what the thought is behind dismissing other ways of doing things. Why not respect our differences? If someone can run twelve miles and feel at peace and also examine their thoughts and find greater peace all at the same time, why would you want to argue with that? I also found it odd that the author said that you can only learn properly from having a teacher physically in front of you. The Buddha was said to be the first enlightened being, so there was no one to teach him enlightenment. He learned on his own and found enlightenment anyway. Why would following that example and learning on one's own be such a terrible thing? -- And how could it possibly be the wrong way of doing things? After a while, I found the very judgmental, dismissive tone of the author to be unfriendly, unpleasant, and I couldn't connect to what they were saying, nor did I find it useful in practice. I think a more accepting and respectful attitude to one's students would be a lot more appropriate, especially from a practitioner of Buddhism. Would you ever listen to anything by Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron again? I have no interest in listening to anything by this author again, they fell short in too many areas. What about Graeme Malcolms performance did you like? I felt like he enunciated well so it wasn't difficult to understand what he was reading. Sometimes I have to turn the audio up really high to make out what readers are saying, but this wasn't the case for this book. Was Don't Believe Everything You Think worth the listening time? No, I couldn't even finish it -- I stopped after several chapters. Any additional comments? The author wrote this book in English and it got distributed, at the very least, to the entire United States. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Prabhupada-Your-Ever-Well-Wisher-Audiobook/B00OY9FWHO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful narration and heartwarming story What did you love best about Prabhupada: Your Ever Well-Wisher? The pure love coming from this tale of devotion. What did you like best about this story? His perseverance and dedication to helping others. Which scene was your favorite? All were excellent, but his arrival in Boston was inspiring. Any additional comments? Recommended to all those wanting to find out about the translator of the most popular version of the Bhagavad Gita. Jai Srila Prabhupada!!! What made the experience of listening to Prabhupada: Your Ever Well-Wisher the most enjoyable? The wonder of story itself propels it right along. Also the fact of what can be achieved with Krsna's blessing. What did you like best about this story? I was so excited listening to the narration about the first (and early) Kirtans in the park in New york. To clarify my meaning all you have to do is Youtube "Hare Krsna Kirtan" and see what the early seeds planted!! Which scene was your favorite? To many to even pick one over the other. AGTSP - Brilliant Wonderful insights into the life of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Loved the book but the narration could have been delivered with more expression.

Members Reviews: background noises really distracting Would you listen to Touching the Earth again? Why? The content here is absolutely great. The background noises which are just as loud as the speaker are absolutely ridiculous-constant coughing sneezing, endless, really endless.. These people have been making recordings for years and should be able to filter out these distractions. It came to the point where I had to stop listening. Spiritual heart surgery. The voice of Thich Nhat Hanh still echoes in my mind very gently. I felt blessed after listeing. Sister Chan Khong sings for you! Softened my heart. Recommendedd to buddhist pactitioners everywhere. Love hearing Thich...the sister well I could listen to Thich for endless hours...and i already have. In this recording I loved hearing him introduce the prostrations...when sister Chan spoke..well it almost felt like a Saturday night live sketch...this could just be me... and unfair, but I just didn't connect to her.. inspired peace deluverd in word and songs The songs penetrate calm and strengthen the soul and heart Healing This is healing on many levels. Thank you sister, for singing my body to peace. Mother earth holds me in her lap and heals me while you sing. She is you and I am to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Tantric-Sex-Audiobook/B072BWJJ5Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you plan to gain tantra as a spiritual discipline, go elsewhere. The book has several misleading inaccuracies which will create major obstacles when walking this path. Great Intro to Tantra Learning about tantra has been on my to-do list for a while. I liked this introduction to the subject. The narrator was clear and the information was easy to understand. I would say that the book "needs more" but knew that this will be introductory material considering the length of audio. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Cuando-todo-se-derrumba-When-Things-Fall-Apart-Texto-Completo-Audiobook/B002V1NF2Q Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> Título: Cuando todo se derrumba [When Things Fall Apart (Texto Completo)] Autor: Pema Chodron Narrador: Silvia Sierra Formato: Unabridged Duración: 6 hrs and 1 min Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 11-12-08 Editor: Recorded Books Calificaciones: 4.5 de 5 de 36 votos Categorías: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Resumen del editor: Please note: This title is in Spanish. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Pema Chodron) Wed, 12 Nov 2008 06:27:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Cuando-todo-se-derrumba-When-Things-Fall-Apart-Texto-Completo-Audiobook/B002V1NF2Q thebookvoice.com 06:01:00 no Escucha este título completo gratis en thebookvoice.com Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> Título: Cuando todo se derrumba [When Things Fall Apart (Texto Completo)] Autor: Pema Chodron Narrador: Silvia Sierra Formato: Unabridged Duración: 6 hrs and 1 min Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 11-12-08 Editor: Recorded Books Calificaciones: 4.5 de 5 de 36 votos Categorías: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Resumen del editor: Please note: This title is in Spanish.

Wisdom Walk Would you consider the audio edition of Wisdom Walk to be better than the print version? I have not read the book. The audio version is great . What about Sage Bennets performance did you like? Everything. The personal way of writing. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? It's just a good audio book with good sound advise. And it's read in a clear and concise way. Insightful I found this book really interesting, it takes you through key practices attributed to world religions and how you can apply them in your life. I learnt a lot especially with regards to Taoism and the book is personal and well written. I have recommended this to other people. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhism-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B018H73FKY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A mostly good basic overview This is a mostly good basic overview, without too much technical jargon and a specific and intentional avoidance of frequently using sanskrit words and phrases in order to make it more easily understandable to western English-speakers. There are some resources included, which I have not checked out, though I was hoping for more and for those to be less generic. The last chapter is an excerpt from another one of the author's books and the whole book can probably be gone through in one sitting -- I did. However, while the book is good and I do view it favorably and appreciate it, I found that it is so simplified as to be somewhat oversimplified and also that the views in it are generally very western in nature. It does take a slant of Budddhism not being a religion, and instead being a life choice, which depending on your views many bother you, or not. great beginners insight great easy listening for beginners, and does exactly what says on cover, so great listen great does what it says on the tin, great listen. good for learning or revisiting the basics. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Hinduism-A-Very-Short-Introduction-Audiobook/B004JK8QDK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent Introduction to Hinduism Indeed a very short, but still excellent introduction to Hinduism. Provides a clear, well-organized, concise overview of the history, religious practices, gods, philosophical schools, and of various other aspects of Hinduism. Professor Knott's erudition and enthusiasm for the subject matter are apparent throughout this introductory work. More of a History lesson of India The book did not answer much of what Hinduism is. Was more of a history of India by the west. The religion as viewed in the eyes from someone from the west. The reader was fantastic but the book fell far short of it's title. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Sermon-on-the-Mount-According-to-Vedanta-Audiobook/B00456BYRI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

God lies within us and at the same time is everything we see. This realization is the aim of all the Vedanta teachings. Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." "The kingdom of God is within you." "Be ye perfect." Although theologians are apt to explain away these teachings in various ways, the Vedantists believe Christ meant what he said. Listen to this remarkable recording and discover how Vedanta goes to the very heart of Christ's teaching. Vedanta came to the West in the late 19th century, not to supplant any religion, but to bring a more tangible spirituality to those who seek it. Its goal has never been to proselytize, but to help man realize the divinity within him. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Swami Prabhavananda) Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:16:49 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Sermon-on-the-Mount-According-to-Vedanta-Audiobook/B00456BYRI thebookvoice.com 04:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The only thing that bothered me was the formal speaking style of the narrator. I imagine his style has won him awards and that other speakers emulate him. But I would prefer a speaker I can relate to. The British theatre trained speaker puts distance between me and the text. I want to be drawn in and the formal elocution does not do it for me. Loved this book! Nice Explanations! the explanations from the vedantic view point are very nice. the narrator did a great job too. I am going to read a few more times to understand it better. I will recommend any devout christian to read this book. it will give them a very good perspective. Inappropriate narration The content is wonderful; the narration, deplorable. The speaker's voice is full of smugness and self-importance, which run so contrary to the message as to make the audiobook nearly unlistenable. Read the book instead. Fabulous Text/ Unfortunate Narration Is there anything you would change about this book? I have read this book and was looking forward to owning and listening to an audio version. Unfortunately, the performance of the narrator makes this not listenable for me. Sanskrit names and terms are mispronounced and a speaking tone that veers from faux Shakespearean to American English and an utterly pretentious delivery totally ruins an incredibly wise and precious text. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Dhammapada-Vol-4-Audiobook/B01LW9EQMM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Dhammapada Vol. 4 Subtitle: The Way of the Buddha Author: Osho Narrator: Osho Format: Original Recording Length: 18 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 09-12-16 Publisher: Osho International Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of Gautama the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. This is volume four of a 12-volume series of Osho Talks, where Osho brings Buddha's Dhammapada into the 21st century, opening them for a new understanding for contemporary mankind. In alternating chapters Osho comments on specific sutras of Buddha and responds to questions from his audience, deepening the understanding of these timeless works. Gautama the Buddha raised the most important question. The most important question of all questions is: What is true happiness? "People are living just to impress. They must be really very poor inside, because only people suffering from an inferiority complex want to impress others. A really superior person never compares himself with anybody else. He knows he is incomparable; not only that, he knows others are also as incomparable as he is. He is neither superior nor inferior." This tremendous revolution is possible only with one secret key, and that is becoming more alert. The more alert you are, the less you repeat. The more alert you are, the more you find new ways of doing things, new styles of living your life. The setting of these talks is an open-air auditorium at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India. Osho and his audience sit surrounded by trees and the elements of nature - the chirping of birds, wind, and the cracking bamboo as well as the distant sound of the local Pune-Mumbai morning train are all parts of these recordings and give them a truly existential flavor. Osho Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. "These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence." biacuaduc@gmail.com (Osho) Mon, 12 Sep 2016 18:05:01 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Dhammapada-Vol-4-Audiobook/B01LW9EQMM thebookvoice.com 18:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Book Great! Sound aweful While the content of this book is great. I will probably go buy the print version. The sound quality was terrible. I was constantly having to turn the volume up as the voice trailed off.Then quickly had to turn back down as the voice vibrated my eardrums this process had to be repeated throughout the entire book. Puts the heart into mindfulness meditation Would you listen to Buddha is as Buddha Does again? Why? I have listened to this book twice already, and intend to listen to it many more times to come. I have practiced mindfulness meditation for multiple decades, and have become increasingly proficient over the years with concentration on a pre-defined object of focus. That has brought a calm and equanimity that pervades my life.However, I have always struggled with the lack of heart, warmth, empathy, and love in my practice. I believe in such values, and certainly the mindfulness teachings mention the importance of bodhichitta, compassion, metta, etc. But it was always conspicuously lacking in my practice. Lama Surya Das puts the bodhisattva values at the forefront, making the timeless truths of love, generosity, and understanding somehow palpable. His words echoed in my mind and heart throughout the days I was listening to the book, and beyond. I have come to hold the bodhisattva idea on an equal footing with mindfulness itself, and have even experimented with meditating on the sensations of generosity and other pure emotions. I feel like new opportunities in meditation have been laid out before me thanks to this book's creativity-inducing message and presentation.The book addressed the paradox of being warm yet detached with true understanding. I have always been troubled by this and other ostensible contradictions in Buddhism, but he points them out and clarifies them, without providing any pat answers. Somehow, I felt something approaching an answer in my heart, even if I couldn't say what verbally.LSD speaks with such confidence and conviction, without ever preaching. There is not a trace of guilt-tripping or shaming in this book. He has so much understanding for the limitations of his readers, yet seems to hold us in high esteem! What a great man and teacher. This should be required reading. Why become a Buddhist when you can become the Buddha?!these are words to live by now and forever. Namaste. Endless Replay Value, Timeless Wisdom I'm busy today but I feel obligated to take some time out and leave a review on this marvellous audio book. This is one audio book I can listen to again and again. It's jam-packed with wisdom, little stories, sayings, quotes, insights etc. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhism-for-Break-ups-Audiobook/B01MZ1VBGC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: good liked the book. the author has a really good way of putting things. im glad i read it. It's good but I can't relate to it The background of her story is about her divorce involving kids. I couldn't relate much. Listen twice! What did you like most about Buddhism for Break-ups? This is a fantastic book. Meshel does a brilliant job of making Buddhist concepts easy to understand. She also manages to help make breakups feel a lot more manageable (and reminds us that at some point, almost everyone has been through one). Brilliant. Thank you Meshel! I'm not going through a breakup but have listened to Meshel's book twice. It teaches so much about relationships, both romantic and friendships that I will always remember. I'm sure I'll listen to it again and again over time. Thanks to Meshel for narrating her own book also, it makes all the difference. "Aha!" Moments galore! Guidance for peacefulness Meshel is marvellous.. Helpful, accessible, insightful, honest Buddhism for peacefulness . Such great post (or near) break up advice. In fact great for anyone and everyone who is or may one day be in a relationship.. Or even for those who may never be in a relationship. Fantastic advice to be solo. Served with a side of good humor about life. Thank you Meshel, this book helped me greatly in many ways.. Buddhism?

I recommend this for anyone experiencing stress or anxiety that needs to be controlled by diverting ones attention from everyday ordinary or extraordinary issues.

I wasn't sure about women's Zen koan stories, but The Hidden Lamp: Stories from Twenty-five Centuries of Awakened Women is full of wonderful stories about women Zen practicitioners. A lot of the stories are about ordinary women practicing at an extra-ordinary level. The commentaries are surprisingly practical and down-to-earth. I read it first by the countries Buddhism expanded into: India, China, Japan, etc. Then I went back and started at the beginning. Definitely recommend this book for its depth and variety of stories and commentaries. Zen stories about women Zen masters with commentaries by contemporary women teachers The Hidden Lamp is instructive, fascinating, and - dare I say it in the traditionally serious Zen world - fun! The most compelling reason to read this book, in my opinion, is not only that the koans are about women, but also that the commentaries are written by contemporary women from different Buddhist traditions. The commentaries are from women who have dedicated their lives to the Buddha way. As women, they have embodied understanding of the spirit and intentions of these teaching stories. In this way, these ancient koans have become alive and inspiring and personal. The Hidden Lamp is a collection of Zen and Chan stories in which women are the sages and masters. When one reads the classical Zen literature, one wonders where the women are. Are they too busy cooking dinner, or is the society so repressive that there are no women who seek to realize the truth of the Buddha Way? Koans, as most everyone knows, are traditional Zen stories that are intended to provoke investigation and contemplation, resulting in insight into one's spiritual practice and life. But koans are also famously abstruse. Note case number 47 in the Book of Equanimity: "Attention! A monk asked Joshu, 'What is the meaning of Bodhidharma's coming from the West?' Joshu answered, 'The cypress tree in the garden.'" Many students, like me, think, "Hmmm. I don't get it." So koans are often considered to be impenetrable puzzles, written by men, that require a commentary....by another man. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Requisites-of-Enlightenment-Audiobook/B01M1F5JYG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The guided practice is succinct and well-done, and I appreciated the commentary before and after. It is a nice progression - from breathing meditation and slightly beyond - easy to listen to and nicely explained. A friend had recommended the printed version of this book, but I found that having the audio guided practice much more appropriate than trying to read/remember/practice. Initially, the audio helps me to re-direct/return to focus. Highly recommended. Great, compact, effective This is what a meditation audio should be. It's brief and includes four or five guided meditations of around ten minutes each, along with brief discussions by the author before and after each meditation. Meditation fro beginners Excelent introduction to starting to meditate. Great teacher. Down to earth and useful Practical guidance in the first half with useful, grounding 5-10 minute meditation practices punctuating each progression. I'm enjoying learning to meditate this way. He's clearly realistic about this practice and it's difficult points and funny at times. The second half describes Buddhism's 4 noble truths, with short meditations on each - personally a bit less useful to me, but I think I may be too inexperienced to really get something out of meditations about particular philosophies. I'll probably pick those up again later to see if I feel differently. Either way, this does well as an audiobook and is a great intro to meditation. Narrator is easy to listen to. Great way to learn I am new to meditating and trying to do it on my own was difficult. This audio book made it easy and enjoyable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Beginners-Guide-to-Meditation-Audiobook/B002V1CIQU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful compassionate book This wonderful compassionate book is a gentle guide to being in this complex world. Calm Down and Read This! I keep this book in my car, for times when I get stuck waiting. It is a fine companion for stressful moments and indeed any moments. Five Stars I have read and re-read and recommended this book. Direct, clear, easy to read in small bites. Highly recommend! Five Stars I'm happy to see a book by Enkyo...well done! down to earth and honest A lot of spiritual writing leaves the reader with the sense that transcendence is possible if he or she practices in just the correct way. Consequently, many practitioners go around thinking that there is some subtle nuance that they just aren't getting. I like this book a lot because it doesn't skate over the immensity of the challenges we face both as individuals and as a society. Buddhism is a practical, reality based approach to those difficulties. The title alludes to the reality that we try to avoid our suffering when what we most need to do is to become intimate with it. I highly recommend this for novices as well as long time students. We are all, after all, beginners in each fresh moment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Confucianism-and-Taoism-Audiobook/B002V5H6R2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not Deep Enough for these Subjects Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. But only for those with some Chinese history background. Would you recommend Confucianism and Taoism to your friends? Why or why not? Good starting point to understand the interaction of these religions Which scene was your favorite? Not applicable. The discussion of early Taoism is fascinating. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. The material is way to deep and thought provoking for one sitting. Any additional comments? A good starting place to understand the original and progression of both religions. You should know a fair amount about Chinese history to appreciate this book although some superficial comparisons to Western religions and philosophies are included. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Power-of-Grace-Audiobook/B0108Z3ENG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Library Journal) Members Reviews: Excellent!!! This is the first audiobook that I have ordered as a Premium Listener and I regard it as an excellent one. It consists of five lessons given by Jack Kornfield to a group of people during a course of five weeks. It is very well structured and tailored to the beginner?s needs. It discusses various subjects: ? Why meditate ? How to focus on your breath ? How to focus on your body sensations ? How to deal with feelings ? How to deal with thoughts ? Loving kindness-walking-eating meditation Highlights include: ? Jack Kornfield?s kindness and wisdom. You will soon be feeling that this teacher is talking directly to you. ? Simple and clear view of buddhist principles and psychology. ? Jack Kornfield deals with many misconceptions about meditation, the most important one to avoid being perfectionist and idealistic about it. ? Jack Kornfield explains clearly why meditation isn?t some mystical way to attain extraordinary powers but the art of being here now! ? This audiobook is full with humorous stories that help to convey the message in the most insightful and entertaining way. It is really a great audiobook. I hope that audible.com will provide us with other Jack Kornfield?s books and my suggestion is ?After the enlightment the laundry? ? Offer yourself this audiobook, it?s an excellent gift. Almost as good as being there I've long wanted to go to a retreat where Jack Kornfield offers his insights into meditation. This is almost as good. I return to it often, especially the fourth week's session. Great introduction to vipassana. Great Workshop This is a joy to listen to again and again.The only possible minus is the bad sound quality of the open mike. However there have been times when I have been present myself at workshops like this and I could not make out more of what was being said than I can on this recording. entertaining as well as useful If you are interested in learning about meditation, this audiobook is great. It does not matter that the recording is not as good. The "workshop" sessions have substance! I have already heard it 4 or 5 times. Great book! I really enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining and full of good insight on how to meditate. Jack is relaxed and often amusing in his narration, i laughed out loud several times. Audio quality is a little poor though, but dont let that put you off! You can actually meditate along with the book too, with instruction from Jack - Great. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Dhammapada-Vol-3-Audiobook/B01LVVA0Z9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Dhammapada Vol. 3 Subtitle: The Way of the Buddha Author: Osho Narrator: Osho Format: Original Recording Length: 18 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-16 Publisher: Osho International Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of Gautama the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. This is volume three of a 12-volume series of Osho Talks, where Osho brings Buddha's Dhammapada into the 21st century, opening them for a new understanding for contemporary mankind. In alternating chapters Osho comments on specific sutras of Buddha and responds to questions from his audience, deepening the understanding of these timeless works. "My talking on Buddha is not just a commentary: It is creating a bridge. Buddha is one of the most important masters who has ever existed on the Earth - incomparable, unique." The setting of these talks is an open-air auditorium at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India. Osho and his audience sit surrounded by trees and the elements of nature - the chirping of birds, wind, and the cracking bamboo as well as the distant sound of the local Pune-Mumbai morning train are all parts of these recordings and give them a truly existential flavor. Osho employs his penetrating insight and wonderful humor to remove the dust of many misunderstandings gathered on Buddha's teachings and again emphasizes meditation over dogma, meditation being Buddha's greatest contribution to the development of human consciousness. "Buddha transformed the word meditation. Meditation had always been something of the mind, and Buddha brought a new quality, so totally new, diametrically opposite to the old meaning: He said meditation means a state of no mind. It is not concentration; it is not contemplation. It is not thinking; it is not thinking about God. It is not even prayer, because thinking is of the head, intellectual; prayer is emotional. That is another side of the head, not very far away from it - a different language used by another part of the head." Osho Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Osho) Mon, 12 Sep 2016 09:43:47 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Dhammapada-Vol-3-Audiobook/B01LVVA0Z9 thebookvoice.com 18:06:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: My favourite series Of all of the talks of Osho that are available in recorded format, the dharmapada (the way of the buddha) is my favourite series to listen to. If you are interested in Buddhism, there are no greater insights into the way of the Buddha than there are coming from Osho. Buy this book and allow calm and serenity to flood your life, all the while whilst gaining a greater insight into the way of the Buddha. As ever, 10+ stars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Rearming-Hinduism-Audiobook/B01N1WJTZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Rearming Hinduism Subtitle: Nature Hinduphobia and the Return of Indian Intelligence Author: Vamsee Juluri Narrator: P. J. Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Rearming Hinduism is a handbook for intellectual resistance. Through an astute and devastating critique of Hinduphobia in today's academia, media and popular culture, Vamsee Juluri shows us that what the Hinduphobic worldview denies virulently is not only the truth and elegance of Hindu thought, but the very integrity and sanctity of the natural world itself. By boldly challenging some of the media age's most popular beliefs about nature, history, and pre-history along with the Hinduphobes' usual myths about Aryans, invasions and blood-sacrifices, Rearming Hinduism links Hinduphobia and its hubris to a predatory and self-destructive culture that perhaps only a renewed Hindu sensibility can effectively oppose. It is a call to see the present in a way that elevates our desa and kala to the ideals of the sanathana dharma once again. "For a civilization is not just buildings and machines, but its people, their thought, and their culture. It is a way of knowing the world, a way of giving meaning and value to the contents of life. It is a resource, most of all, for living intelligently." biacuaduc@gmail.com (Vamsee Juluri) Sun, 01 Jan 2017 08:48:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Rearming-Hinduism-Audiobook/B01N1WJTZM thebookvoice.com 06:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Makes a very interesting reading.The author has articulated some misconceptions that are being circulated in the Western academia, intentionally or otherwise. It is quite surprising to see and impossible to understand that on the one hand Westerners flock to India to gain peace of mind, and on the other hand those westerners who teach about Hinduism portray it as beastly and violent. Both these stands cannot be true. Obviously, one is false. Obviously there is something wrong with the western academia. Sometimes, Indians too, under the influence of westernisation get swayed by these opinions and start being apologetic about this grand "Dharma" which has been spreading the message of harmony and peace to the entire world through we do not know how many thousands of years, or maybe millions of years -- who knows! This is a book on how to counter the misinformation being spread around in the name of Hinduism studies - which are anything but!..being taught by those who do not understand a bit of it -- or are motivated due to some agenda of their own. A much needed book A much needed book to teach this generation difference between secularism and pseudo secularism and to awaken the Hindus to reassert their identity that was suppressed in the Nehruvian blunders of the post independence era. Pandemic problem of Hinduphobia: From academia, to media, to broader public life Juluri has done an extraordinary job of weaving a depiction of how unrelenting hinduphobia is: its doggedly-onesidedness, its methods, its proponents, their biases, the harm perpetrated. Without getting theoretical, in a smooth-flowing conversational style, Juluri raises all the major issues, exposes their absurdity, and talks about the right way to view Hinduism. Read this very-readable, and original book that weaves the schizophrenic two-lens bias of Hindus as allegedly racially or culturally inferior to allegedly oppressive society which is patriarchal, anti-women, caste-ridden, aryan-invading-nomads. Sorry, no happy alternatives, and no moderate middlegrounds. What a timely wake up call! I could not put the book down once I started reading it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Waking-the-Buddha-Audiobook/B00OYAQZW4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I will add to my library Wonderful book with great narration This is the first audiobook I've ever bought. I really enjoyed the book with the great narration. A bit of snooze I felt like I was listening to an infomercial for SGI. The reader did a nice enough job of reading it but the book was dull. Wonderful reflection Great non bias view of SGI-USA. A new American member of thirty years it's refreshing Great Explanation Regarding Growth in SGI Loved it! Clear, concise, and interesting explanation regarding why the SGI became a global religion/belief system. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Energy-of-Mindfulness-Audiobook/B007JZ8KFG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The metaphysical title was not what I thought it would offer. I prefer Deepak Chopra's meditations. If you are a novice to meditation - start with Deepak Chopra's guided meditations. Not for the begininers I was initially impressed with the title MetaPhysical meditations and planned to try out it. But what has turned out is a big disappointment, I'm not happy with the content and the concept of the meditations talked in the tape. The author tries to get you into meditative stage without even taking you into a relaxed stage..its like a fast food meditation which doesn't works actually. The author asks you to open your eyes in between the meditation which is too distracting to me. I have heard Deepak Chopra, Glenn Harold, Shakti Gawain and personally try Meditations from other authors. I can not rate this tape being close to either of them. Try it if you are an advanced user...and then may be you won't require it. If you are like most of others you'd not be very comfortable with it. music The guided meditations are very helpful and I would highly recommend this. my only issue is there are times the background music itself would cause issues, the music seems really out of place at points and causes a distraction. other than that, very good listen https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Bede-Griffiths-Audiobook/B002V5J422 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

His gift of unconditional love and the divine presence he brought to this world were transformative to his students. His teachings speak to the ever widening numbers of people finding greater meaning beyond the scope of their root traditions. In this conversation Brother Wayne Teasdale and Asha and Russill Paul share their experience of Father Bede and his legacy, and the promise it holds for the world we face today. Russill Paul explains, "As we move into this age in which people feel that they need more than one tradition to feel complete and whole and find balance in their lives, Bede is an icon of interspiritual integrity, because somehow he found a balance in the wholeness of this East-West, male-female, Hindu-Christian meeting point. Somehow he lived and breathed it, and set something in motion for a lot of different people around the world." The late Brother Wayne Teasdale is the author of Bede Griffiths: An Introduction to His Interspiritual Thought (Skylight Paths 2003), A Monk in the World: Cultivating a Spiritual Life (New World Library 2002) and The Mystic Heart: Discovering a Universal Spirituality in the World's Religions (New World Library 1999).

Buddhism is often considered a religion by new practitioners. For many Buddhists it is more of a way of life than a religion. Buddhists believe meditation and other practices will lead to changes in oneself. These changes are aimed at creating awareness, wisdom, and kindness within in order to reach spiritual enlightenment. Buddhism represents the end of suffering for anyone able to attain enlightenment, because the person no longer dwells on what they lack but learns to live with the reality of what is, without needs, wants, or desires.

Members Reviews: Ok for an intro I am new to Buddhism hence my interest in this book and although I feel this book taught me a thing or two I wasn't very fond of the narrators style. He spoke too fast for my liking. Almost as if he rushed though it hardly even pausing between sentences. For someone completely ignorant but interested in walking the path of the Buddha, I would have enjoyed and absorbed more of this had the narrator read a little slower. It's a lot to take in in a small amount of time. I shall listen again. Good deal for the price tho. easy to understand guide very well spoken simple and mind expanding great start to understanding Buddhism and true enlightenment. I enjoyed listening and got a deaper knowledge of what is required to lead a proper healthy lifestyle in Buddhism thank you https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Sundara-Kandam-Audiobook/B002V02A1O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Sundara Kandam Author: Pazhaniappan Pazha Narrator: Sundararaman S Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-08 Publisher: New Horizon Media Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Sundara kandam has a value of its own. The essence of the entire Ramayana has been encapsulated in the Sundarakandam. It is the story of Sita and Hanuman's bhakti. Hanuman goes to Sri Lanka, meets Sita in the Asokavana, comforts her, and gives her the courage to be tenacious. After this meeting he goes to the palace of Ravana and tries to dissuade him from his chosen course of action, by telling him about Rama's prowess. When all his persuasion fails, he sets fire to Sri Lanka by means of his tail, which Ravana has set fire to. He thus rids Sri Lanka of some of its evil-doers. When you realise that all of this was achieved by the simple power of his faith in Rama's name, there is a natural onrush of faith in the name and the belief that all troubles vanish with its repetition. It may not be possible for everyone to read and understand Kamban's version of the Ramayana. But the same beautiful effect has been achieved by Pazha. Pazhaniappan's simple but sweet rendition of the Sundara Kandam. It is certain to invoke feelings of faith, unalloyed happiness, and peace. This audiobook offers another attraction. It also contains a short exposition on the benefits of reading Sundara Kandam and the method of reading it.

Members Reviews: Interesting story, distracting narration Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Only to someone with an existing interest in Tibetan Buddhism or Chinese communism. The book itself is filled with meaningless asides and dead end stories, interesting because of the context, but individually, boring and lend nothing to the story. What did you like best about this story? The inside glimpse into the history of the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Would you be willing to try another one of Mark Ashbys performances? I would avoid books with this narrator. He annoyingly tries to pronounce names with and absurd accent and when he isn't butchering Tibetan he sounds like a newscaster from the 1950's. Do you think Surviving the Dragon needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Naked-Buddha-Audiobook/B002V8NCOU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Adrienne Howley's purpose is to demystify Buddhism, stripping away the layers of ritual and iconography that have grown up around it over the centuries, and to present the original, basic tenets and practices in a way that will be appealing to Western readers. ©1999, 2002, and 2003 Venerable Adrienne Howley; (P)2005 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd. Critic Reviews: "A streamlined, appealing primer for everything you wanted to know about Buddhism but were afraid to ask." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A very good place to start I have always been interested in Buddhism and found this audio book to be an excellent introduction to future study. The narration is done well and I found it very easy to pay attention to. Perhaps most helpful is the list of questions she answers at the end that most beginners would have. To her, Buddhism is not a religion but a way of looking at the world. It is completely compatible with other religions. If you are just curious about Buddhism, this is a good place to start. Excellent intro to Buddhism This was exactly what I was looking for. Being new to Buddhism I was confused by all of the available literature on this subject and was looking for what I now consider to be an a wonderfully, unfettered introduction to what Buddhism really is and what it means for me. It has given me more confidence in my pursuit to understand Buddhism and myself. Good listen I liked her approach. Clear and simple, yet still enough depth to give a good idea what it's all about. Very Enlightening! I found this book interesting and informative. Delivered in a light-hearted and honest manner that the narrator captures very well! I recommend this audiobook! I have listening to this book at least three times Very good listen, the narrators voice is lovely and captivating. The story of this Buddhist Nun is very fascinating and her insight and wisdom has been immensely helpful in my new journey into the Buddhist philosophy. Great for those that are just starting to travel the path of the Buddha. She is very simple and matter of fact, states her wisdom plainly and clearly, yet holds your interest to a high level. I have listening to this book at least three times, every time finding new insight and great wisdom. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Nuevos-pensamientos-para-una-vida-mejor-Change-Your-Thoughts-Change-Your-Life-Audiobook/B073K2459S Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> Título: Nuevos pensamientos para una vida mejor [Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life] Subtitular: La sabiduría del tao Autor: Wayne W.

È formato da 423 versetti raccolti in 26 capitoli. Si dice che sia stato realmente pronunciato da Gautama Buddha. Il Dhammapada - ossia "La Giusta Via"- non può essere considerato un libro solo religioso. La parola "dio" non è mai presente, tuttavia non si tratta nemmeno di un testo "filosofico" o agnostico. Possiamo catalogarlo piuttosto come un saggio di cura e guarigione, per il suo messaggio finalizzato alla redenzione e all'armonia del corpo e dell'anima degli esseri viventi proprio nel loro viaggio terreno, durante la loro vita che così si carica di valore e unicità. La "Giusta Via" non esplora e non tenta di spiegare dogmi, piuttosto suggerisce uno stile di vita. Le parole che Siddharta usa sono leggere, rispettose, sincere, benevole, equilibrate e perfettamente consone alle leggi del taoismo che dicono "Se parli del tao, non è il vero tao" e che, nella nostra cultura, possono essere lette in questo modo: "Se parli di dio, non è il vero dio". ©2017 GOODmood (P)2017 GOODmood biacuaduc@gmail.com (autore sconosciuto) Mon, 17 Apr 2017 21:25:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Dhammapada-La-Via-del-Buddha-Audiobook/B06Y6PGV4K thebookvoice.com 01:43:00 no Ascolta questo titolo per intero gratuitamente su thebookvoice.com Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> Titolo: Dhammapada - La Via del Buddha Autore: autore sconosciuto Narratore: Edoardo Lomazzi, Alice Pagotto Formato: Unabridged Durata: 1 hr and 43 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 04-17-17 Editore: GoodMood Categoria: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Riepilogo Editore: Il "Dhammapada", detto anche "percorso del Dharma", è un testo del Canone buddhista che si trova anche in quello cinese e tibetano.

Title: Buddhism for Beginners Subtitle: A Step-by-Step Guide Author: Michael Harris Narrator: Matt Haynes Format: Unabridged Length: 38 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-17 Publisher: Michael Harris Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Buddhism is a religion and dharma that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and spiritual practices largely based on teachings attributed to the Buddha. Buddhism originated in Ancient India sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, from where it spread through much of Asia, whereafter it declined in India during the Middle Ages. Two major extant branches of Buddhism are generally recognized by scholars: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Buddhism is the world's fourth-largest religion, with over 520 million followers or over 7% of the global population, known as Buddhists. Buddhist schools vary on the exact nature of the path to liberation, the importance and canonicity of various teachings and scriptures, and especially their respective practices. Practices of Buddhism include taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, study of scriptures, observance of moral precepts, renunciation of craving and attachment, the practice of meditation (including calm and insight), the cultivation of wisdom, loving-kindness and compassion, the Mahayana practice of bodhicitta and the Vajrayana practices of generation stage and completion stage. In Theravada the ultimate goal is the cessation of the kleshas and the attainment of the sublime state of Nirvana, achieved by practicing the Noble Eightfold Path (also known as the Middle Way), thus escaping what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Theravada has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. Mahayana, which includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Shingon and Tiantai (Tendai), is found throughout East Asia. Rather than Nirvana, Mahayana instead aspires to Buddhahood via the bodhisattva path, a state wherein one remains in the cycle of rebirth to help other beings reach awakening. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael Harris) Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:23:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhism-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B076FHTT1F thebookvoice.com 00:38:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great start into Buddhism In depth introduction into Buddhism and Buddhist beliefs. Very comprehensive and a quick listen. Recommend for anyone curious about the religion. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review I have a better understanding of Buddhism. Though I have been interested in learning more about the teachings of Buddhism this is my first book on the subject. I requested this book in exchange for my honest review. I feel like I got good information for a beginner. It did leave me wanting to know more about this fascinating religion though. I highly recommend this book to anyone curious about the beliefs of a Buddhist. A solid base to work from For what it is Buddhism for Beginners is a wonderful book. You wont find any life altering nuggets of wisdom within its pages, but if you are interested in Buddhism and need a place to start I cant think of a better place to look. Matt Haynes voice is pleasant and easily understood through the whole book. Not sure what else to say aside from if you want to learn about Buddhism there are way worse places you could look. I received this audiobook in exchange for a honest and fair review. Interesting and helpful! I really enjoyed this quick introduction to Buddhism. I came into this not knowing much about the Buddhism and I feel like I learned a lot in the 30 minutes it took to listen to this audio. I have a better understanding of Buddhism now and I am interested in exploring more.

(P)1996 Audio Literature; ©1994 Thomas Cleary Members Reviews: Settle the matter for yourself The challenge of zen is to settle this matter of life and death for yourself in this moment. Any book that gives you mere philosophy, or dogma, should be immediately tossed away. Foyan points out the way directly; an indispensable guide. This book might change your life This is pure Zen philosophy without the ritual nonsense about tea ceremonies, mediation techniques and sitting positions. If you like Alan Watts, then you will love this book. Buddhist "pick me up" This is the kind of dhamma talk that cuts through all the concepts we flap around to distract ourselves from seeing what's real, even if it hurts at first. Great talk, great teacher. No apologies for slightly stilted language, it doesn't take anything away from this communication. Content excellent, reading poor This is not read by Thomas Cleary, the narrator did not bother to find out how to pronounce the names of the Chan masters quoted properly, making the listening quite awkward. The content, however, as all of Cleary's work, is excellent. Audible should present more from his Zen corpus (not just the 'Art of War' stuff). Seriouse folks.. A MUST READ* Amazing teacher! This is one of the BEST teachers I have heard. Sadly, I feel there's a lot of false zen teachers in the west right now misguiding students.. Many of which hold tittles in various lineages, guiding students, running temples & zendo's. This book has helped me in so may ways... for one, to see that I was not alone in what I have seen. Master Foyan cuts trough all the BS that was present in his time & is clearly the same situation in our modern era.. His "no apologies" style teachings call it as he sees it, hitting the mark right on the nose.. This book will help anyone who is interest in gaining the eyes to see which Teachers are full of BS & which are not, & help you gain the eyes to see true Dharma for yourself. If this teacher was alive today, I wouldn't be writing this review because I'd be on my way to his monastery. If you would rather stop being fooled by false teachers & wake up today, instead of sleeping on your cushion for another 10 years... then this is the book for you! He even brings up some valid criticism of the "present moment" style teachers that interestingly enough seem to be on the rise again today.

Title: Reality Without Filters Subtitle: Ching-Ching's Sound of Raindrops Author: Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei Narrator: Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei Format: Original Recording Length: 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-19-06 Publisher: Dharma Communications Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: It's very difficult to experience life directly. Our conditioning and ordinary way of perceiving often creates a haze that prevents accurate perception. One of the most painful aspects of this fog is our feeling of separation; as a result of this misapprehension we follow after things and lose ourselves. The truth is that our inherent nature is one of unity. This unity is not something we have to accomplish; it's something we simply need to discover. Following the spiritual path helps loosen the hold of our conditioning and see reality as it truly is: clear, bright, and unhindered. This new vision helps us to navigate our own lives, and it also allows us to offer greater assistance to the world around us. Zen Buddhism emphasizes zazen, or seated meditation, as the means to study the self and understand who we truly are. Dharma talks are an essential aspect of Zen training and take place in the context of zazen. Said to be "dark to the mind and radiant to the heart", a dharma talk is one of the ways in which a teacher points directly to the heart of the teachings of the Buddha. In our meditation practice, it is easy to get lost in self-doubt, fantasy, numbness, and emotional agitation. Dharma talks help to ground our practice, providing inspiration and an essential recognition of exactly where we find ourselves, so that we can learn to face difficulties and obstacles with a free and flexible mind. This talk was given at Zen Mountain Monastery or the Zen Center of New York City of the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism, founded in 1980 by the late American Zen Master John Daido Loori, Roshi (1931-2009). biacuaduc@gmail.com (Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei) Fri, 19 May 2006 14:43:44 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Reality-Without-Filters-Audiobook/B002V9Z4L8 thebookvoice.com 00:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Inner Secret: Faqir Chand on Visions Author: David Christopher Lane Narrator: Don Abad Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: MSAC Philosophy Group Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: There is no doubt in my mind that Faqir Chand is one of the most important shabd yoga masters in history and that his frank confessions of unknowingness are of vital importance for those interested in religion and spiritual masters. Faqir reveals what other gurus will not. Here in the MSAC Philosophy Group at Mt. San Antonio College, it is our wish to republish almost all of Faqir Chand's books and pamphlets in English and give them a wider audience. This book, The Secret of Inner Visions, contains judicious selections from Faqir's small book, The Essence of Truth. Since the latter book contains more or less verbatim transcriptions from several of Faqir Chand's satsangs, readers should be aware of its more vernacular and informal tone. Nevertheless, a close reading of Faqir Chand's radical thinking will undoubtedly have a liberating impact on the reader since he doesn't mince words. One of the most refreshing aspects of Faqir's philosophy is that he readily admits that he doesn't ultimately know anything (similar to his Greek counterpart, Socrates, and the Chinese poet Lao Tzu) and that he is most open to being wrong. In all my many travels to India and my interviews with scores of shabd yoga teachers, I have never met a more honest and forthcoming spiritual teacher than Faqir Chand. He is perhaps the most straightforward guru in history. In the early 1980s I coined the term the Chandian Effect, which describes in a nutshell what Faqir realized about inner visions and other miraculous incidents. Whenever a person has a spiritual vision of a holy man or woman, they invariably believe that such an apparition is real and manifests of its own accord. But according to Faqir Chand's realization, none of these visions are objectively real since they arise (even if unconsciously) from one's own mind and that the personage one beholds is ignorant about such a manifestation. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Christopher Lane) Fri, 22 Dec 2017 03:41:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Inner-Secret-Faqir-Chand-on-Visions-Audiobook/B078JRZ44B thebookvoice.com 01:09:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Goleman's contribution = 5 stars... ... but it is evident that this is supplemental audio to a book that contains the actual content. With respect to its usefulness as a meditation coach the recording format leaves a bit to be desired. There are 4 (I think) meditations and a brief intro, but the recording isn't divided up that way. This makes it difficult to locate the one you want. I re-recorded it just to divide it up logically. That said... it's worth 7 bucks. excellent Better than anything on you tube, these are great for daily practice. my favorite is the Body Scan. Short story Informative but short on content. Perhaps more useful if more examples were included. A medical analysis would've added to the depth of material. Good basic understanding but not relaxing Provides a good background on the basic methods although I found the readers very noticeable in breaths between sentences off putting. As a result was unable to relax. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Guru-Question-Audiobook/B01BLSHWE6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The first English edition was published in 1934. The Reverend Dr. Yehan Numata brought out another English edition in 1962, and in 1966, after the establishment of the Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai (Society for the Promotion of Buddhism), Dr. Numata assembled a committee of Buddhist scholars to substantially revise and edit a new English-Japanese edition. Buddha's Teachings has undergone minor revisions and numerous reprintings since. It is now available in 41 languages, and over 7 million copies have been distributed and placed in hotel rooms in over 50 countries throughout the world. Editorial Reviews: The Reverend Dr. Yehan Numata founded the Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai in order to spread the Buddhist religion throughout the world, and Buddha's Teachings - originally published in 1925 in Japan - is a great introduction to this Eastern practice that preaches a purity of mind and spirit for greater happiness. Listeners are taught some of the core tenets of Buddhism, such as compassion and the negative consequences of desire.

Members Reviews: A Great & Simple Introduction! Don't let the age of this book fool you. It's an excellent introduction to the basics of what The Buddha taught; explaining The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path in a creative and different way that I've read elsewhere. The narrator has an excellent voice, the audio is crystal clear. It's a down to earth, simple and easy to understand explanation. I was pleasantly surprised with this. Not very useful for advanced practitioners perhaps, but an excellent introduction on the basics. very enlightening...get it? ha. but seriously. this is a great book, I mainly bought this out of curiosity, but I've listened to it three times now and it's well worth the money, my only complaint is I would like to hear a better quality recording. but the quality isn't bad enough for me to justify to much complaining https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Beloved-Vol-2-Audiobook/B074Q1DZS7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Osho also responds to seekers' questions, and no matter what the question may be, the answers he gives always convey the trust, oneness, and love experienced by the Bauls. Osho says of the Bauls: "Theirs is the path of the dancer, the singer, and the aesthetic man." The essence of their religion is revealed in their song: "Only the connoisseur of the flavors of love can comprehend the language of a lover's heart."

The Voice of the Silence, first published in 1889, is described by the author as "chosen fragments from the Book of the Golden Precepts, for the daily use of disciples". While the legitimacy of the source document has been questioned by scholars, the celebrated Buddhist authority D. T. Suzuki stated that the book demonstrated a deep understanding of advanced Buddhist principles.

Practice tips are included with each essay. Dharma is our gradual awakening to the truth and the recognition of our unique path. Dharma is not something I chose; it chose me. These are some of my insights over 25 years of intensive study, practice, and teaching of yoga. Much of it centers on hatha yoga (postures and breath work) because that is the main practice in the West. Like other branches of yoga, it is a training of mind and heart so that we experience life with grace and equanimity.

Members Reviews: Charles Kasler's Dharma Essays Charles Kasler's Dharma Essays have been invaluable to me. I am new to Yoga and I now have more of an understanding of the purpose and philosophy of Yoga. I like the way Charles gently and with humor and sensitivity tells the personal story of his journey and studies to become a teacher of Yoga. Also, his noting the leaders in establishing yoga postures and meditation and the religious leaders was helpful as I could research their lives and gain an understanding of how they came to their knowledge and what they added to the Yoga story. I read through all of the essays and then went back to spend a few days on each essay as there were so many layers of knowledge to understand. I still have much to learn from re-reading through the wealth of information contained in these writings. As the essays are on my Kindle I found that I was reading them while waiting for appointments or for my car to be serviced and I found a peaceful quiet surround me from immersing myself and thinking about the content of the essay I was reading. Dharma by Charles kasler This is an overview of the acceptance and practice of yoga. It is a way of life that can be beneficial to overall health. Mind body and spirit can all grow to gain practice from this ancient teaching. Nice Read for yogis and non You probably would need to actually practice to truly enjoy this book, but it was excellent. Many different viewpoints from many sources. It gathers information on the philosophy without getting technical. Possibly interesting for non-yogis as an introduction and overview. It defines many types but is not devoted to one or the other. Enjoyed it a lot. Serendipity Much better than i expected.I wanted to understand a little about yoga from a long time practitioner and I found a lot of it applicable to the practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. Thoughtful meditations I use this as a vestibule to my present moment yoga and meditation practice. I have practiced yoga since 1972, when my mother nagged me into attending a YWCA hatha yoga class.... Well, mothers do know best.

Members Reviews: well written and well spoken his work is well written and equally well narrated by Ben Kingsley. The only place where I did not agree with the author was when he said that Brahmanical "Moksha" was renamed to "Nirvana" by Buddha and its ritualistic dependence was de-emphasized by Buddha. This is not fully accurate, IMHO. All pre-Buddhist Upnishads had essentially said the same thing as Buddha when they said that rituals do not lead to "Moksha" and it can be attained only through knowledge of Brahman acquired through meditation and self-reflection. This is why the ritual section of Vedas is called "Karma Kanda" , or "Ritual Section" and liberation or "Moksha" related section of Vedas , i.e., Upnishads/Vedanta is called "Jnana Kanda" or "Knowlege Section". In Buddha's time the corrupted Brahmin clergy emphasized mainly the "Karma Kanda" section of Vedas, ignoring the "Jnana Kanda" section which has a higher authority within vedic framework. So there was nothing radically different in Buddha de-emphasizing the need of rituals for Moksha or Nirvana. It was more of revival of an earlier Vedantic Sharaminic tradition, rather than a revolt against it, which was very much also a part of Brahmanism even before Buddha. Upnishads were a product of this tradition much before Buddha appeared on scene. What Buddha did that was a bit radical was to open the gates of this teaching for all and sundry rather than keeping it esoteric and restricted to certain groups. The book has been written with a great deal scholarly rigour and is far superior to other works on Buddhism written by hobby Buddhists or some other New-Age teachers based on their own self-projections (on what Buddha ought to have been ... like being a "rebel", "atheist", "rationalist", etc) rather than on what the academic facts say. This work has neutral tone which is very good. I recommend this book. Understanding Buddhism This book was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to know the history of Buddhism and this book said it beautifully. I have shared this story with my mom who listens to it regularly while she works with her plants. If ever I wish to be at peace with my day, listening to this story changes my outlook and brings my mind at ease. I have also listened to "The Middle Way (Unabridged): The Story of Buddhism" which I also love. A meaningful introduction I heard this by chance - Not particularly looking for Buddhism but in general seeking anything that would stimulate my long driving journeys everyday. This rendering of Buddhism will defintiely waken up one's dormant intellect towards asking some relevant and improtant questions. My interst in Buddhism has now grown 10 times. Infact I started hearing the another book I had downloaded long back about similar thinking 'The Power of Now'. Now I am once again a seeker in my life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Buddha-and-His-Dhamma-Audiobook/B00PMERWIC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The first part explores the Buddha's mission, the second his doctrine and path. Excerpt from the introduction: "That the Buddha's teaching should remain perennially relevant throughout the changing eras of human history, that his message should be undimmed by the sheer passage of time, is already implicit in the title by which he is most commonly known. For the word 'Buddha', as is widely known, is not a proper name but an honorific title meaning 'the Enlightened One', 'the Awakened One'. This title is given to him because he has woken up from the deep sleep of ignorance in which the rest of the world is absorbed; because he has penetrated the deepest truths about the human condition; and because he proclaims those truths with the aim of awakening others and enabling them to share his realization. Despite the shifting scenarios of history over 25 centuries, despite the change in world views and modes of thought from one epoch to the next, the basic truths of human life do not change. They remain constant, and are recognizable to those mature enough to reflect on them and intelligent enough to understand them. For this reason, even today in our age of jet travel, computer technology, and genetic engineering, it is perfectly fitting that the One who has Awakened should speak to us in words that are just as powerful, just as cogent, just as illuminating as they were when they were first proclaimed long ago in the towns and villages of Northeast India." biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bhikkhu Bodhi) Mon, 17 Nov 2014 03:30:06 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Buddha-and-His-Dhamma-Audiobook/B00PMERWIC thebookvoice.com 00:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Five Stars Excellent lectures about Buddhism and the Buddha from the Theravada tradition Another Gem by Bhikkhu Bodhi When passing through Sri Lanka recently I visited the BPS bookstore and saw this booklet. It is a little gem. The booklet of about 45 pages consists of two lectures given by the scholarly monk, Bhikkhu Bodhi, to an audience with little prior knowledge of the Buddha or Buddhism. The Description given above with the "Excerpt from the Introduction" gives an excellent overview of the lecture: The Buddha and His Mission. The second lecture, The Buddha's Dhamma, discusses the Doctrine and the Path. The Doctrine is the philosophical overview that focuses on an understanding of the Four Noble Truths. The Path is the practice, the practical application of the Four Noble Truths using the Noble Eightfold Path to come out of suffering. This booklet is not only a succinct introduction for understanding the Buddha, the Doctrine, and the Path, it is also useful as a reminder of details for those who know the Buddha's teachings through Dhamma readings or by walking the Path. The end of the lecture emphasizes that developing a Buddha Dhamma practice is not just for monks and nuns. The practice integrates spiritual development into the affairs of everyday life that will bring to society more harmony, peace, and good will. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Some-Answered-Questions-Audiobook/B01LYOTDQS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Reference Book This is a tremendous religious reference book for people of all faiths -perhaps excluding radical fundamentalist with closed minds? It contains "common sense" answers to some of religions most perplexing questions. Some religions teach never question their (so called) religious leaders; while Baha'u'llah taught us to question everything-which, I think, is more spiritually healthy. Describes God Describes God! INVISIBLE...INACCESSIBLE...INCOMPREHENSIBLE...PURE ESSENCE...which cannot be described Beautiful book The best book ever. Everyone should read it to understand things the clergy doesnt teach.

If you're in your head all the time, this book will help bring you back down into your body. The beginning has a short meditation sequence, but after that it's mostly the author talking about connection the earth and the physical plane. lovely visualization I felt so much better after allowing my Self to go in to this information and visualization. I definitely felt at one with my body, my body felt connected with the earth. So often I feel as though I'm giving higher energy centers most the attention. This audio allowed me to Know how I am meant to be connected to earth as well as heaven. I felt much more physical energy after actively listening & participating with it. I didn't realize I was unbalanced until this audio helped me awaken my lower body and get my feet on/in the ground. my head feels relief, too. I'm loving this feeling of lower energy--I feel like moving into my earth life, a feeling I haven't had in awhile. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Natural-Freedom-Audiobook/B017HU8MNM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Guide to Living Fully When I first sat down to listen to "Natural Freedom", I was quite prepared to analyze each of the seven principles memorize and post them in my Day Planner for a daily reminder. I soon found out that this was not a doctrine to commit to memory. Quite the contrary, it is a set of principles that I can really feel into and carry in my heart not just through my daily process, but for life. Listening to Alan Clements's own incredible journey gives me the courage to realize that the tough questions can be asked and answered through self-inquiry, and that our own quest for freedom doesn't just lie within our inner journey but that special connection that we have with others. For anyone who truly wants to live life more fully, passionately and compassionately these tapes are a beautiful gift for you and others to share. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddhism-Buddhism-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B01D3SFOUQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Buddhism is essentially hailed to be a "way of life" which aims at helping people gain a deeper understanding of how things are to be tackled and dealt with.

I like that the author of this book only brings out a little bit of this religion. Iâve searched all over the internet, and needless to say, that there are many (too many sometimes) sources on Buddhism. They are free, but I donât think gathering bits and pieces of information from here and there, managed to enlighten me on this subject. Hence why I preferred to get a kindle book. I have absolutely 0% knowledge on Buddhism but 100% interest in curiosity in it. This book is very short and brief, but this is a better starter for me to understand this religion. The book starts off with the story of âwho is the Buddha?â He was a Shakyan prince, who later left all his luxuries and founded Buddhism. Iâve read a much more detailed (over-detailed) script with pali words here and there, that still has my head in jumbles. I prefer this short explanation. Then there is the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. A good read This was a very easy read. For someone who came into the book knowing very little about the religion, I learned the basics from this book in an easy to understand format. I am not actually a Buddhist myself, but people of any religious belief or none at all can take something useful about of this book, and the teachings of Buddha. He was certainly an enlightened man, and by applying the things that he taught you can lead a more fulfilling existence. I am going to recommend this book to other people that I know, particularly those who can benefit from applying the teachings of peace and tranquility to their own lives. good for the price. This book was inexpensive and auto-downloaded, which is great. It's quite short, which is appropriate to the price and concept of being "for beginners." I liked the basics that were included, the three jewels, eight-fold path, and descriptions, etc, but the copy editing was pretty crappy. :) Great content but someone should have really proofread this before it was published. That being said, I'm still glad I read it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Maya-The-Physics-of-Deception-Audiobook/B078KKQG41 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Rhys Davids Narrator: Jinananda, Vishvantara Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 09-07-15 Publisher: Dharma AudioBooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This remarkable collection of 73 verses contained in the 'Khuddaka Nikaya' section of the Pali Canon dates from the BC 6th century. It is said to be the earliest voices of women in recorded history. The verses, some brief, some more extended, are the utterances of the bhikkhunis, the nuns at the time of the Buddha, concerning their life and their awakening. Often they give a penetrating insight to the life of women in ancient India: high-ranking members of courts, courtesans, wives of merchants and farmers - women from all social levels who left their homes to follow the spiritual life as forest renunciants. This recording also includes the personal histories of many of the individuals written by the 6th century CE monk Dharmapala who had access to sources which are now lost. Among these individuals are some famous bhikkhunis whose stories are more widely known, including Kisagotami (and the mustard seed), Mahapajapati Gotami (the first woman to request ordination from the Buddha), and Dhammadinna (once praised by the Buddha for her Dhamma talk). biacuaduc@gmail.com (K.

Title: Religions of the World: The History and Beliefs of Hinduism Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Todd Van Linda Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? Throughout time, people have been religious by nature, and billions today adhere to unique faiths across the world. In Charles River Editors' Religions of the World, listeners can get caught up to speed on today's religions and yesterday's religions in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In the west, Hinduism is a religion that everyone has heard of, but one that few nonpractitioners truly understand. Today, it is widely regarded as one of the world's great religions and considered the indigenous religion of India, with practices and beliefs stretching back thousands of years. However, many of these so-called facts are actually erroneous. Hinduism, as it is conceived of today, is a conglomerate of a number of indigenous Indian religions; in fact, prior to the migration of Islam and the corporate invasion of the British, Hinduism may not have existed at all. Rather, a number of local religious traditions had very old belief systems dating back hundreds or thousands of years, depending on the tradition, and many worshiped gods that are no longer worshiped today. In essence, it was only the nonindigenous populations in India, namely the Turks and later the British, who defined what Hinduism was. The British in particular asked only a certain subset of native informants from Bengal "what their religion was" and got a very particular answer, giving rise to the west's perception of a singular religious Indian tradition known as Hinduism. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Wed, 13 May 2015 14:12:49 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Religions-of-the-World-The-History-and-Beliefs-of-Hinduism-Audiobook/B00XK92FGK thebookvoice.com 01:11:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Essense of Zen I've been waiting a long time for a good audio version of Hsin Hsin Ming and so I was very happy to discover this excellent overview of this key text in Zen literature. The author does a good job of doing a line-by-line explanation of the poem. I especially appreciated his use of the variety of translations in this commentary. He showed that there is more than one way to interpret the text. As with all things Zen, listeners are free to reach their own conclusions. Undivided A softly presented introduction to the infinite number of perspectives available to the thinker on the single undivided non-concept of non-duality :-) Clear and helpful commentary. This important teaching is read at the right pace and with a wonderful voice, ideally suited to this profound spiritual teaching. A great guide to the Hsin Hsin Ming. Beautiful narration and content The poem itself is one of the best descriptions of non-duality. Explanation and narration perfect. format is a bit off liked the work, but it's a bit formulaic - verse, translations, repeat. it felt like I'd already need to understand the topic to get anything from this book https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Dhammapada-Vol-7-Audiobook/B073WKP6Q9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Dhammapada Vol. 7 Subtitle: The Way of the Buddha Author: Osho Narrator: Osho Format: Original Recording Length: 15 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 10-26-17 Publisher: Osho International Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Osho explains that these sutras are concerned with aspects of man's unawareness and that Buddha's whole message is concerned with the raising of our consciousness. These sutras were compiled by Buddha's disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. At the beginning of his commentaries on these sutras, Osho says he is setting the Wheel of Dharma in motion again. "Buddha transformed the word meditation. Meditation had always been something of the mind, and Buddha brought a new quality, so totally new, diametrically opposite to the old meaning: He said, meditation means a state of no mind. It is not concentration; it is not contemplation. It is not thinking; it is not thinking about God. It is not even prayer - because thinking is of the head, intellectual; prayer is emotional. That is another side of the head, not very far away from it; a different language used by another part of the head." (Osho) Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. "These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence." biacuaduc@gmail.com (Osho) Thu, 26 Oct 2017 09:01:21 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Dhammapada-Vol-7-Audiobook/B073WKP6Q9 thebookvoice.com 15:40:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Secret Teachings of the Universe, Volume 2 Author: Mitchell Earl Gibson Narrator: Mitchell Earl Gibson Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-15 Publisher: Sector 5 Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Many ancient cultures teach that sacred knowledge continuously emerges from the universe in the form of the primordial teachings. These universal truths come into being spontaneously and exist perpetually and eternally because they cannot be destroyed. As time and consciousness pass from one world to the next, these sacred truths of eternal wisdom reveal themselves, granting mortal man the opportunity to learn the true nature of the Creator's intentions regarding the universal forces that control everything around us, the higher mind, and the hidden workings of the process of enlightenment. Part two of this series is focused on expanding human consciousness. We cover the following advanced studies: How do the primordial teachings reach our planet? What is primordial radiation? What are the universal forces that are radiated by the primordial particles? How does primordial radiation affect human consciousness? How can we use primordial energy to increase our spiritual power? Why does the primordial power within remain dormant in the vast majority of people? What role do primordial particles play in the lives and functions of animals, plants, and humans? How may we understand and develop the energy potential of these particles for the advancement of mankind? Dr. Mitchell Earl Gibson is a board-certified forensic psychiatrist, author, and public speaker. He received his medical degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, completing his residency training at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. Gibson's profound life experiences, documented in his book Your Immortal Body of Light, have led him on a healing path outside of traditional medicine.

This series of talks offers a deeper understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness. It's a beautiful introduction to a world where each individual has the capacity for an instant and profound understanding of existence and a rebirth of the trust in life that each of us is born with. Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories.

Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories. This volume is part of the Osho Classics series and also includes Osho's responses to questions about the meditation technique of Zazen. Members Reviews: onelove Osho's message is needed Now I love Osho's Zen sticks...nothing like get hit with the truth to wake you up Fantastic... as long as you don't mind getting your ego put in place Intelligent funny and well spoken! Some times he isn't easy to understand, but you will become familiar with his mannerisms and speech making it easy to understand.

Members Reviews: A book about other books mostly but still informative as an introduction Be aware that this is a book about other books on the Jain Religion. It is a great place to start if you are curious about the Jain religion, to get some basic information, and want to know what books to get to go deeper into further study. I personally was just curious and this book was a good introduction and provided me with an excellent idea of which books to read next for more in depth knowledge.

Title: Sutta Nipata Subtitle: The Group of Discourses Author: K. R. Norman - translator Narrator: Jinananda Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-16 Publisher: Dharma Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: It is widely accepted that the Sutta Nipata contains 'the earliest recorded version' of the Buddha's teaching. It is an anthology of poetry and prose - 70 titled suttas of varied instruction and temperament arranged in five chapters. At the start are two of its most famous suttas: The Snake, in which the actions of the practising bhikkhu approaching liberation is likened to a snake that 'leaves its old worn-out skin'; and The Rhinoceros Horn, which expounds the virtue of solitude for those with serious spiritual intent. But this anthology is full of character and characters: the Buddha condemns caste (which still blights Indian society); he engages with a varied host of questioners, from householders and brahmins to spiritual seekers, clarifying their confusions and exhorting them to pursue a path of wisdom and compassion. Uncompromising and ancient in tone, it offers a flavour of the very early days of the Buddha's teaching and the India of his time. K. R.

Title: The Bhagavad Gita (Lives of Great Religious Books) Subtitle: A Biography Author: Richard H. Davis Narrator: Vikas Adam Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Bhagavad Gita, perhaps the most famous of all Indian scriptures, is universally regarded as one of the world's spiritual and literary masterpieces. Richard Davis tells the story of this venerable and enduring book, from its origins in ancient India to its reception today as a spiritual classic that has been translated into more than 75 languages. The Gita opens on the eve of a mighty battle, when the warrior Arjuna is overwhelmed by despair and refuses to fight. He turns to his charioteer, Krishna, who counsels him on why he must. In the dialogue that follows, Arjuna comes to realize that the true battle is for his own soul. Davis highlights the place of this legendary dialogue in classical Indian culture, and then examines how it has lived on in diverse settings and contexts. He looks at the medieval devotional traditions surrounding the divine character of Krishna and traces how the Gita traveled from India to the West, where it found admirers in such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Aldous Huxley. Davis explores how Indian nationalists like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda used the Gita in their fight against colonial rule, and how contemporary interpreters reanimate and perform this classical work for audiences today. An essential biography of a timeless masterpiece, this audiobook is an ideal introduction to the Gita and its insights into the struggle for self-mastery that we all must wage. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Richard H.

Members Reviews: Excellent, wide-ranging intro to the Gita Any additional comments? I have now listened to this book three times, and each time I have learned new things. It covers an enormous range of topics, including both ancient and contemporary approaches to the Gita, and it introduces all the historical figures so that they really come to life in memorable ways. Even if you have never read the Gita, this is a great book to read, and the final chapter which compares some different translations will be a big help to you in finding which version will be best suited to your interests. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Mett-Audiobook/B00RNBCG5G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Hinduism: This Is Hinduism Subtitle: Learn the Basics About Hindu Beliefs, Gods, and Rituals Author: Jane Peters Narrator: Brian Schell Format: Unabridged Length: 32 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-16 Publisher: Jane Peter Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This audiobook contains an easily accessible overview of the Hindu religion, with a focus on those coming from the Western religions and cultures. While quite a few of us in the west are familiar with at least some aspects of the religion (karma, for instance), most of us lack any real depth of understanding of the complexities and nuances of one of the world's oldest and most diverse religions. I hope that by listening to this book you can at least begin to scratch the surface of this rich and intricate religion. We will cover the basics of the belief system, including the concepts of karma, reincarnation, ahimsa, and the one Supreme Being. These concepts unite all the various sects of the Hindu religion, as well as all of the regional and familial variations in what is a rich and complex religion. The pantheon of the gods is described, with an emphasis on each god's function. The rich symbolism present in their depictions is also explored, for a small sampling of the main deities. A full treatment of the symbolism is a subject worthy of a full semester college course. Not only is Hinduism rich in its diversity of gods and goddesses, it is also filled with many different rituals and festivals. Some of the most important rituals that punctuate the life of a Hindu are described. Rituals that are performed for pregnancy, birth, and death are common. Like we are accustomed to in the west, the Hindu religion also celebrates many holidays. I describe some of the most popular. Finally, I give a brief overview of what can only be considered one of the largest collections of religious scriptures in the world. They number over 100, though not all are accorded the same significance. This work is intended to serve as a jumping off point for you to begin your self-exploration of the world's oldest and third largest religion.

Title: Siththamellam Sivamayam Author: Uma Sampath Narrator: Jothi Aranga Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-08 Publisher: New Horizon Media Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: If we want to define Siddhas in a word, they are "marmayogis", in possession of the great secret of living, not easily understood by ordinary men. They have understood the meaning of the cycle of birth and death. They have directly experienced the divine by means of their meditative powers. But despite their detachment, they are full of love and goodwill for ordinary men. Siddhas have taken human birth only to hold up a mirror for the self-development of ordinary individuals. They have shown the infinite treasure house of self knowledge. The siddha system of medicine is synonymous with the Tamil system. The mushrooming of yoga centers all over the country owes its genesis to their system of medicine. They have performed several wondrous deeds. For example, walking on water and fire, flying in air, leaving one body and assuming another, transforming ordinary earth to gold, these are some of the things they have shown. Whole mountains have been transformed into gold. A siddha saint who lived the life of an ordinary goatherd shook the nine planets. It was a siddha saint who helped Raja Raja Chozhan to install a lingam in the Thanjavur temple. In Srirangam, the presiding deity happily gifted his jewels and another siddha saint controlled Kali in a cemetery. Yet another siddha saint dug a secret underground passage to Palani in order to clarify his doubts. Siddha saints have worked many great deeds.

He was serving as a signals officer in India when, at the conclusion of the war, he threw away his official identity cards, took off his uniform, donned yellow robes and set off, barefooted, along the dusty paths of India as a spiritual seeker, begging for his food, as the Buddha did 2,500 years ago. The determination and vision behind those early steps, combined with single-mindedness and intellectual rigour, transformed the path of Western Buddhism, for after 20 years in India Sangharakshita returned to England to found a Western Buddhist movement, now called the Triratna Buddhist Order.

Title: The Consequences of Love Subtitle: Hands and Eyes of the Great Bodhisattva of Compassion Author: Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei Narrator: Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei Format: Original Recording Length: 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-19-06 Publisher: Dharma Communications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Pick up a newspaper or turn on the television, and you're bound to see suffering. And it's not just on the news; we struggle with great and small issues all the time, as do our families and friends. How do we respond to the cries of the world? There's so much suffering that it often seems easier to retreat into distance and cold-heartedness, but each of us is born with the ability to give. When we allow that giving to happen naturally, something comes to life: we learn to listen to the cries of the world with our whole body and mind, and we see how easy it is to turn things around with simple actions and gifts. To really take on the responsibility of caring, to willingly accept the consequences of love, transforms our lives entirely. Zen Buddhism emphasizes zazen, or seated meditation, as the means to study the self and understand who we truly are. Dharma talks are an essential aspect of Zen training and take place in the context of zazen. Said to be "dark to the mind and radiant to the heart", a dharma talk is one of the ways in which a teacher points directly to the heart of the teachings of the Buddha. In our meditation practice, it is easy to get lost in self-doubt, fantasy, numbness, and emotional agitation. Dharma talks help to ground our practice, providing inspiration and an essential recognition of exactly where we find ourselves, so that we can learn to face difficulties and obstacles with a free and flexible mind. This talk was given at Zen Mountain Monastery or the Zen Center of New York City of the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism, founded in 1980 by the late American Zen Master John Daido Loori, Roshi (1931-2009). biacuaduc@gmail.com (Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei) Fri, 19 May 2006 19:51:23 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Consequences-of-Love-Audiobook/B002UZDVZ4 thebookvoice.com 00:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Art of Stopping Time Author: Pedram Shojai Narrator: John Sackville Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-17 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Art of Stopping Time by Pedram Shojai, read by John Sackville. The Art of Stopping Time guides the listener through 100 practices to help busy people practice mindfulness and a slowing of time wherever they might be: in the shower, sitting in traffic, or dealing with an overflowing inbox. Our perception of the scarcity of time is coupled with the epidemic of stress in the modern world, and when we don't have a positive connection with the flow of time, we lack purpose as well as develop health problems. The Art of Stopping Time offers specific meditations to empower the listener to feel like they have MORE time, even though they are probably busier than ever. This audiobook is based on the concept of a 100-Day Gong - an ancient Chinese technique for forming new habits over 100 days which the listener can simply work into their daily life. As the author explains, 'A Gong is a dedicated act of self-love and by practising these small but profound changes we are snapped out of our daily trance into the light of awareness, where we find peace and joy.' biacuaduc@gmail.com (Pedram Shojai) Tue, 24 Oct 2017 01:18:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Art-of-Stopping-Time-Audiobook/B076BX4NBQ thebookvoice.com 05:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: A Sudden Clash of Thunder Subtitle: Talks on Zen Stories Author: Osho Narrator: Osho Format: Original Recording Length: 14 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 07-05-17 Publisher: Osho International Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: According to Osho, laughter is "the very essence of Zen". And while the theme of these talks is that meditation - watching, remaining alert and aware - is the path to self-realization, Osho encourages us first to "be happy, and meditation will follow". Through Zen stories, jokes and answers to questions, Osho highlights our conditioning - our learned social and cultural behavior and beliefs - as the barrier to our natural state of happiness. Wielding his words like a humorous, compassionate Zen stick, Osho shows us how we can begin to recognize our conditioning and see that it is not the same as our authentic self.

Title: Practical Buddhism for Karma Healing Subtitle: How to Use Buddhist Principles to Repay Your Karmic Debts and Change Your Future Author: Jill OBrien Narrator: Aliz Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 49 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-17 Publisher: Jill OBrien Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Karma is the cosmic law that ensures all good deeds are rewarded, while bad deeds receive an equally deserving punishment. The concept of karma was first expressed in the ancient Hindu writings, known as the Vedas. Due to increased awareness and acceptance of eastern spiritual practices and philosophies worldwide these days, the concept of karma has become a widely accepted. It is a safe bet to say that almost the majority of us - regardless of culture, creed, and religion - do believe in some form of universal law that calls for us to act morally lest we will be faced with the repercussions. However, very few of us would take care not to violate this cosmic law. Consider this: do you ever feel like you are often at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and surrounded by the wrong people? It is as if the universe is conspiring against you. This is karma in motion. But if you often feel like a hopeless victim of fate, and believe that life can never go your way just like it had for everyone else, you could not have been more wrong. The karmic blueprint of your life is your own creation, and as such, you have the power within yourself to change it - for better or worse. Practical Buddhism for Karma Healing is a guide that will arm you with the right knowledge and practical tools to nurture your spiritual side and be free from the shackles of past "karmic debt". Using the principles and teachings of Buddhism, you will be guided towards fostering the right attitude that will have a profound positive effect on your daily life, and also help you attain inner peace. Before you know it, you will be attracting all the right people and circumstances into your life that will propel you to where we want to be. You owe it to yourself to take back the reigns of your destiny! biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jill OBrien) Tue, 05 Dec 2017 19:48:04 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Practical-Buddhism-for-Karma-Healing-Audiobook/B077XGWZ9V thebookvoice.com 00:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Srimada Bhagavad Gita for Beginners Author: J.D. Rockefeller Narrator: Doron Alon Format: Unabridged Length: 25 mins Language: English Release date: 07-31-15 Publisher: J.D. Rockefeller Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu scripture written in Sanskrit language. It was written as part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata by the sage Ved Vyas, whose full name was Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa. The scripture contains 700 verses that talk about various spiritual issues that you may come across in your life and that help in achieving liberation. "Gita" means song and "Bhagavada" means God. Together the words mean "Song of the Lord". Here Lord refers to the Hindu god, Krishna. The word "Srimada" is often added at the beginning of the name as a matter of respect, since Hindus believe that when you read the Gita, the essence of all spiritual knowledge is revealed to you. Hindus believe that the Gita was originally spoken by Lord Krishna in the holy land of Kurukshetra, the place where the Mahabharata war was fought between the feuding families, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Set in a narrative framework, the Gita is a dialogue between the Pandava prince, Arjun and Lord Krishna, who was his charioteer during this war. If you are interested to learn about life, God, creation, birth and death, karma and dharma, the undying soul, salvation, and the real purpose of human existence, the Gita can be one of the best scriptures to satisfy all your spiritual queries. Furthermore, it is written in such a melodious and harmonic rhyming meter that it can be a wonderful listening experience. biacuaduc@gmail.com (J.D.

Title: Bhagavad Gita Author: William Q. Judge Narrator: Michael Strader Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-16 Publisher: Lamp of Trismegistus Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Dating by tradition to the year 3,139 B.C., the Bhagavad Gita is the essence of Vedic knowledge and is considered by eastern and western scholars alike to be among the greatest spiritual books the world has ever been given. In a clear and wonderful way, Lord Krishna describes the science of self-realization and the exact process by which a human being can establish their eternal relationship with God. In terms of pure, spiritual knowledge, the Bhagavad Gita is incomparable. Its intrinsic beauty is that its knowledge applies to all human beings and does not postulate any sectarian ideology. It is approachable from the sanctified realms of all religions and is glorified as the epitome of all spiritual teachings. The primary purpose of the Bhagavad Gita is to illuminate for all of humanity the realization of the true nature of divinity; for the highest spiritual conception and the greatest material perfection is to attain love of God!

Title: Ambedkar and Buddhism, Annihilation of Caste Author: Urgyen Sangharakshita, Dr B. R. Ambedkar Narrator: Ratnadhya, Sagar Arya Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-16 Publisher: Dharma Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was one of the most remarkable figures in the 20th century. Born an Untouchable - the lowest element of Indian society deemed to be outside the caste system, and literally 'untouchable' - he rose from abject village poverty to become the architect of the new Constitution of India following its independence from Britain in 1947. A combination of exceptional talent, hard work and determination, vision and luck took him to Harvard and the LSE, and then back to his home country. Always, his progress was impelled by the concern for his 'Untouchable' community and it was this that underpinned work in law, politics and economics as he rapidly became a national figure who could not be ignored. He opposed Gandhi's patronising attitude towards the Untouchable community, and the violent crimes and prejudice inflicted upon it by the caste Hindu society. In the 1930s, Ambedkar proclaimed that though he was born a Hindu, he would not die a Hindu; and on 14th October 1956, with 400,000 followers, he converted to Buddhism in a mass meeting in Nagpur. This biography is by the British-born Buddhist monk Urgyen Sangharakshita who knew Ambedkar and spent decades working with the Dalit community as the Untouchables became known. It is a clear but affectionate look at a singular life which changed one of the largest nations on earth, and charts Ambedkar's gradual move towards Buddhism which he saw as the best path for his people. Bonus material: in addition to the biography is Annihilation of Caste, Ambedkar's key speech - never delivered but published in 1936 - in which he set out the reality of 'Untouchable' life and the need for change, but it is at the same time an international clarion call for human rights. It is all the more poignant as, while Untouchability is outlawed in India now thanks to Dr Ambedkar's legislation, there are 200 million Dalits in India, and violence and prejudice is still commonplace. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Urgyen Sangharakshita) Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:20:26 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Ambedkar-and-Buddhism-Annihilation-of-Caste-Audiobook/B01MA1R9NK thebookvoice.com 11:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Ambedkar and Buddhism, Annihilation of Caste Author: Urgyen Sangharakshita, Dr B. R. Ambedkar Narrator: Ratnadhya, Sagar Arya Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-16 Publisher: Dharma Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was one of the most remarkable figures in the 20th century. Born an Untouchable - the lowest element of Indian society deemed to be outside the caste system, and literally 'untouchable' - he rose from abject village poverty to become the architect of the new Constitution of India following its independence from Britain in 1947. A combination of exceptional talent, hard work and determination, vision and luck took him to Harvard and the LSE, and then back to his home country. Always, his progress was impelled by the concern for his 'Untouchable' community and it was this that underpinned work in law, politics and economics as he rapidly became a national figure who could not be ignored. He opposed Gandhi's patronising attitude towards the Untouchable community, and the violent crimes and prejudice inflicted upon it by the caste Hindu society. In the 1930s, Ambedkar proclaimed that though he was born a Hindu, he would not die a Hindu; and on 14th October 1956, with 400,000 followers, he converted to Buddhism in a mass meeting in Nagpur. This biography is by the British-born Buddhist monk Urgyen Sangharakshita who knew Ambedkar and spent decades working with the Dalit community as the Untouchables became known. It is a clear but affectionate look at a singular life which changed one of the largest nations on earth, and charts Ambedkar's gradual move towards Buddhism which he saw as the best path for his people. Bonus material: in addition to the biography is Annihilation of Caste, Ambedkar's key speech - never delivered but published in 1936 - in which he set out the reality of 'Untouchable' life and the need for change, but it is at the same time an international clarion call for human rights. It is all the more poignant as, while Untouchability is outlawed in India now thanks to Dr Ambedkar's legislation, there are 200 million Dalits in India, and violence and prejudice is still commonplace. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Buddha-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B013FD9UFO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Buddha for Beginners Author: Stephen T. Asma Narrator: John C. Winson Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 08-05-15 Publisher: Vibrance Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: Despite the widespread popularity of Buddhist practices (like meditation), there is little understanding of the complex philosophy behind Buddhism. The historical Buddha, Gautama, was a real person - a radical - who challenged the religious leaders of his day. Buddha for Beginners introduces the listener to the historical Buddha, to the ideas that made him change his life, and to the fascinating philosophical debates that engaged him and formed the core of Buddhism. Buddha for Beginners compares Buddha's philosophy with those of his contemporaries, the later Buddhist schools, and Western Philosophy. The book includes a survey distinguishing the philosophical differences among later schools of Buddhism, such as Theravada, Madhyamaika, Tantric, Zen, and others. Buddha for Beginners is not a book you hear, it is a book you experience. It makes you stop and close your eyes. Through some magical combination of words, drawings, and intuitive wisdom, Buddha for Beginners conveys not only the facts of Buddhism, but the peace, the silence...the feel of it. It is historically accurate, spiritually challenging, and the pauses mean as much as the words. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Stephen T.

Members Reviews: Best of a Bad Lot I have discovered no general guide to the history, philosophy, and practice of Buddhism that appeals to the head as much as the heart, is non-sectarian, is written in terms that are neither hostile to nor adoring of the religious system, and does not find refuge in unexplained jargon. This little book does the best job of any I have found. It has two flaws worth mentioning. The more serious is that the author finds it necessary to endorse criticism of Mahayana doctrine and practice and to boost Theravada as more authentic. As an "outsider," I would have appreciated being spared the family feud and having the same facts presented without such polemical language. Less serious, but almost as annoying, are the many drawn illustrations. It is possible to believe that some might find them helpful, but they are often frankly infantile. The Kindle edition, which I purchased, is helpful because about half of the drawings are too blurred and busy to decipher on the screen. Despite the above, a general reader with no background in the religions originating in India would find this book very informative. Barely "beginner" material While the illustrations are fun and the book is short, I don't think this should be considered a beginner book. There's a lot of new vocabulary, especially for someone with a very limited understanding of the eastern religions. I'm finding it very difficult to read more than a few pages at once because it's so much information conveyed so quickly. This book is awesome! If you are a visual learner This book is awesome! If you are a visual learner, this book is for you! Author is too present I only read half of this - the author is way too full of himself. Talk about ego. I've been reading a lot about Buddhism for the last several years and am put off by this kind of approach. It's a fine line between the personal experience of the author being helpful to others and being intrusive. Five Stars Great read. To the point. Easy to understand. Recommend to anyone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Buddha-and-the-Quantum-Audiobook/B0058JC9HU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enlightening and engaging If you could sum up The Buddha and the Quantum in three words, what would they be? An enlightening and engaging perspective on consciousness and physics. Any additional comments? Few books deal well with physics and consciousness. The more spiritually oriented books tend to get the science wrong. The more scientifically oriented books can be hard for a non-scientist to follow. This book didn't have those issues. Very well done and I learned quite a bit. Science and Religion, Brought Together Author Samuel Avery says up front that he is neither a Buddhist nor a physicist. Turns out, neither am I, so I take this book as being transmitted from one enthusiast to another. At the same time, it would seem the author knows his stuff. I would love to hear feedback from a Buddhist quantum physicist on this. Due to the nature of quantum physics and the explanations required for the author to get his point across, I would recommend active (mindful) listening to this audiobook. While the information presented is done so as simplistically as possible, trying to listen to this title while doing other things will only result in confusion and missed explanations. It requires your whole attention. In that manner, you have to operate like a Buddhist to get the information within. Nice touch. While listening mindfully, I did find the author's explanations to be confusing, but I can see where some might just as easily need to rewind some things and hear them a second time to ensure you really did hear something the way you thought you did. It's just the nature of the beast in this case. All in all, I found this book interesting in the extreme, and I recommend it to the curious who like to ponder the higher questions of the cosmos. The author narrates the audio himself, and his manner comes across cool and conversational, as though speaking to a peer. Connects quantum theory to subjective experience As a quantum physicist and a meditator I found Avery's speculations delightful and eye-opening. His point, as I see it, is to draw the connection between our subjective experiences and the fundamental construction of reality as envisioned by many modern quantum physicists, such as Vlatko Vedral, Seth Lloyd, and others. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Accidental-Buddhist-Audiobook/B002V9YZVI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ineresting and worthwhile Moore goes to several different kinds of Buddhist retreats and monasteries and reports his experiences. He is skeptical but also really wanting to find meaning. The narrator is good, seems to fit the voice you'd expect of the possibly irritating personality of the author. I found the book worthwhile on several levels. Thought provoking due to the philosophy. But also very humorous. And fun because of the great variety of events he attends. After paying for attendance and travel to all kinds of places, he stumbles on a group in his hometown. If this book sounds interesting to you, pick it and you won't find it to be a disappointment. I enjoyed it. If it sounds dumb, don't pick. I suspect many would not like this selection, might react "what rot". A really good read if contemplating Buddhism What did you love best about The Accidental Buddhist? I'm someone who's been exploring religion and Buddhism for a while, trying to understand my own spirituality. I enjoyed this read as I related to the author in a number of ways. It's a lighthearted easy short read (listen) and I can see myself listen to it again a few times over. Good introduction Journal of a man who finds Buddhism. Good book if you want a little information to get started on a long journey. It is short, interesting, and a quick listen. I really enjoyed this book As a novice to Buddhist ideas I found this book to be very accessible and enjoyable. Jack Hawkins seemed to have just the right pitch and feel for the material. Great Concepts A good read for those interested in buddhism and for those who are just looking for a fresh perspective on life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Hatha-Yoga-Russian-Edition-Audiobook/B01N3M7VZ0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Worldview Apologetics Subtitle: A Christian Worldview Apologetic Engagement with Advaita Vedanta Hinduism Author: Pradeep Tilak Narrator: Locust & Honey Publications Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-15 Publisher: Pradeep Tilak Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This book introduces Christian worldview apologetics. It applies worldview principles to engage Advaita Vedanta Hinduism with the biblical responses of Christianity. The Christian worldview focus is as much theological as philosophical. Chapter one introduces the biblical mandate for apologetics, reviewing the historical and contemporary apologetic scene. It highlights diverse methodological principles in worldview apologetics, laying the groundwork for the method employed. Chapter two introduces Vedanta Hinduism through the teachings of Sankara, Ramanuja, and Madhva. This is a primer for those unfamiliar with Advaita. Chapter three examines Christian rapprochement and antithesis with Vedanta Hinduism. The apologist applies worldview apologetics in understanding the access points and biblical dividing lines when these two worldviews confront one another. Chapter four commences the apologetic engagement with proof. The Advaitin presents the monistic worldview and the ultimate reality, otherwise known as Brahman. The foundational Christian worldview is represented with the scriptures, God, man, and his salvation in Jesus Christ. Chapter five addresses the offense part of apologetics. The adherents of each worldview contrast their viewpoints against the viewpoint of the other system. Vedanta's monism, impersonal reality, inclusivity, and rationality are contrasted with Christianity's historic self-revelation of God to man. Chapter six handles apologetic defense through the lens of experience, epistemology, and correspondence with reality. The Hindu worldview has transcending experience, supra-rational epistemology, and deep coherence. The Christian admits a transitory universe, which has no existence as a contingent creation, apart from God. Chapter seven reviews worldview apologetic practice under metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. These deal with the ontology of reality in its manifestations and our understanding of the truth.... biacuaduc@gmail.com (Pradeep Tilak) Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:41:16 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Worldview-Apologetics-Audiobook/B019Y9VNXU thebookvoice.com 10:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Worldview Apologetics Subtitle: A Christian Worldview Apologetic Engagement with Advaita Vedanta Hinduism Author: Pradeep Tilak Narrator: Locust & Honey Publications Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-15 Publisher: Pradeep Tilak Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: This book introduces Christian worldview apologetics. It applies worldview principles to engage Advaita Vedanta Hinduism with the biblical responses of Christianity. The Christian worldview focus is as much theological as philosophical. Chapter one introduces the biblical mandate for apologetics, reviewing the historical and contemporary apologetic scene. It highlights diverse methodological principles in worldview apologetics, laying the groundwork for the method employed. Chapter two introduces Vedanta Hinduism through the teachings of Sankara, Ramanuja, and Madhva. This is a primer for those unfamiliar with Advaita. Chapter three examines Christian rapprochement and antithesis with Vedanta Hinduism. The apologist applies worldview apologetics in understanding the access points and biblical dividing lines when these two worldviews confront one another. Chapter four commences the apologetic engagement with proof. The Advaitin presents the monistic worldview and the ultimate reality, otherwise known as Brahman. The foundational Christian worldview is represented with the scriptures, God, man, and his salvation in Jesus Christ. Chapter five addresses the offense part of apologetics. The adherents of each worldview contrast their viewpoints against the viewpoint of the other system. Vedanta's monism, impersonal reality, inclusivity, and rationality are contrasted with Christianity's historic self-revelation of God to man. Chapter six handles apologetic defense through the lens of experience, epistemology, and correspondence with reality. The Hindu worldview has transcending experience, supra-rational epistemology, and deep coherence. The Christian admits a transitory universe, which has no existence as a contingent creation, apart from God. Chapter seven reviews worldview apologetic practice under metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. These deal with the ontology of reality in its manifestations and our understanding of the truth.... Members Reviews: Dialogue between Christianity and Hinduism. What did you love best about Worldview Apologetics? I liked that the author (who is from India) was immersed in Hindu culture and respectfully explains Hinduism and its strengths. He then outlines its weaknesses. He gives a Christian response to each perceived weakness followed by a Hindu defense. Finally, he ends with a Christian summary. This book helps one understand both Christianity and Hinduism better. Who was your favorite character and why? This is a non-fiction book, so there are no characters per se. This book does review three Hindu philosophers and give a summary of their ideas. The three philosophers are Sankura, Ramanuja, and Madhva. Have you listened to any of Locust & Honey Publicationss other performances before? How does this one compare? No, this is the first book by L & H that I have listened to. If you could give Worldview Apologetics a new subtitle, what would it be? Introduction to Hinduisms Major Philosophers and a Comparison of Their Ideas to the Ideas of Christianity. Any additional comments? In a scholarly work of this sort, it is nice to have the footnotes. In this book the footnotes are read in the text very quickly. I think this is helpful, although you have to get used to it at first. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Buddha-A-Very-Short-Introduction-Audiobook/B00GLU6YGC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Way of the Tao, Living an Authentic Life Author: Dennis Waller Narrator: Matthew Deane Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-13 Publisher: Dennis Waller Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The Tao is an ancient philosophy of living in the natural world and The Way of the Tao, Living an Authentic Life is a treatise and interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. It shows you how to get back to being your authentic self, your spiritual self. The Tao has the power to help you reclaim your life from the ego-based identity that imprisons you. You can discover your authentic identity by learning to live in divine consciousness. In discovering these truths, we become the creators of the universe instead of the passive observers we have been - we learn how to live life in the now. By learning to detach from our ego we are able to come into direct contact with our true intent and motives. When we do, we begin to see ourselves as we truly are and we are able to reconnect with the divine source. What is the way of the Tao? It is the way things are in the natural progression of life and death, the way of intelligent design as shown in nature. It is a way without dogmas, formalities or religion. To live in the Tao is to live in peace and harmony, giving you the knowledge of being one with the higher realm of divine consciousness. It is to have the awareness of being in this world: You are one and 10,000 things at the same moment. You are the song that the bird sings, the breeze blowing through the trees, the fish swimming in a brook, the warmth of the sun shining from above, the coolness of the earth below your feet, for you are life and death, all at once and not at all. There is no separation in the divine oneness. The Tao offers the power to liberate you from the ego-imposed prison of the dualistic world. Living in the Tao can bring a deep inner peace. The wisdom of the Tao is practical, a way of living with the clarity and knowledge of universal truth. When you are living in the Tao, you will see resistance and opposition fade away. Conflict and stress become distant memories. The issues of life become irrelevant or will simply disappear as you start living with your authentic self. For it is the Tao that teaches you how to transcend the insurmountable obstacles which the ego has created. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dennis Waller) Tue, 02 Jul 2013 22:54:56 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/The-Way-of-the-Tao-Living-an-Authentic-Life-Audiobook/B00DP3IRZ4 thebookvoice.com 03:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If you are someone interested in Taoism or just curious this book would be good for you. I really appreciate Mr. Waller's interpretation and insight. I have read this book several times and will continue to read it in the future. Five Stars Another great book on the way of nature and how to live a more natural life. WDL The blend of actual passages from the Tao Te Ching ... The blend of actual passages from the Tao Te Ching, as Lao Tzu wrote them, and Waller's interpretations of them, make this a "must read" for anyone seeking greater clarity and direction. Highly recommend. Well written Highly recommend. Well written, well organized. The content and analogies are on point and clear and concise. Powerful & simple , the Tao itself. Three Stars Good read.

Title: Of Life and Death Subtitle: Dasui's Fire Destroys the Universe Author: Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei Narrator: Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei Format: Original Recording Length: 53 mins Language: English Release date: 05-19-06 Publisher: Dharma Communications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: What happens when we die? This is one of life's most puzzling questions, but is our preoccupation with death any different from our preoccupation with what's for dinner or our dentist appointment next week? It's a preoccupation with something other than where life is happening. If we want to know how to live, we have to study life; and if we want to know how to die, we have to study life as well, because the best way to prepare for death is to cultivate awareness of this moment. When we learn to slow down, we start to experience what is actually in front of us. This moment is the most profound thing we can see, and this deep seeing will change our relationship to both life and death. Zen Buddhism emphasizes zazen, or seated meditation, as the means to study the self and understand who we truly are. Dharma talks are an essential aspect of Zen training and take place in the context of zazen. Said to be "dark to the mind and radiant to the heart", a dharma talk is one of the ways in which a teacher points directly to the heart of the teachings of the Buddha. In our meditation practice, it is easy to get lost in self-doubt, fantasy, numbness, and emotional agitation. Dharma talks help to ground our practice, providing inspiration and an essential recognition of exactly where we find ourselves, so that we can learn to face difficulties and obstacles with a free and flexible mind. This talk was given at Zen Mountain Monastery or the Zen Center of New York City of the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism, founded in 1980 by the late American Zen Master John Daido Loori, Roshi (1931-2009). biacuaduc@gmail.com (Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei) Fri, 19 May 2006 08:39:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Of-Life-and-Death-Audiobook/B002V0KF2U thebookvoice.com 00:53:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Un poco mas que regular Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? La escencia es buena pero la introducción es muy larga ( de 45 a 60 minutos) y en cierta medida muy reiterativa y poco sustantiva. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Lo menos interesante es la introducción Which character as performed by George Bass was your favorite? El cuento que habla de ser como los muertos pero en vida la encuentro muy nutritivo If this book were a movie would you go see it? No Any additional comments? Definitivamente reducir la introducción y aumentar la cantidad de contenido substantivo Good stories but... The tibetan stories are excellent but the comentator doesn't leave room to draw the reader's own conclusions it offers a pont of view even before the story is finished, is very annoying, I stopped listening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Feeling-Wisdom-Audiobook/B00Y24R51W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Feeling Wisdom Subtitle: Working with Emotions Using Buddhist Teachings and Western Psychology Author: Robert Preece Narrator: Paul Ansdell Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 05-27-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: The realm of emotion is one of those areas where Buddhism and Western psychology are often thought to be at odds: Are emotions to be valued, examined, worked with as signs leading us to deeper self-knowledge? Or are they something to be ignored and avoided as soon as we recognize them? Rob Preece feels that neither of those extremes is correct. He charts a path through the emotions as they relate to Buddhist practice, showing that though emotions are indeed "skandhas" (elements that make up the illusory self) according to the Buddhist teaching, there is a good deal to be learned from these skandhas, and paying attention to their content contributes not only to psychological health but to deep insight into the nature of reality.

Or are they something to be ignored and avoided as soon as we recognize them? Rob Preece feels that neither of those extremes is correct.

Members Reviews: Integrating Ancient Buddhism into Modern Psychology As Buddhism develops in the west, many believe wider acceptance will be through a connection with modern western psychology. This book makes and elaborates on the case for that connection. The author, Rob Preece is a western psychotherapist who also practices Buddhism. He looks at feelings through the eyes of Jung and Freud and through Tibetan Buddhist. Judging from his writing, his practice remains primarily centered in western practices, but he supplements it with Buddhist teachings and meditations such as the mindfulness of breathing, Mahamudra, and Tonglen. This book illustrates the connection by relating many of the authorâs personal experiences as a mental health care provider. Many of the principles of Buddhism are smoothly integrated into this skillfully written book. For those seeking a basic foundation in the use of Buddhism with western psychology this book will prove a very readable introduction and jumping off point. For the same readers it will likely prove itself a gateway to further studies. Wonderful, it's a perfect guide for Buddhism in a Psychological setting. Such a fantastic writing. I was looking for just this when I went searching for anything on the subject matter. An intelligent practiced individual writing about two aspects that support one another, Buddhism and Psychology. I'm a patient of a wonderful woman who is met her calling. She's intelligent, well educated and fantastic at her job. She often refers to Buddhist practices and approaches in our sessions, per my requests of course. While that's been enormously beneficial, I still had a hard time with a very specific aspect of this: Are emotions actually important? Buddhism doesn't approach it that way, but in a way that seems rather dismissive. This Dr. does a fantastic job joining these two practices in a way that comforts the soul. I immeadiately felt peace in his words. The way he writes can be felt and it's very comforting. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a patient and also instills Buddhism in their life. It's not an all or none approach or dismissive. It's practical, sound and incredibly helpful. And if you were wondering, Yes, your emotions are important, it's how we approach them that makes the difference. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Hinduism-Audiobook/B01MRRVZ2B Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Hinduism is the oldest and the third largest religion by population. There are more than a billion Hindus in India, Nepal, Indonesia (Bali), Mauritius, Canada, New Zealand, Kenya, and elsewhere in the world who practice the faith. However, many scholars and practitioners believe that Hinduism is not a religion at all - it is a way of life, as Hinduism explains the purpose of human life, what you should and shouldn't do, how you should behave with others, and how you should carry out your duties and responsibilities.

Hinduism developed from the faiths and traditions of the earliest people who practiced it, and it is still evolving. Hinduism believes that god is within us, and everywhere in the universe. This book contains detailed information on the Hindu way of life. You will learn about Dharma and how to lead the life in a dharmic way so that you can achieve self-awareness, realize the true potential of your atman or soul, find god, and become free from the cycle of life and death.

I will show you how faith, devotion, dharma, and artistic expression are a way of life. You will learn about the teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Bhagavad-Gita.

Members Reviews: One of the best books ever written about Hinduism One of the best books ever written about Hinduism. The core of the religion is obscured by numerous stories and metaphors which were invented to convey the exact core values. In the obvious turn of events through the flow of time, the followers of the religion ended up caring only about this metaphoric crap and ignored all abstract values. The author peels the outer layers of religious onion and brings out the beautiful core, which is a coherent and rational entity which many may not have seen. Somewhere in the book, the author makes an appeal to the readers to do that and to realize the real religion. A must read for every Hindu and for those who want to know about this diverse religion. Great book! âïâï I've always taken interest on Hinduism and what really is it about. I only know a few things about it and this book gave me the information I'm looking for, you'll learn what really Hinduism is. You'll also learn how peaceful this way of living is! Great book! âïâï Great primer on Hinduism. This is a wonderful primer on Hinduism. I highly recommend. Great, but short. It's a good book. It's easy to read and gives you exactly what it says. The only critique I have is that it's very short and a little too general. (Not super detailed descriptions/explanations) Great book to learn about Hinduism This was a great book about Hinduism. It included its different aspects that set it apart from other religions. This book was also great because it presented Hinduism as a way of life and not just a religion. The topics and teachings in this books were also very enlightening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Religion-Spirituality/Kundalini-Awakening-Audiobook/B078568M9W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/608/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Kundalini Awakening Subtitle: A Beginners Guide to Kundalini Awakening Author: Erik Smith Narrator: Michael Goldsmith Format: Unabridged Length: 40 mins Language: English Release date: 12-04-17 Publisher: Erik Smith Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Buddhism & Eastern Religions Publisher's Summary: All human beings have Kundalini inside their bodies - some have awakened this energy, while many don't even know that it exists. The people who know about this are using more of their innate potential and are transforming themselves, others, and the world for the better. It's because this energy is none other than the force of evolution that drives the entirety of creation, and nature has placed it upon the base of our spines. Ancient people have known about the Kundalini, and they guarded the knowledge intensely to prevent people from abusing its power. For thousands of years, knowledge of how to activate it is passed only from guru to carefully selected student and never to anyone else. This has changed during recent times, when Kundalini masters finally disseminated the information to outsiders. This outpouring of Kundalini knowledge is said to be a response to the needs of modern times. As science and technology developed, materialism grew in strength, and spirituality was shelved as a relic of the ignorant past. People became distracted by their inventions and separated themselves from nature and their very own souls. Thus, perhaps it is the spirit itself that enticed humans' interest in the spiritual - something that old religions have attempted to do but did not achieve completely. Kundalini awakening is just one of the ways in which one can return to the divine. Doing so does not only bring great joy; it also enables him or her to access more of the energy that runs throughout creation and see more of reality as it really is.

Thurman in the middle of him telling the story of Asanga, making it seem as if Asanga never achieves the vision of Maitreya, a huge mistake! please include the ending audio because to a new comer this ending is utterly misleading.
