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

In the Upanishads, illumined sages share flashes of insight, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself. In extraordinary visions, they experience directly a transcendent Reality which is the essence, or Self, of each created being. They teach that each of us, each Self, is eternal, deathless, one with the power that created the universe.

Treasured by Buddhists of all traditions, The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara) is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment and to generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. This text has been studied, practiced, and expounded upon in an unbroken tradition for centuries, first in India, and later in Tibet. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the Bodhisattvas - those who renounce the peace of individual enlightenment and vow to work for the liberation of all beings.

In this companion to his best-selling translation of the Bhagavad Gita, Easwaran explores the essential themes of this much-loved Indian scripture. Placing the Gita in a modern context, Easwaran shows how this classic text sheds light on the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, and the meaning of yoga. The key message of the Gita is how to resolve our conflicts and live in harmony with the deep unity of life, through the principles of yoga and the practice of meditation.

Said to be the world's longest poem, Mahabharata was originally composed in 100,000 Sanskrit verses by the ancient Indian sage Vyasa. Revered as a sacred text within Hinduism, it contains the great spiritual teaching Bhagavad-gita. Krishna Dharma has condensed the epic into a fast paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original. A powerful and moving tale, it recounts the history of the five heroic Pandava brothers, sons of the Emperor Pandu.

This book is the map to the road of enlightenment
I have read this book, many times, in many periods of my life, where I felt the need to find my Centre, ground myself, and be reminded of the essence of life. This book is a great starting point for anyone who is interested in Buddhism, it can be opened at any chapterto be reminded of the simple things in life

Great Performance
I really appreciated the exposition on Buddhism and Buddha’s life at the beginning of the book, and the narrator did a great job speaking as if the words were his own.

the intro portion is impeccable and provides great life advice and philosophy.
the verses I found childishly naive, simple and shallow.

Love 💗 of a Buddhist ☸️ Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 ❣️
I truly have been a Sri Lankan Buddhist for over 40 years❣️ Sri Lanka 🇱🇰is a battle for thousands of years of battle between Sinhala Buddhists and Tamil Hindus…
I’ve truly being born in UK 🇬🇧 and immigrated to Canada 🇨🇦 I have always cried 😔 about Sri Lanka’s brutal civil war over 30 years. In many way we are saddened by the scars and unjust in not causing harm to both sides of inhuman war.
I am blessed 😇 by reading this version of Buddhism ☸️ is making me reading again my third time and the knowledge learns me thousands of years of wisdom and I understand more of KARMA and I join to all of us to attain Nibbana and become all Meitriya.
I am blessed 😇 to live the way of Yoga and meditation and my actions will assist me and lead me to a better way to live for all Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and end these politicians and follow the Buddhist history of our great Theravada understanding in Pali and May we all live in Love 🥰 and Compassionately for both all members of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❣️
To save our ills and we must revolt this lack of hatred and sadnesses and unite in the world 🌍 of all Brothers and Sisters and May we all start this 2023 New Year form a New Jerusalem in Canada 🇨🇦 where all races, all creeds, all counties and religions unite for goodnesses for all❣️
