Poor translation

Revisado: 10-13-21

This translation different in many ways from the recent translations of early Buddhist discourses published by Bhikkhu Bodhi and Bhikkhu Analayo. Although the narrator was ok, I found this translation by Bhikkhu Sugato to be inaccurate and I won’t listen to it again.

A female protagonist adventure on the Moon

Revisado: 04-05-18

This story is told from the point of view of an immature adult female protagonist from a Saudi Arabian family background having improbable adventures on the Moon. The apparently multicultural society on the Moon was superficially represented by the book's characters. The world view of the protagonist seemed very American.
The technical details might appeal to engineers. The humour may suit teenagers. The narration was ok though the German English and other non-American English accents were poorly done charactures.
The audiobook may be an entertaining way to pass time.

Excellent book with excellent narration

Revisado: 02-15-18

Excellent book with excellent narration. Well researched, clear interpretation of difficult philosophy and insights into some of the most influential people of the twentieth century. I highly recommend this book.

Hindu spin Buddhadharma

Revisado: 01-11-17

I was impressed with Eknath's commentary and translation of the Bhagavad-Gita and anticipated a similar experience with this commentary and translation of the Dharmapada. I was disappointed. The long introduction is incorrect on many points and distorts the Buddha's teachings seemingly to make it conform with his understanding of Hinduism. For example, he stated that the third jhana (dhyana) is nirvana and failed to mention the higher forth jhana or the four formless bases that may be attained beyond the fourth jhana. Apart from the flawed introduction, the translation of the Dharmapada itself is ok. I suggest people choose an alternate book.

Outstanding - everyone must read

Revisado: 10-05-15

This book is full of fascinating and useful information. The narrator was read well and did not distract from the text.

I learned a lot about trauma and the many ways to learn from it and recover. This book is full of tools and gives me hope that we can find the political will to actually implement many of the therapies outlined in this wonderful book.

I will listen to this book at least one more time. I also have the Kindle version so I can annotate. I have recommended this book to friends and family. I might buy a paper back to give a friend who prefers real books.

Good book, bad reader

Revisado: 06-02-15

I gave up listening to the audio version after 10 minutes.The reader tried a poor hard boiled detective style. His patronising attempt at Chinese accent was woeful. I could not bear it. I read the paperback many years ago and will have to read this fascinating book again.
