Robert Thurman's Basic Buddhism is a collective series of five lectures he has given on Buddhism. In these lectures, Thurman patiently takes apart each jewel of Buddhism: The Buddha as the teacher of enlightenment, the Dharma as the teaching, or enlightenment itself, and the Sangha as the historical and current community of learners seeking to become Buddhas.

Topics included:

  • Who Was Buddha?
  • Vadrayana
  • Buddhism and The Sangha
  • Mahyana
  • Dharma of Buddha

I finished this in less than a week. he does repeat in lectures but I was enthralled.

Lecture series, my first intro

Any additional comments?

For a lecture, the audio quality is good. Thurman has a clear speaking voice (although some may find it grating, but I like it). He uses amusing and interesting comparisons as well.

The title "Basic Buddhism), however, is a bit misleading. This is at a much higher level than basic. Also, it focuses more on the spiritual aspects of Buddhism than the philosophical ideas, which could be good or bad depending on what you want to learn.

Enlightening and entertaining

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I highly recommend these lectures! Robert Thurman maps out Buddhism for the westerner.

What does Robert Thurman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Robert Thurman is thoroughly entertaining.

Great lectures!

Even if you know something of Buddhism this book is a rich and often highly original reexamination of what you think you know. I highly endorse it.

Outstanding, warmly recommended

Mr. Thurman can get a bit enthusiastic and sometimes makes it hard to understand. Otherwise, excellent.

Thank you, very informative!

The author has a gift for making complex concepts more accessible. The performance was a perfect blend of entertaining and educational. The title “Basic Buddhism” may give the impression that this contains a simplistic overview of Buddhism, but in fact, I found it to be be quite advanced, yet explained in a manner that many people should find approachable. There is very much wisdom here and Dr. Thurman’s speaking style is casual and warm even when describing complex philosophical notions, and keeps what could be a very academic undertaking quite light and dynamic by skillful use of humor and interesting examples and story telling. This was absolutely one of the most significant lectures I have heard about Buddhism and has given me an entirely new appreciation for it’s richness and the Buddha’s truly revolutionary message of liberation, which is just as relevant today as it ever has been.

If you want a basic overview of Buddhism I would recommend Jack Kornfield's a Beginners Guide to Buddhism, or What the Buddha Taught by Walpola Ruhula. To be fair, Thurman is coming from a Tibetan perspective, and not the Therevada like the other authors I mentioned, but nonetheless he goes on rabbit trails and makes a rather complicated overview of "basic Buddhism."

He barely touches the four noble truths or the eight fold path- which really is basic Buddhism. Frankly, he can be a bit crass and seems to paint other religions with a broad disparaging  brush. For instance, he calls other religious prayers and chants mumbo jumbo while extoling the efficacious merit of Buddhist mantras.

However,  he is knowledgeable and if you have a fairly good understanding of ...basic Buddhism then you might enjoy this overview.

not exactly basic
