This audiobook offers a clear, concise account of the Eightfold Path prescribed to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying cause of suffering—ignorance.

Each step of the path is believed to cultivate wisdom through mental training, and includes an enlightened and peaceful middle path that avoids extremes. The theoretical as well as practical angles of each of the paths—right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration—are illustrated through examples from contemporary life.

The work's final chapter addresses the Buddhist path and its culmination in enlightenment.

Bhikkhu Bodhi is a treasure of a person. I am most grateful for his diligence in delivering the dhamma to the Western world. The narrator was wonderful as well.

A gift of knowledge worth having

This is the best book I have ever read. Such deep insight and valuable information on how one can find peace.

Excellent

Content good and presentation average. Exhaustively systematic as Buddhism is at its core! Next read Huxley's "The Perennial Philosophy".

Performance average. Maybe flat on purpose.

This is beautifully structured for an exploration of the Dharma.

Sects of Buddhism have a spectrum of views about the relative primacy of speech, thought, and action -- how are they different? What is innate meaning and by what karmic and metaphysical weight is Right Intention and Behavior judged? Likewise, many sects have a spectrum of views about whether the Universal Mind exists (some believe it does), and some might say the existence of Satori constitutes God-by-De-Facto, whether or not comparisons to western theology are apt. Likewise, the existence of the metaphysical ability to cultivate something like free will does not mean that free will, per se, exists. Buddhist doctrine does not suggest that there is an absolute answer to that question from the human perspective. In fact, Buddhist (and Daoist) philosophy both presuppose the axiom that the exercise of what seems like free will (usually in the form of restraint, compassion, and planning) is also the cultivation of benevolent determinism (which is Universal Truth, page 1 of the Dao De Jing, Huangdi Neijing, and the upshot of the Four Truths and Noble Path), which is a study relevant to all Spiritual Practices.

This audiobook is structured so that a mind which is exposed to a broad foundation of Dharma will have a great harvest. 5 Stars. I encourage all to listen to this, and several of Its sectarian and secular brothers and sisters as well.

Bhikku Bodhi's work is legendary. The translations are perfect and give clear direction of do's and don'ts within the 8 fold noble path. Thank you for your great work!
