solid overview...

Good general overview of buddhism. Worth while if you want to dip your foot in the pool

Exactly what I was looking for.

This is a well versed & easy to understand listen. It is put into basic terminology.
I’m on my third round... I keep coming back.
It soothes me. Brings me back to center.

Very informative

I learned so much about Buddhism. I will seek out more audio books from this author.

Learned Much!

I was surprised by how well executed this short book is. The time listening is well spent! I have a much clearer understanding of the Buddha’s teachings!

Great for Beginners who want the basics of Buddhism

I was surprised that this book was so good sometimes when they try to give you a concise short explanation it turns out to be meaningless. This book would be good for people that both know about Buddhism already and those who don’t. It is complete and easy to understand. And it is short without a lot of big words. I believe I will listen to it several times again and take notes. I highly recommend this book. I was also able to listen to it at 1.6 speed.

Brilliantly explained

I hardly ever leave reviews but he did a fantastic job not only explaining but the performance was A+ ... I will not only be listening to the other books he recommended but I'll be referring back to this one time and time again

loved it!!!

gret narator and perfect content. i have been flirting with a budhism on and off and this is great first steping stone.

Well done and most helpful

Simple explanation of Buddhist principles and dharma. Loved this!! Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning the basic principles of Buddhism
