A Handful of Leaves
Jeeves introduces sir to BuddhismBy Jeeves for Paul Milovanov, Esq
Length6h 56m
About this audiobook
Ten evenings of about forty minutes on what the Buddha actually claimed and what became of the claim. The man, told straight, legend and history kept apart; the diagnosis and the physician's format; the anatomy of a self and the argument that there is none to find; the wheel of dependent origination, karma, and rebirth; the treatment, with the practice taught once and honestly; the order and the word, from the last meal to the canon and Ashoka; then the teaching crossing its borders — the Great Vehicle and emptiness, China and Zen, Tibet and the roof of the world, and at last the West, the mindfulness industry, the evidence, and a verdict. Written to be heard on the run or with an infant in one's arms: one idea per evening, said twice.
