About this listen
No understanding of human life, individual or collective, could be complete without factoring in the role and contribution of these history-shaping teachers. Now, this 36-lecture series takes you deep into the life stories and legacies of these four iconic figures, revealing the core teachings, and thoughts of each, and shedding light on the historical processes that underlie their phenomenal, enduring impact.
Speaking from multilevel personal experience with these teachings, Professor Muesse leads you in an inquiry with a dynamic double thrust.
First, you'll get the chance to reflect in depth on the most essential values of spirituality and the art of living, seen from four archetypal perspectives. Second, you'll delve into the historical contexts and individual lives of the four sages, and how the religious and philosophical traditions we associate with them came into being. The lectures serve as a unique window on the origins of these traditions, through their focus on the teachings, actions, and historical roles of the sages who inspired them. In uncovering the original wisdom and practices of each sage, you'll grapple with key questions. How did each man understand the nature of the universe? How did each envision the human self? What did they each see as the path to true self-realization? In words reflecting profound and compassionate insight, these lectures bring the teachings vividly alive as they speak to their essential purpose and as they shed light on the choices we all face, moment by moment, in living deliberately and savoring life to the fullest.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Four great sages... and a good teacher
I have learned a tremendous amount about the four Great Teachers, which will aid me in my studies but also in my life. Professor Muesse has been a firm and gentle guide, possessing humour and mindfulness . Excellent series.

Fascinating
If you could sum up Confucius, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad in three words, what would they be?
I am really glad I bought this. I can not put it down so to speak. I am almost at the end but just thought I would highly recommend this book to anyone whose interests fall in these areas.

Love Of Religion
Mark W. Muesse did an amazing job of going over the 4 sages as mentioned in the title, and a simple, great and overall description of each of the respective religions attributed to them.
While he remains unbiased, you can tell he loves theme of religion, and tries to bring out the best of it, as well as focusing on the good and logical effects of it.
- Which is exactly what i wanted from this, we all know the negative consequences these figures and religion can lead to, so it was nice just listening to a positive/neutral outlook on these religions, and its front figures.
These lectures definently nutured my curiosity, and i now feel ready to dive deeper into each of these religions, and learn more about them.
