Summary
Dhammapada means "the path of dharma", the path of harmony and righteousness that anyone can follow to reach the highest good. This classic Buddhist scripture is a collection of vivid, practical verses gathered from direct disciples who wanted to preserve what they had heard from the Buddha himself. Easwaran's translation of this classic Buddhist text is the best-selling translation in the US. In the comprehensive introduction, he brings the story of the young Prince Siddhartha and his heroic spiritual quest vividly to life. His overview of the Buddha's teachings is reliable, penetrating, and accessible. The Buddha rejected superstition on the one hand and philosophical speculation on the other. He taught the path to the end of suffering and showed how we can achieve lasting joy. In The Dhammapada he spells out our choices with a refreshing realism and frankness.
This audiobook is a complete narration of Eknath Easwaran's introduction and translation, but omits the short chapter introductions by other writers.

Great audio book.
Another wisdom book from Eknath who provides an insightful summary into the Buddhas teachings. The narrators voice is perfect for the book. Highly recommended and will listen to it again and again for its pearls of wisdom.

Very well read
Intensely read; convincing, even for someone who never heard of Buddhism. The narrator's comments and paraphrasing make it easier to absorb, I didn't mind them. However, honestly I don't know if this is the actual Dhammapada, perhaps someone else's review can help here. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend it.

Beginner Friendly
Excellent book and delivery. I was very pleased to find this author and ordered three more books based on this one. Not a true beginner to Buddhism, I prefer Vedanta teachings, nevertheless, Easwaran makes this a happy digest.
