About this listen

With poetry and clarity, Thich Nhat Hanh imparts comforting wisdom about the nature of suffering and its role in creating compassion, love, and joy–all qualities of enlightenment.

“Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal, inner peace, and peace on earth.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama

In The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching, now revised with added material and new insights, Nhat Hanh introduces us to the core teachings of Buddhism and shows us that the Buddha’s teachings are accessible and applicable to our daily lives.

Covering such significant teachings as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Three Doors of Liberation, the Three Dharma Seals, and the Seven Factors of Awakening, The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching is a radiant beacon on Buddhist thought for the initiated and uninitiated alike.

Extraordinary inclusive Review of the key Buddhist teachings

Thich Nhat Hahn has such a clear way of translating the Buddhist teachings in such a clear and understandable way but still so full of all the wisdom and deep intellectual teachings of the Buddha. This is by far the best inclusive book of the Buddhist teachings I have ever read. I have been practicing and reading Buddhism for 34 years.

wisdom!

It was lovely to listen to the audible version of this book that I originally read in hard copy. It's worth listening more than once and I often do as I walk. It's a nice clear framework of Buddhist wisdom teachings. Ultimately it's the practice that matters... having the framework is incredibly useful too though

High level stuff

Definitely not the beginners’ edition but if you want the Bible of Budism, I’d say this is pretty close.
