About this listen

It can be hard for those of us living in the 21st century to see how 14th-century Buddhist teachings still apply. When you’re trying to figure out which cell phone plan to buy or brooding about something someone wrote about you on Facebook, lines like "While the enemy of your own anger is unsubdued, though you conquer external foes, they will only increase" can seem a little obscure. Thubten Chodron’s illuminating explication of Togmay Zangpo’s revered text, The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas, doesn’t just explain its profound meaning; in dozens of passages she lets her students and colleagues share first-person stories of the ways that its teachings have changed their lives. Some bear witness to dramatic transformations - making friends with an enemy prisoner-of-war, finding peace after the murder of a loved one - while others tell of smaller lessons, like waiting for something to happen or coping with a minor injury.

An excellent book for those on a spiritual path

I have listened/read many books on this subject and other similar ones. This is an excellent book describing buddhism. There are many good modern scenarios which many of us will relate to.

Content fine, narration robotic

This could have been great, and Owill be buying the print version. However the audio version is terrible. If you've ever used the "read aloud" feature on a Word document, you'll find a similar lack of emotion in this narrator.

Karma

Why is something bad happening to me? It’s your Karma. In the past you did the same to someone else, so now it’s happening to you.

I do not hold this belief so this book was not helpful in the end.
