2.0 out of 5 stars
Almost too short.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to Buddhism (Audio CD)
I bought this CD in hopes of listening to it several times; picking up new things here and there, but really, it is just as the title says "beginner's guide." Guess I was expecting a little bit more... I listened to it twice, then moved on. If you are totally 100% new to Buddhism, then this in an okay introduction; though perhaps you money would be better spent on The Complete Idiot's Guide to Zen Living or Buddhism for Dummies.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Short, yes .... BUT .....,

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to Buddhism: A Short Course on This Powerful Eastern Philosophy (Audible Audio Edition)
Another reviewer panned this as too short and overly simplistic. I would give it at least 4 stars. It IS short: about one hour, which makes the full price a little questionable. And it IS for beginners who might know little or nothing about Buddhism. This stuff said, it provides an insightful, condensed, and pleasant introduction to Buddhism, a brief look at its history, a summary of its central teachings, and a survey of its different forms, etc. If you are into yoga, have tried meditation, are curious about mindfulness, or just want to learn about the principals of Buddhism in a non-preachy way, this might be a good choice. I enjoyed it.
