5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a new in this philosophy, it's great for you!, October 5, 2001

This review is from: The Middle Way: The Story of Buddhism (Religion) (Audio CD)

I never knew what's Buddhism is about. Well, may be common knowing: re-incarnation, white clothes and Buddha was a king. My friend gave it to me. I listened it in my car for 3 month, from work to home, every day. Especially the second CD - Dharma, to me is a teaching. This set simply changed my life. I recommend it for anyone who is in any stage of life. Stop, realize and stop the drama of your life. Today I've read many other books, scripts and famous Buddhist works, but this will be always favorite.

Three British actors bring Buddhism's "Three jewels" to life in and engaging and entertaining manner. About 4 1/2 hours long. Includes history and teachings. If you are looking for on audio book to give you a good general knowledge of Buddhism, this is it. It may even spur you on to other teachings!

Being largely ignorant of the religion, I always found Buddhism to be little more than an odd philosophy masked as psuedo-religion. I bought the CD so that I could get a quick rundown of the the religion for my Easter Religion class (Religion 102). What I ended up doing after listening the the CD a few times was absorbing more literature on buddhism, and I have now converted. The CD was compelling--and it is so without sounding or being a overzealous propaganda recruiting tool. Loved it.
