Edith Hamilton shows us Rome through the eyes of the Romans. Plautus and Terence, Cicero and Caesar, Catullus, Horace, Virgil, and Augustus come to life in their ambitions, their work, their loves and hates. In them we see reflected a picture of Roman life very different from that fixed in our minds through schoolroom days, and far livelier.

The real story is the psychoanalytic disposition of the author from reading this book, rather than any comprehension of the “vie de rum.”

This book offers a complete translation of the Majjhima Nikāya, or Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, one of the major collections of texts in the Pāli Canon, the authorised scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. This collection - among the oldest records of the historical Buddha's original teachings - consists of 152 suttas or discourses of middle length, distinguished as such from the longer and shorter suttas of the other collections.

issues w/translation but appreciative
Revisado: 05-31-20
i want audible to post other translations of the majjhima nikayas... there are issues with the translation but overall appreciative of the material available.
the procedure for reading this book is the classic method- multiple, understanding each sutta indvidually as well as part of the larger framework. i guess, that i will need at least 5-6 listenings to develop a nuanced understanding of the subjet

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 23
The course begins by looking at the origins of Christian monasticism during the third century CE, when thousands of men and women renounced the world and withdrew to the deserts of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine to seek God in a life of solitude and prayer. What inspired them to do this? What were they trying to achieve? In seeking answers to these questions, we will examine the lives and sayings of the so-called "desert fathers", with a particular emphasis on the theological writings of Evagrius of Pontus (c. 345-399).

Highly competent author, he is a true scholar. I did not realize it but the speaker=author, but that makes sense now because the performance was lively and came out as authentic 🤪

This lecture series with Sarah Shaw looks at several texts in the Pali Canon from the Dīgha Nikāya, the “collection of long discourses 17. Sarah explores the Buddha’s teachings on subjects, including meditation, ethics, meditative states, and conditionality. This series is an excellent foundation for understanding the underpinnings of all Buddhist philosophy.

An “interesting”take from a “British” perspective
Revisado: 02-19-20
This is a classic “western” understanding of Buddhist mythology and cosmology.. I enjoyed it, but did not really learn anything about Buddhism except a modern secular perspective that tends to “psychologize” and therefore makes the Buddhist vocab more understandable to people with western education...

It is widely accepted that the Sutta Nipata contains 'the earliest recorded version' of the Buddha's teaching. It is an anthology of poetry and prose - 70 titled suttas of varied instruction and temperament arranged in five chapters.

This remarkable collection of 73 verses contained in the 'Khuddaka Nikaya' section of the Pali Canon dates from the BC 6th century. It is said to be the earliest voices of women in recorded history. The verses, some brief, some more extended, are the utterances of the bhikkhunis, the nuns at the time of the Buddha, concerning their life and their ‘awakening 17.

Loved it, one of the best delights. A great combination of story, poetry, and teaching! Buddhist teaching delivered via presumably historical characters.

Terrible narrator- ruined the whole experience
Revisado: 09-14-18
Did not even finish the book. The narrator is terrible. The presentation is not very good so the whole experience is not very good. The story as far as it got, was good, but disappointed in this presentation.

Some sources say that the Buddha was born on or around April 8, 563 B.C. How many years have you been around without discovering his wisdom? According to tradition, the words of The Dhammapada come directly from the mouth of Buddha. This translation in particular is among the most poetic and spiritually insightful.

Listen to it once a week, @ speed 1.5. It is a type of meditation for me, where every new listen leads to new understanding and recognition of what was previously missed.
