Summary
This landmark collection is the definitive introduction to the Buddha's teachings - in his own words. The American scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi, whose voluminous translations have won widespread acclaim, here presents selected discourses of the Buddha from the Pali Canon, the earliest record of what the Buddha taught. Divided into 10 thematic chapters, In the Buddha's Words reveals the full scope of the Buddha's discourses, from family life and marriage to renunciation and the path of insight. A concise, informative introduction precedes each chapter, guiding the listener toward a deeper understanding of the texts that follow.
In the Buddha's Words allows even listeners unacquainted with Buddhism to grasp the significance of the Buddha's contributions to our world heritage. Taken as a whole, these texts bear eloquent testimony to the breadth and intelligence of the Buddha's teachings, and point the way to an ancient, yet ever-vital path. Students and seekers alike will find this systematic presentation indispensable.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Great!
A good selection of early buddhist texts beautifully read. Abridgements were also useful in keeping it brief.

Disappointed
First of all, I was expecting an anthology if discourses from the pali canon but there was more commentary from the author on the suttas than the suttas themselves. Also the reader should've familiarized himself with the pronunciation of Pali rather than make things up as he went.

The Buddha's words
Loved this book and all the contents, the inner and outer peace that could be possible if everyone in the world came together with similar thoughts and practices, wow what a world that would be.

Read by a robot
I'm not convinced they employed a human to read this. I've heard robots that sounded more engaging.
