This is just a little book, but it's probably my favorite of the Buddha's teachings. I don't know if it's Kornfield's translations (which are beautiful) or the selections, but this is the book that sits on my nightstand, or next to my computer, or on my desk to work. It is the source I go to when I need a prayer, or a lesson, or something to share with a friend. Really a beautiful little book.
There is no fire like greed. No crime like hatred.
No sorrow like separation.
No sickness like hunger of heart, And no joy like the joy of freedom. Health and contentment, and trust are your greatest possessions, and freedom your greatest joy. Look within, Be still. Free from fear and attachment, know the sweet joy of living in the way.

Excellent selection of verses and short passages from the suttas and other Buddhist scriptures, anecdotes etc. Reading this over several times, would give one a nice feeling for what Buddhism is essentially aimed at, and the means for approaching the goals laid out in the path. The audiobook is also nice to meditate on, or contemplate.
i gave this book to my beloved brother Trav. He is a Buddhist and he enjoyed it. the books talks a lot about patience and controlling your anger.
A collection of sayings, parables, teachings, exhortations attributed to the Buddha. Some cryptic, some inscrutable, but Kornfield has obviously mined the scriptural canon well; each page either shines outrightly, or hints of some pearl to be sought with deeper digging.
A few favorites:
As in the ocean's midmost depth no wave is born, but all is still, so let the practitioners be still, be motionless, and nowhere should they swell.

I thought this was a decent collection of the Buddha's teachings from such various sources as the Dhammapada, the Nikayas, the Sutras, as well as snippets from Tibetan and Zen texts. Due to its broad scope, I wouldn't recommend this to someone looking for in-depth instruction on the teachings, but as something to keep on the coffee table and flip through whenever one could use a reminder of the benefits attained from living a life mindfulness and contemplation.

I read this book fast, not because it was boring but because it's not the type of book you read, it's one that you keep on the shelf and when the moment is right you read it again, and refer to it later for inspiration in life.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the Buddha's teachings. This is a book everyone should have, regardless of beliefs.

Short book filled with a variety of famous passages from the various canon. Even I recognized some, with my slight reading in this area. It is full of nuggets and interesting perspectives.
The narrator was good, and it is an enjoyable listen. I will come back to it when I need a reminder, or to mine it for other learnings.

Great book for introduction to understanding Buddhism. Really enjoyed reading and re-reading several of its pages. It's not a book you just read but truly meditate, re-read and think over again. I do really recommend it.
A very readable interpretation of Buddhist teachings from various sects and teachers of Buddhism from all over the world. Simply splendid.
Jun 02, 2019Bryan Winchell rated it really liked it
Just a good little book filled with short, insightful anecdotes, koans, stories and lessons from various sources illuminating the core of the Buddha’s philosophy. I also recommend the audio version as it is narrated by the silky smooth voice of Edoardo Ballerini. A good book to just absorb in bits and pieces; no hurry required!
Not my first time through this book. Or my second. Couldn't say how many times I've read it, really. Sometimes some of it, sometimes all of it.
I've got a few books I use sort of like 'devotionals.' This is one of them. 'Zen Flesh, Zen Bones' is another. 'Dhammapada' is another. I get to the end of one, put it on the shelf, take the next down. Cycles around again eventually.

I was wanting to have a book with original texts, rather than an interpretation of buddhism from a practitioner, regardless of whether they are well-respected. Of course this book is still a compilation of specially selected texts, and so one could assume that some messages may be missing some context, but I think if you are interested in buddhism, then this edition is a very palatable introduction.
An excellent, small paperback, easy to take with you.
-Just as at the ocean's innermost depth no wave is born,
but all is still,
so let the practitioner's mind be still.
Be motionless, and nowhere should you swell.

I preferred Pillars of Consciousness by Osho for breaking down the teachings of Buddha, but this is a good, shorter introduction.

We each need our own copy. I read a little bit each morning and evening. I feel like the meditations were more meaningful this way.

Audible version, good narrator but texts are disconnected and in plain parable - better as reference book than an audiobook.
Complicated yet simple. Now that I have finished I can start right at the beginning again. Repeat.
Jack is the best translator of eastern thought for western minds. I treasure listening to his talks.

Teachings of the Buddha is a nice take-along book, whether in pocket or purse. It does have a good number of quotes from the Buddha, and the messages are soothing.
However, it's difficult for me to put these teachings side by side with the daily life of those in our current society. It's more easy for me to imagine these teachings to be for the monks, not the general public. In fact, in many of these quotes, the Buddha is speaking to those around him, not people of the world outside the monastery..more

This book was hugely influential for me when I was probably 14 years old, so it was interesting to revisit it. It's a great collection for such a brief volume. The quotations are bite-sized and really better suited to dipping into rather than reading straight through. Read as a whole, it gets a little repetitive and there's not a lot of technical depth to the Buddhist dogmas presented, but this is a great volume to get a flavor of Buddhism generally and to offer a focus for meditation or contemp..more
A inspirational collection of Buddhist sayings from ancient and modern writers. Not a book to be read cover-to-cover in one sitting, but a book for reflection after each passage. The shorter passages of the ancients struck me as the most meaningful and insightful; for example, 'Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work, with mastery.' (from the Dhammapada)--simple, yet layered with meaning. Some of the longer passages were pedantic, due often to repetitions of the same idea with minor variat..more
Just finished reading Teachings of the Buddha, which is a collection of translated buddist writings and teachings of there faith. There are parables and poems that touch on awakening the mind, understanding existence, how to master one's mind, emotions, thoughts etc. While those of different religious persuasions may find the writings sacrilege, they are actually a very simple and practical interpretation of life's questions and how one can become one with their mind and quell the uncertainities..more

I thought this was going to be something else. This is more like reading Aesop's Fables, except these are by/about the Buddha. But, without a basic understanding of Buddhist history, many of the tales didn't easily make sense to me. (I'm looking at you, Zen Master Dogen, and your 'Actualizing the Fundamental Point' section.)
Nevertheless, I enjoyed quite a few from the Dhammapada, which makes me want that in its entirety. Some of my favorites were 'Wakefulness', 'Harmlessness', 'Virtue', and 'Joy..more

How can you go wrong with beautiful, short, well written lessons and thoughts from the Buddha? You can't. I like to use it as a sort of divination when I am having a problem by just letting the book open randomly and reading that passage. There is always a truth or learning that can be applied to whatever I am going through.

“The human mind has absolute freedom within its true nature. You can attain your freedom intuitively. Do not work for freedom, rather allow the practice itself to be liberation. When you wish to rest, move your body slowly and stand up quietly. Practice this meditation in the morning or in the evening, or at any leisure time during the day. You will soon realize that your mental burdens are dropping away one by one, and that you are gaining an intuitive power hitherto unnoticed.” — 1 likes
“Great Discourse on Blessings AT one time the Exalted One was living in Jeta Grove. A certain deity of astounding beauty approached the Exalted One and said: Many deities and humans have pondered on blessings. Tell me the blessings supreme. The Buddha replied: To associate not with the foolish, to be with the wise, to honor the worthy ones this is a blessing supreme. To reside in a suitable location, to have good past deeds done, to set oneself in the right direction this is a blessing supreme. To be well spoken, highly trained, well educated, skilled in handicraft, and highly disciplined, this is a blessing supreme. To be well caring of mother, of father, to look after spouse and children, to engage in a harmless occupation, this is a blessing supreme. Outstanding behavior, blameless action, open hands to all relatives and selfless giving, this is a blessing supreme. To cease and abstain from evil, to avoid intoxicants, to be diligent in virtuous practices, this is a blessing supreme. To be reverent and humble, content and grateful, to hear the Dharma at the right time, this is a blessing supreme. To be patient and obedient, to visit with spiritual people, to discuss the Dharma at the right time, this is a blessing supreme. To live austerely and purely, to see the noble truths, and to realize nirvana, this is the blessing supreme. A mind unshaken when touched by the worldly states, sorrowless, stainless, and secure, this is the blessing supreme. Those who have fulfilled all these are everywhere invincible; they find well-being everywhere, theirs is the blessing supreme. adapted from MANGALA SUTTA, translated by Gunaratana Mahathera” — 1 likes
