Ajahn Chah was admired for the way he demystified the Buddhist teachings, presenting them in a remarkably simple and down-to-earth style for people of any background. He was a major influence and mentor for a generation of American Buddhist teachers. Previous books by Ajahn Chah have consisted of collections of short teachings on a wide variety of subjects. This new book focuses on the theme of impermanence, offering powerful remedies for overcoming our deep-seated fear of change, including guidance on letting go of attachments, living in the present, and taking up the practice of meditation.

According to Pema Chodrön, spiritual practice has nothing to do with “self-improvement” since, as the title of this audiobook explains, you are already perfect just as you are.

The Vimalakirti Sutra is one of the most popular Mahayana sutras. One reason for the Sutra’s popularity is that its principal character, Vimalakirti, is not a Buddha or a Bodhisattva or even a monk but a layman with a family living in India, leading - apparently - a secular life. This does not hinder his ability, the Sutra proclaims, to be a man of remarkable spiritual understanding and attainment - so much so that he confidently lectures and advises arhats (enlightened monks) and bodhisattvas (perfected individuals working for the enlightenment of all) on spiritual matters. 

Le Jataka, o vite anteriori del Buddha, sono una raccolta di 547 storie contenute nel canone buddista del V secolo, che si rifà ad una tradizione orale più antica. Le storie non hanno un ordine cronologico, e spesso non vedono il Buddha come protagonista, ma semplicemente come testimone sotto forma di spirito o divinità. Furono poi tradotte in inglese alla fine del 1800. In questo audiolibro si presentano 60 storie, tradotte dalla versione inglese di Chalmers del 1894.
