Summary

The Noble Eightfold Path is one of the most important teachings in Buddhism. In this series of eight lectures, given originally in 1965, Urgyen Sangharakshita introduces each stage, from right understanding to right meditation, explaining the deeper implications involved.

Sangharakshita, the London-born Buddhist teacher, is one of the most influential figures in the development of Buddhism in the West. The founder of the Triratna Buddhist Order(originally called the Western Buddhist Order), he sought to draw on all the Buddhist traditions and produce a new synthesis with particular relevance to modern Western society - a view that underpins his teaching of the Dharma.

This groundbreaking series of lectures was given in London in 1965 and is presented here in a newly mastered recording which has dealt with many - though not all - the extraneous noises. It remains one of the clearest and most direct accounts of the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path.

Best understandable interpretation of the 8 fold path

Have listened more than once as things become clearer in my mind from listening & reading other books. It is a truly understandable description in bite size lectures enabling a novice to comprehend Buddhist philosophy and phycology. The way out of aimlessness as taught by Buddha.

Recommended for anyone seeking guidance / a deeper understanding of Buddhism in the West

Clear, profound, humane and engaging. Has deepened my understanding of Buddhism and motivated me in my practise.

Perfect for English-speaking individuals curious about what Buddhism means in practise, beginner Buddhists or those thinking of following the Path, and intermediate Buddhists seeking to deepen their understanding from a new perspective.

A blessing to hear

Such a blessing to hear Sangharakshita’s talk on the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path. What’s even more astounding is that this recording is of a talk given in 1965.

I have listened to this talk many times. Listening to this talk has really helped me interpret my own meditative experiences. For which I am very grateful.

Many thanks to all of those involved in this production.
