Buddhism for Beginners David J. Manske As a beginning practioner, with little time now to look for a personal teacher, I depend on learning from some of the great teachers, by print or audio media. I found Jack Kornfield's teachings, on this audio course, to be insightful, easy to follow, well illustrated with examples and peppered with his delightful sense of humor. I can only hope to meet him some day. I would highly recommend this audio course to anyone interested in Buddhist philosophy and would wish that some of our world leaders would buy a copy as well!. Patrick said Outstanding !. This is the best talk I've listened to. I've listened several times over several years and it gets better each time (or perhaps I get wiser). Kornfield is both wise and funny. I highly recommend that you get this at Audible for two reasons 1) It is much cheaper ($Outstanding ! This is the best talk I've listened to.

This is a wonderful introduction to Buddhism - immediately understandable to a Western audience and full of meaning. Jack Kornfield is a rare teacher - intelligent and funny. I was very sad to reach the end of this series, and will probably listen to it again. I can't recommend it highly enough - it's wonderful.
