About this listen

Buddhism is a house full of treasures – practices for gaining the happiness of future lives, the bliss of liberation and the supreme happiness of enlightenment – but knowing the difference between Dharma and non-Dharma practices is the key that opens the door to all those treasures. No matter how much we know about emptiness, the chakras or controlling our vital energy through kundalini yoga, it's all pointless without this crucial understanding of how to practice Dharma, how to correct our actions.

"There are vast numbers of people who delude themselves and waste their entire life studying the most esoteric aspects of Buddhism but never understand the most fundamental point, the distinction between Dharma and non-Dharma. Even if we understand nothing else, if, by recognizing the eight worldly dharmas, we can clearly differentiate between what is Dharma and what is not Dharma, we're very fortunate. This is the essential point." – Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

One of the best Dharma books I've read/heard recently. It is the clearest explanation of what constitutes dharma. I re-listened to it at least 10 times, because for a practicing Buddhist, it's required reading/listening.

Clearest Exposition of Dharma

I’m new to Buddhism. This book gave me some great examples of dharma in practice and relating it to everyday life.
No one will ever agree 100% with a religious view so there were a few sections which didn’t resonate with me but still, I haven’t been deterred from my journey.

Great for curious beginners

If you were sent to prison for the rest of your life and could only take one dharma book with you, this is the type of book you would take with you.
