The Path to Enlightenment
I was not sure about getting this book. I thought it might be too far above my spiritual plain if you will.
So far I have listened to parts of the book three times, gone through the complete book twice and will probably do it again.
The book was well spoken.
I will say, however, I want to get the book from the library to check the spelling on some words and chants.

Another great book from his holiness.
The lamrim teachings are delivered in a gradual way starting from the small scope, all the wsy to the Great scope. This book does just that, great for beginners and advanced alike.

Choppy
This book reminds me that fire and brimstone is not limited to Christianity; it thrives in Buddhism as well. I really didn't learned anything new from this book, and HH Dalai Lama comes across as rather preachy. This is not his best work.
Narration by Lama Ken McLeod is excellent and the best reason to get this.
