About this audiobook

Robert Thurman's Basic Buddhism is a collective series of 5 lectures he has given on Buddhism. In these lectures, Thurman patiently takes apart each jewel of Buddhism: the Buddha as the teacher of enlightenment, the Dharma as the teaching, or enlightenment itself, and the Sangha as the historical and current community of learners seeking to become Buddhas.

I listened to part of the sample audiobook I stopped it because the narrator who's Robert Thurman is exaggerating Buddha's story. EG: When Buddha talks to a demon Buddua says "Your very charming looking with your horns" Robert Thurman then says, "Actually demons in India don't have horns there quite good looking.." Obviously he was exaggerating about the appearance of the demon. It's not the only thing he exaggerated about & u don't need to know Buddhism to know that he is.
