    Genuine Dhamma
    Title
  • ricketybridge891
    Extremely concise and helpful
    All the reviews here are correct: these recordings are incredibly helpful and have gotten me through some very difficult times. I’ve listened to a lot of dhamma talks at this point from many different people, and Ajahn Geoff’s are the best by FAR. Like, there’s no contest. Pound for pound, you will get more profound insights per second listening to these recordings than any others. He’s really respectful of our time—and doesn’t even hesitate or say “um,” even though I’m pretty sure he’s not reading these talks, which is remarkable. His depth of knowledge of the Pali Canon is likely without equal, and it really makes a huge difference. Other dhamma teachers completely misrepresent the dhamma in really bizarre ways. Others just blindly parrot the dhamma, whereas Ajahn Geoff has made it has own, as if speaking from experience. Could not recommend highly enough.
