From AudioFile

A compilation of Buddhist writings is presented in an accessible format. Each section of text is introduced with a short statement by narrator Sean Barrett, followed by the text itself, presented by Kulananda or Anton Lesser--or in the case of dialogues with the Buddha, both of these two narrators. Each narrator reads with reference and respect. The recording is broken into separate tracks on the CD for each introduction and each section of text. A booklet enclosed with the recording provides a key to the tracks. This post-production care enhances the use of the collection as an introduction to Buddhist teachings and/or a meditation tool. J.E.M.

This review is from: Voice of Buddha: The Dhammapada, the Mangala Sutta and Other Key Buddhist Texts (Audio CD)
Well produced audio book. 3 CD's, about 4 hours long. A narrator first explains the source of several teachings, from the Pali Canon, to follow. Then, actors read Buddha's text to simulate how the Buddha and his followers may have sounded, as Shakyamuni (the Buddha) taught his lessons.
