I wanted to ask the opinion of more experienced members here if listening to talks on AudioDharma and watching documentaries about the Buddha and Buddhism etc. is a sufficient way to learn the teachings without doing extensive reading of books and reading the suttas? I find reading books online very sore and tiring on the eyes, which is why I found listening to a couple of the talks a much more enjoyable way to gain information. I don’t want to spend a fortune sending for lots of books if possible.

I’ve made a start on the different limbs of the eightfold path now, and see that there are many talks given by different speakers covering this. Are they all reliable sources or are some better than others at covering all the aspects and putting the message across, and if so, which ones would you recommend I listen to? There are so many speakers listed on the site that its difficult to know which ones to choose.

Cheers
Aasha
