The Kumarajiva Project has also produced 20 audiobooks in modern Chinese, most of them recorded by dedicated volunteers. Designed to reach an even larger audience, these audiobooks include sutras on taming the mind and pacifying pandemics and feature background music, some composed especially for the recordings.

"The words were really clear and compelling, while the background music was so well suited to the text that I was transported directly to Vulture’s Peak … The more I listened the more my eyes filled with tears, and my restless mind began to settle down."
– Vanessa Huang, audiobook listener
