The Dhammapada | Free Book
A Beloved Classic of Buddhist Writing
One of the
best known and most beloved of the Buddhist scriptures,
The Dhammapada
is a collection of the sayings of the Buddha. According to
tradition, each of the verses contained within the text were spoken
by the Buddha, surviving through the centuries to find their way
into the hands of modern readers.
Translated by Max Muller, the verses cover a range of topics from
Thought and Pleasure to Old Age, Happiness, and The Way. They are
both simple and profound, guideposts to living an enlightened life
and incisive shards of wisdom that cut through our passivity to the
reality of spiritual enlightenment.
This edition of The Dhammapada is part of the Essential
Wisdom Library, a series that seeks to bring spiritual wisdom, both
old and new, to modern readers.
