- Synopsis
-
The Dhammapada is often characterized as the most representative example of the teachings of the Buddha. It provides, beautifully and simply, a key to the fundamentals of early Buddhist philosophy and has been translated from the original Pali into more languages than any other Buddhist text.
The message of the Dhammapada is relevant to our time. It points to a way of life and attitudes that emphasize harmony and oneness with all living beings. Its message of right action is timeless as well as timely, reflecting the spirit of the Buddha's teaching method, and speaks to the perfectibility of humankind and to the scientific impeccability of the law of cause and effect.
This version of the Dhammapada has been derived from the translation by one of the most highly regarded teachers in the Theravada Buddhist world, The Most Venerable Aggamahapandita Balangoda Ananda Maitreya, Mahanayaka Thera.
