Front Cover
Penguin Books, 1996 - Religion - 208 pages
The Dhammapada is to Buddhism what the Sermon on the Mount is to Christianity: a simply summary of its teachings, expressed with harmony and simplicity. Probably gathered from Buddha's direct disciples who wished to preserve his wisdom, The Dhammapada is comprised of vivid, practical verse in the oral tradition of the 6th century BC.
