Dhammapada The Way of Truth

The Dhammapada is one of the most popular and influential of Buddhist scriptures. The universality of its message, the depth of its teaching, and the refined simplicity of its language have earned it an honored place in world literature. It can be taken as a straightforward and practical summary of the essential teachings of the Buddha, but, much more than that, as a poetic representation of a sublime spiritual ideal. This new translation seeks to inspire and encourage the qualifies of kindness, gentleness, and self-control, of simplicity, contentment, and serenity, commended by the Buddha himself. These qualities lead, in time, to the satisfaction of the deepest longings of the human heart.Sangharakshita is the author of 'Dhammapada The Way of Truth' with ISBN 9781899579358 and ISBN 1899579354.
