Easwaran’s best-selling translation of this classic Buddhist
text The Dhammapada is reliable, readable, and
profound. Dhammapada means "the path of dharma," the path of
harmony and righteousness that anyone can follow to reach the
highest good. The Dhammapada is a collection of verses, gathered
probably from direct disciples who wanted to preserve what they had
heard from the Buddha himself. Easwaran's comprehensive
introduction to the Dhammapada gives an overview of the Buddha's
teachings that is penetrating, and clear – accessible for readers
new to Buddhism, but also with fresh insights and practical
applications for readers familiar with this text. His translation
is based on the original Pali. Chapter introductions, notes and a
Sanskrit glossary place individual verses into the context of the
broader Buddhist canon. Easwaran is a master storyteller, and the
introduction includes many stories that make moving, memorable
reading, bringing young Siddhartha and his heroic spiritual quest
vividly to life. This faithful interpretation brings us closer to
the compassionate heart of the Buddha. ---
