Ancient words of the Buddha ("awakened one") that can become a
companion for your own spiritual journey. The Dhammapada ("Path of
the Buddha's Teachings") is a daily inspiration for millions of
Buddhists all over the world and for people of all spiritual
traditions who have been impressed by its beauty and power. These
words—believed to have been spoken by the Buddha himself over
2,500 years ago—contain most of Buddhism's central teachings.
Originally composed in the ancient language of Pali, this timeless
text concisely and inspirationally portrays the route a person
travels as he or she advances toward enlightenment. With poetic
sequence and rhythm, the Dhammapada describes the fundamental role
of mental conditioning in making us who we are. It paints
contrasting portraits of three levels of our human existence—the
fool, the wise one and the enlightened one—and addresses specific
aspects of experience, conduct and belief that characterize our
transformation from one of these modes of being to another. Now you
can experience the Dhammapada with understanding even if you have
no previous knowledge of Buddhism. This SkyLight Illuminations
edition offers insightful yet unobtrusive commentary that explains
references and philosophical terms, shares the inspiring
interpretations of famous spiritual teachers, and gives you deeper
insight into the text.
