THE DHAMMAPADA The Gospel of the Buddha Revised Translation by Paul
Smith from translation from the Pali of F. Max Muller From ancient
times to now, the Dhammapada has been regarded as the most succinct
expression of the Buddha's teaching and the chief spiritual
testament of early Buddhism. In the countries following Buddhism,
the influence of the Dhammapada is immeasurable. It is a guidebook
for resolving problems of everyday life, and a primer for the
instruction in the wisdom of understanding. The admiration the
Dhammapada has elicited has not been confined to followers of
Buddhism. Wherever it has become known, its moral earnestness,
realistic understanding of human life, wisdom and stirring message
of a way to freedom from suffering have won for it the devotion and
veneration of those responsive to the good and true. 247 pages
