Description

The Dhammapada Verses on the Way This collection of 423 verses offers a distillation of core Buddhist teachings that can be applied to everyday life. Written nearly two and a half thousand years ago, the Dhammapada addresses fundamental questions about human existence, including the nature of the self, relationships, awareness, anger, attachment, and mortality. Glenn Wallis's elegant translation brings these timeless words to life, drawing on the canonical suttas - the earliest discourses attributed to the Buddha. The result is a guide to enlightened living that remains relevant today. A chapter-by-chapter explication of the verses enhances our understanding of their meaning and significance. This book provides a valuable introduction to Buddhist teachings and offers practical wisdom for navigating life's challenges.
