Description
The Dhammapada is a collection of simple verses that form part of the oldest surviving body of Buddhist writings. Traditionally regarded as the authentic teachings of the Buddha, these verses are gathered in themes such as 'awareness', 'fools' and 'old age', offering accessible and instructional guidance on the path to enlightenment.
With its focus on the transience of life and the importance of living in the present, the Dhammapada provides a unique perspective on the human condition. This edition, published by Penguin, offers a valuable insight into the teachings of Buddhism and the wisdom of the Buddha's words.
