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.
