About the Book

Learn About The Teachings And Values Of Buddhists Through The Dhammapada People interested in the teachings and values of Buddhism as well as those wishing to learn more about Oriental cultures will definitely appreciate the Dhammapada. In this versified scripture they will find the core of the Buddhist religions as well as perhaps get an insight into their nature and meaning. The Dhammapada is thought to be the teachings of the Buddha himself. It is claimed that he uttered these verses at least 300 times during his lifelong travels. The verses contain teachings of the Awakaned one and these are virtually known by every true Buddhist. The Dhammapada contains 423 verses, all written in the dead language of Pali. However, people wishing to read them won't have to study this ancient language thanks to the efforts of Friedrich Max Muller. This philologist and Orientalist managed to accurately translate the Dhammapada so that others could enjoy the teachings of Buddha. The Dhammapada is one of the best known texts that are part of the Theravada canon, as well as the most studied ones by western scholars. It is thought that the disciples of Buddha managed to collect, select and compile the most important sayings of Buddha so that future generations might be able to enjoy their beauty and wisdom. The title of the scriptures - the Dhammapada - might refer to several things. It is composed of two words - dhamma and pada. Dhamma can mean many things, but it is most likely attributed to eternal truth or righteousness, while pada means foot, although in this context it is most likely referring to path. Not only those seeking the path of the Buddha would enjoy reading the Dhammapada. There are many things that can be learnt from reading these ancient sayings, and all could benefit from a bit of Oriental wisdom that puts more emphasis on eternal truth rather than on the concept of self.
