Publisher's Synopsis
Thousands of years old yet simple and direct in its style, the Dhammapada is an essential component of the Pali Buddhist cannon. This modest book is the most widely-read text of the Buddhist scriptures. Its four hundred proverbs and eloquent reflections, all attributed to the Buddha, offer a wealth of timeless wisdom and practical guidance to spiritual seekers from all walks of life. This Bayley Street Press edition is a republication of the 1881 printing by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, England. It includes a reprinting of the 1917 essay "The Way to Nirvana" by Louis de la Vallee Poussin.
