The Dhammapada Buddha A Collection of Verses Being One of the Canonical Books of the Buddhists Translated from Pali by F. Max Muller Brand New Copy New Edition From: The Sacred Books of the East Translated by Various Oriental Scholars Edited by F. Max Muller Volume X The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. The original version of the Dhammapada is in the Khuddaka Nikaya, a division of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. The Buddhist scholar and commentator Buddhaghosa explains that each saying recorded in the collection was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community. His commentary, the Dhammapada Atthakatha, presents the details of these events and is a rich source of legend for the life and times of the Buddha.
