 Discover the timeless wisdom of the Dhammapada, a cherished collection of verses that serve as one of the foundational texts of Buddhism. The term Dhammapada translates to The Path of Dharma, with the Pali term Dhamma aligning closely with its Sanskrit counterpart, Dharma. This compilation encapsulates the Buddhas teachings, meticulously gathered by his devoted students in the years following his final Nirvana. Spanning forty-five years of profound insights, these 423 verses—marked by their clarity and often playful wit—offer vivid similes that resonate with all ages, from the carts wheel to a mans shadow, and even a deep pool of water. Through these teachings, the Buddha inspires us to pursue the greatest victory the conquest of self, guiding us away from the turmoil of passion, hatred, and ignorance. (Summary by Jothi)
