About

The "Dhammapada," or "Path to Virtue," is one of the most practical ethical handbooks of Buddhism. It is included in the canon of Buddhistic Scriptures, and is one of the Eastern books, which can be read with delight to-day by those who are classed as general readers. It is divided into twenty-six chapters, and the keynote of it is struck by the phrase "The virtuous man is happy in this world, and he is happy in the next, he is happy in both. He is happy when he thinks of the good he has done, he is still more happy when going on the good path."
This collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. This English translation, compiled and adapted to awaken the minds of the western world, expresses the cream of the Buddhist philosophical thoughts on humanity and society.
