Description:
The Dhammapada is one of the most popular and revered texts in Buddhism. In the words of the Buddha himself, orally transmitted by his students and collected in 423 short verses, it captures the essence of Buddhist teaching. Compiled in the third century BCE, the text is part of the Pali Canon, the Sutta-pitaka (collections of sermons) of the Tripitaka and can he found in the Khuddaka Nikayan (collection of little texts).
The Dhammapada is a very inspiring text that covers moral teaching, teachings on mindfulness as well as on how to obtain happiness and find a way out of suffering.
