The Dhammapada, translated by Buddharakkhita, is one of the most cherished scriptures of Theravada Buddhism — a collection of 423 verses attributed to the Buddha himself, presenting the core of the dharma in pithy, memorable form. Its verses on the mind, suffering, the path, and nirvana have guided and comforted practitioners for over two thousand years. This translation is widely used in meditation centers and Buddhist studies programs for its fidelity and clarity.

Same theme, different voices

One attains Perfect Knowledge when one sees God in man.

Pride, whether based on caste, state, language, or the strength of one's body, mind, or wealth, always gives rise to feelings of hatred and jealousy.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.

God is the enduring one, and everything else is transient.
