Wisdom of the Buddha The Unabridged Dhammapada

"Among the sacred texts of the world's great religions, few present their wisdom with such clear, simple accessibility as the verses of the Buddhist Dhammapada, or Path to Virtue. Gathered by Buddhist masters into related groups under such titles as "On Earnestness", "Flowers", "The Fool", "The Wise Man", "Happiness", and "Pleasure", these ancient texts form a compelling introduction to Buddhist thought. Expressed with great beauty, translated with painstaking scholarship, this volume is certain to stimulate, challenge and inspire any student of religion or seeker of wisdom."
