Dhammapada: the way of truth

'Experiences are preceded by mind, led by mind, and produced by mind. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows like a shadow that never departs.'

The Dhammapada is one of the most popular and influential of Buddhist scriptures. Contained within its short verses are the essential teachings of the Buddha, words to be savoured, reflected upon and revisited.

This beautiful new pocket-sized paperback edition presents a new translation of the scripture, one that brings a refreshing sense of directness and immediacy to these verses.
