Dhammapada (Version 2)

A collection of 423 verses from the Dhammapada, a canonical Buddhist text. These verses, compiled by the Buddha's students after his final Nirvana, are drawn from his discourses over forty-five years of teaching. They offer terse, witty, and convincing teachings on conquering the self and escaping passion, hatred, and ignorance. The verses use simple similes like a cart's wheel or a man's shadow to convey profound truths.
