2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read

In more than 400 verses the Buddha clearly expounds his noble path of virtue for everyman. This foundation scripture teaches the supreme doctrine of nirvana and the way to the highest possible happiness for mankind. Oxford professor Dr. Max Muller, a great scholar and Orientalist, did the translation.

Dhammapada: The Essential Teachings of the Buddha | Max Muller

so-so

its literal translation from original Buddhist scripts. I feel like a lot has been lost in translation. Much of the chapters are focused on different subjects which contradict with earlier texts. Chapters like anger, happiness, humility are core earner and teach valuable lesson nevertheless. Probably Not a book for those who are new to Buddhism, an explained and well narrated translation would have been better.
