Product Description
Product Description
This classic translation of one of the world's most beautiful sacred texts serves as a clear, profound introduction to the basic precepts of Buddhism. Müller-one of the most popular, most respected, and most influential thinkers on spirituality of the 19th century-here, in this 1900 volume, he renders the wisdom of the Buddha in simple, lucid language, bringing the insight of the Buddha's Eightfold Path from misery to enlightenment to all. Seekers after spiritual comfort and students of world religion will be enthralled by this exquisite work. German author FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER (1823-1900) combined the studies of language, culture, and religion to create the discipline of comparative mythology. Among his many works are The Sacred Books of the East and India: What Can It Teach Us?

Format:Paperback
Every Buddhist or potential Buddhist must have a copy.
Very straightforward translation and good value.

I suppose reviewing the Dhammapada is a little moot. It is a great testament of buddhist philosophy which is easy to understand by people new to the teachings of the Buddha and appreciated by others more familiar with them. What I would like to comment on is the edition. The translation is very good and it's great value for money. It's very easy to read on the go as it is quite thin. The cover is also beautiful.
Format:Paperback
This is a good reference which is unadorned with 'distracting' commentary but for me this made it slightly hard to follow. Since it is inexpensive I would recommend this for someone who had already learned a bit about Buddha's teaching and wanted to get to the heart of the matter. But for someone who has no experience with his teaching this book with seem obscure and repetitive for all but the extremely insightful.

Met my expectations
This is/was a book that I chose as a first considerate step towards grasping the knowledge of Buddhism. The amount of literature on the subject was overwhelming. Read more

Poor translation, many better ones
This is a very old translation and has been superseded by many more accurate and beautiful ones.
