The Dhammapada (100 Copy Collector's Edition) Hardcover – September 13, 2020

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 88 ratings

The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form. It is one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. According to tradition, the Dhammapada’s verses were spoken by the Buddha on various occasions. Each saying recorded in the collection was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community.

The Dhammapada is considered one of the most popular pieces of Theravada literature. The text is part of the Khuddaka Nikaya of the Sutta Pitaka, although over half of the verses exist in other parts of the Pali Canon, a collection of Buddhist writings of Theravada Buddhism.

This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

The media could not be loaded.
 For the price I expected the hardcover, binding, pages and print to be better quality. I also really do not like this translation. It is very simplified. I purchased this for a gift with the thought of sharing specific quotes with someone but I can’t because this translation barely mentions the meaning of what I wanted to share. I don’t even want this and don’t even want to give it to anybody. I think I might just keep it so no one else will read it because I feel it does the dhammapada a disservice.
