Dhammapada: The Path of Perfection — Translated by Juan Mascaró

The Dhammapada gathers Buddhist ethical teachings in short verses arranged by theme. Awareness, self-command, endurance, good and harmful action form part of its reflection on the path toward liberation.

Juan Mascaró translates this Penguin Classics edition. The compact, direct verses invite slow reading and repeated reflection on how conduct and attention shape a life.
