Inhaltsangabe

The Dhammapada ("dhamma" meaning teaching and "pada" meaning path) is perhaps the best-known Buddhist text, consisting of 423 verses compiled in the 3rd century BC. Though not lengthy, these teachings gather what are said to be Buddha's utterances over many years as collected by his disciples. His words reveal nothing less than the Buddhist Law of the Universe. Simple and profound, these truths are the key to understanding Buddhism.
