The Scriptural Text: Verses Of The Doctrine, With Parables

Book Summary


Translated from the Chinese by Dr. Charles Willemen, this text is based on the Dhammapada of which approximately two-thirds of the verses appear in this volume. What is unique about this BDK presentation of the Dhammpada is that at the start of each chapter in this book, a number of verses are quoted, followed by tales relating the events surrounding the origin of each verse. In terms of Buddhist literature, the Dhammapada is probably the most translated Buddhist text in the world. (Taisho Tripitaka #211)
