| Summary |
Eknath Easwaran, translator of the best-selling edition of the Dhammapada, sees this powerful scripture as a perfect map for the spiritual journey. Said to be the text closest to the Buddha's actual words, it is a collection of short teachings memorized during his lifetime by his disciples. Easwaran presents the Dhammapada as a guide to spiritual perseverance, progress, and ultimately enlightenment? a heroic confrontation with life as it really is, with straight answers to our deepest questions. We witness the heartbreak of death, for instance? what does that mean for us? |
