DHAMMAPADA VERSES
By Venerable Dr K. Dhammadinna Thero, Doctorate of Philosophy (Pd.D.) from the Postgraduate Institute of Pali and Buddhist Studies University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka.
The Living Message of the Dhammapada
The
Dhammapada is a work familiar to every devout Buddhist and to every serious student of Buddhism. This small
collection of 423 verses on the Buddha's
doctrine is so rich in insights that it
might be considered the perfect compendium of the Dhamma in its practical dimensions. In the countries of
Theravada Buddhism the Dhammapada is
regarded as an inexhaustible source of guidance and spiritual inspiration, as the wise counselor
to which to turn for help in resolving
the difficult moral and personal problems
inescapable in daily life. Just as the Buddha is looked upon as the human kalyanamitta or spiritual friend
par excellence, so the Dhammapada is
looked upon as the scriptural kalyanamitta par
excellence, a small embodiment in verse of the boundless wisdom and great compassion of the Master.-Bhikkhu Bodhi
