The Dhammapada - the Path of Truth - is a beautiful anthology of proverbs and aphorisms, which are considered to be as close to the Buddha's own words as we can ever reach. The work outlines the Buddha's Four Noble Truths: that life is full of suffering, which all of us must accept; that the removal of desire removes suffering; and finally that deliverance might be obtained by following the Noble Eightfold Path. 'If man's faith is unsteady,if he does not know the true law, if his peace of mind is troubled, his knowledge will never be perfect'
Dr F. Max Muller (deceased) was Professor of Philology at Oxford University and the celebrated editor of the fifty-volume Sacred Books of the East series, which brought the most important Eastern scriptures to the notice of the Western world. Muller's elegant English prose is consistently faithful to the original Pali of the Dhammapada. Kevin Trainor is Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Vermont. He has written a number of highly regarded books on Bhuddhism.
