The Buddha’s teachings in verse

This volume presents the Dhammapada as a collection of the Buddha’s sayings, rendered in verse by Thomas Byrom. Its teachings connect suffering with desire and describe freedom through purification of the heart and adherence to truth. The edition also includes a foreword by Ram Dass. The book’s focus is the Dhammapada’s spiritual and ethical instruction, rather than a narrative account of the Buddha’s life.
