Summary

The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. Each saying was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community. It is a good introductory primer on Buddhist thought.

The sayings are split into 26 chapters as follows:

  1. The Twin-Verses
  2. On Earnestness
  3. Thought
  4. Flowers
  5. The Fool
  6. The Wise Man
  7. The Venerable
  8. The Thousands
  9. Evil
  10. Punishment
  11. Old Age
  12. Self
  13. The World
  14. The Buddha - The Awakened
  15. Happiness
  16. Pleasure
  17. Anger
  18. Impurity
  19. The Just
  20. The Way
  21. Miscellaneous
  22. The Downward Course
  23. The Elephant
  24. Thirst
  25. The Mendicant
