Dhammapadaya.(A practical guide to right living)

From ancient times to the present,the Dhammapada has been regarded as the most succinct expression of the Buddha's teaching. In the countries following Theravada Buddhism,it is a guidebook for every day life.Even withdrawn contemplatives must possess a copy of the book.Yet the admiration of Dhammapada has not been confined to followers of Buddhism.Wherever it has become known its aphoristic wisdom and stirring message have won veneration of all. credits goes to this site. http://www.tipitaka.net/tipitaka/dhp/
