The Dhammapada is one of the most popular and influential of Buddhist scriptures, containing the essential teachings of the Buddha. This translation by Sangharakshita is presented as a beautiful pocket-sized edition.

Experiences are preceded by mind, led by mind and produced by mind. If one speaks or acts with an impure mind, suffering follows even as the cart-wheel follows the hoof of the ox drawing the cart.

Experiences are preceded by mind, led by mind and produced by mind. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows like a shadow that never departs.
