Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
According to Eknath Easwaran, if all of the Buddhist sutras had been lost and only the Dhammapada remained, that would be enough to understand and appreciate the wisdom of the Buddha. Easwaran's version of the Dhammapada goes a long way to proving this. In a lengthy introduction, Easwaran summarises the life of the Buddha and the main tenets of his thought, including key concepts, such as dharma, karma and nirvana. The language of the Dhammapada is as lucid and flowing as the Psalms or the Sermon on the Mount, and this is why it is one of the most loved and remembered of all Buddhist sutras. Its subject matter, put succinctly, is the training of the mind, which leads to kind thoughts and deeds, which bring peace and freedom from suffering. If you are interested in reading one of the gems of Buddhist literature, this is a good place to start; and if you are looking for a great version of this beloved scripture, you can't do better. Like all great world scripture, the verses here reward re-reading and reflection, prompting you to "strive for wisdom always". --Brian Bruya

Somehow I have managed to collect ten different translations of the Dhammapada. This one is my favorite. The introductions to each section are very helpful to understanding the context these verses originated from. The translations themselves are alive, unlike some of the others that I have in my library.
I highly recommend this translation.

Eknath Easwaran's translation of "The Dhammapada" is superb. I'm not a Buddhist and you don't have to be to glean an ounce of wisdom from these pages. The Buddha's words can apply to anyone and everyone who reads with an open mind and heart.
Easwaran begins with a fantastic, lengthy, introduction detailing the Buddha's life. The concepts of Karma, Dharma and Nirvana are also explained.
The Bhudda's words are comprised in 25 chapters, grouped by topic. Each chapter recieves an introduction by Stephen Ruppenthal.
If you enjoy this version of "The Dhammapada", might I also recommend "The Bhagavad Gita" and the "Upanishads", also by Easwaran. These two books provide a wonderful spiritual and philosophic look into the Hindu religion.

Eknath Easwaran and Stephen Ruppenthal have beautifully and lovingly rendered the Buddha's ideas into English. The forward and chapter summaries explain the context in which the Buddha lived and taught. Their clear examples give us a clear understanding of the foundation of one of the world's great religions - and insight into one of the world's most loving, gentle persons.
Eknath Easwaran correctly likens this to Jesus' sermon on the mount - a summation of the Buddha's core beliefs and ideals.
This is an inspirational book about an incredible person; I recommend it for those who wish to learn more about one of the world's great cultures and religions.
