Dhammapada (Shambhala Pocket Classics)

Rating:
Summary: Perfect
Review: This translation captures all the depth and complexity of this teaching in sparse poetic lines. My life had been enriched immeasurably by contact with this text. Its meaning grows with every encounter.

Rating:
Summary: A classic
Review: Whether a practicing Buddhist or just interested in comparative religion, I can recommend this for your shelf. If you can find the larger format previous edition in hardback, get it instead for the beautiful photographs that illustrate it. But this little version is wonderfully compact and makes a good companion while traveling.
