THE

DHAM M APADA

THE WAY OF TRUTH

Translated from the Original Pali

BY S. W. WIJAYATILAKE

The Dhammapada, fough a work of small propor-
tions, is one of the greatest books of the Buddhist World
and occupies in Buddhism the same unique position
as the Bhagavad Gita does in Hinduism. Like the
Bhagavad Gita, the Dhammapada enjoys the
same popularity.

Like the Bhagavad Gita, which embodies the essence
of Hinduism, the Dhammapada gives in outline of
the Buddha's teaching on the ethical and practical side,
a fact which makes it a constant guide and companion
to the student of Buddhism. Many a convert to Buddhism
traces his or her conversion to the Dhammapada.

The present translation, like the translation of the
Bhagavad Gita, is intended for the ordinary reader, and
it is hoped it will be appreciated by such.

The People: An authoritative translation. . . In the
original Pali text it was not available to every one
except to
the initiated few, but by rendering it
in English, Mr. Wijayatilake bas brought it within
reach of every one.'
