{"product_id":"dhammapada-annotated-explained","title":"Dhammapada : Annotated \u0026 Explained","description":"Ancient words of the Buddha (\"awakened one\") that can become a companion for your own spiritual journey.\nThe Dhammapada (\"Path of the Buddha's Teachings\") is a daily inspiration for millions of Buddhists all over the world and for people of all spiritual traditions who have been impressed by its beauty and power. These words―believed to have been spoken by the Buddha himself over 2,500 years ago―contain most of Buddhism's central teachings.\nOriginally composed in the ancient language of Pali, this timeless text concisely and inspirationally portrays the route a person travels as he or she advances toward enlightenment. With poetic sequence and rhythm, the Dhammapada describes the fundamental role of mental conditioning in making us who we are. It paints contrasting portraits of three levels of our human existence―the fool, the wise one and the enlightened one―and addresses specific aspects of experience, conduct and belief that characterize our transformation from one of these modes of being to another.\nNow you can experience the Dhammapada with understanding even if you have no previous knowledge of Buddhism. This SkyLight Illuminations edition offers insightful yet unobtrusive commentary that explains references and philosophical terms, shares the inspiring interpretations of famous spiritual teachers, and gives you deeper insight into the text.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 189336142X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.189336142X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Muller, Max|Maguire, Jack\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
