The "Dhammapada" is one of the most popular and accessible books in all of Buddhist literature. In it are the words of the Buddha, teaching that all suffering stems from desire and that the way to attain freedom is to purify the heart and follow the way of truth. Thomas Byrom's verse rendering of the "Dhammapada" uniquely captures the Buddha's original teachings with simplicity and lyricism.
