The Dhammapada: Sayings of the Buddha

By: F. Max Müller

Narrated by: Robin Homer

The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. Each saying was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community. It is a good introductory primer on Buddhist thought.

The sayings are split into 26 chapters as follows:

1. The Twin-Verses
2. On Earnestness
3. Thought
4. Flowers
5. The Fool
6. The Wise Man
7. The Venerable
8. The Thousands
9. Evil
10. Punishment
11. Old Age
12. Self
13. The World
14. The Buddha - The Awakened
15. Happiness
16. Pleasure
17. Anger
18. Impurity
19. The Just
20. The Way
21. Miscellaneous
22. The Downward Course
23. The Elephant
24. Thirst
25. The Mendicant
26. The Brahmana

A well narrated piece of art that helps me get in some of the teachings of the Dhamma on days that I have little time to focus on it.

Beautiful translation of the Dhammapada which caters to a western audience

This is a wonderful reading and translation of the Dhammapada. I would recommend this to anyone with a basic understanding of buddhism and wants to dive a little deeper in their understanding of theory and practice.
