Dhammapada

The Dhammapada (translated: The path of Dharma) is a Buddhist religious scripture, containing 423 verses in 26 categories. According to tradition, these are the answers to questions posed to Siddartha Gautama, the Buddha, most of them deal with ethics.

Part of the Tipitaka, the Dhammapada is considered to be one of the most important pieces of Theravada literature.

Excerpt from the Dhammapada

    • Pull yourself out
    • As an elephant from mud
