This is a paperback reprint of a book that was first published in 1987. It is an English translation of the most popular text in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. It also includes a translation (with transliteration) of the Pali commentary on the verses, as well as the translators' own notes and commentary.

The Dhammapada, the Pali version of one of the most popular texts of the Buddhist canon, also ranks among the classics of the world's religious literature. This critical edition presents to the English reader for the first time the Dhammapada as it has been known throughout the centuries. With this volume, Carter and Palihawadana make a major contribution to the understanding of the Dhammapada, not only by presenting a new and accuratetranslation of the verses, but also by enabling readers to see the wake of this remarkable text through centuries of Buddhist tradition. In addition to the original Pali, the editors provide a translation of the commentary on theverses and the subsequent brief explanations of verse and commentarial passages provided by Sinhala sources.
