Buddhism is a recent interest of mine and this lovely little book was a wonderful first look. It's very easy to read and more matter-of-fact than I thought. There is no bulk of metaphysical nonsense that some will say one is either too young, too inexperienced or too whatever too understand. It's not a list of impossible rules for living. It's like a small book of life goals and advice for achieving happiness in a natural, stress free, non-guilt producing way. It's good common sense and not too lofty or unreachable. It explains a way of achieving order out of chaos. I think I'll keep my copy on my nightstand for bedtime reading and for those I nights I wake too soon. It makes me feel so calm.

From the Publisher
“A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.”
“Conquer the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth.
“Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.”
These ancient verses offer a compelling introduction to Buddhist thought, revealing the Four Truths.
They concern the nature of the world and our lot in it and the Eightfold Path to enlightenment.
The means by which to overcome the essential suffering revealed by the Four Truths as the essence of life.
Few of the sacred texts of the world's great religions present their wisdom with the clear simplicity of the verses of the Buddhist Dhammapada, or Path to Virtue. Its direct style, clarity, and beauty place it at the forefront of Buddhist sacred literature, and its noble intent raises it to the highest level of humanity's spiritual guides.

I needed this book for a class. Although the cover of the book reflected the book's age, the printing in the book is still very clear on every page. Worth its price!
