THE DhammaPada is one of the fifteen important treatises that comprise the Khuddaka Nikãya, the fifth Smaller Collection of the Sutta Pitaka, the Basket of Discourses.
The DhammaPada consists of 423 melodious Pãli verses, uttered by the Buddha on about 300 occasions, to suit the temperaments of the listeners in the course of his preaching tours during his ministry of forty-five years. Circumstances that leed to these noble utterances are presented in the form of short or long stories, together with traditional interpretations of the Pãli verses and technical terms, in the voluminous commentary written by Buddhaghosa. This valuable commentary has been ably translated by E.W. Burlinghame for the Harvard Oriental Series. It must be said that most of these verses are better understood when read with the context.
