Book - Dhammapada: The Teachings of Buddha

Dhammapada is one of those books that seem simple at first glance but surprise you with their depth. Each verse is short and direct, but if you read it again after some time, you’ll notice it changes. Or rather, you change, your understanding of what you read changes.

Buddha’s words here don’t try to convince anyone or promise anything. They simply point the way, and it’s curious how this act of showing is exactly the opposite of imposing.

Even though it’s an old translation, the reading flows easily. You can feel the essence of the teachings, focused on mindfulness, compassion, and detachment. Three pillars that sound simple until you actually try to apply them in daily life.

It’s the kind of book to keep by your bedside, open at any page, and read one teaching a day.
