I decided to buy this book because I had recently began to explore Buddhism as a possible faith for myself. I really enjoyed reading it, and have learned much from it. Both about myself and the world around me. This book is the equivalent of the Christian Sermon on the Mt. In getting this book I was hoping to get to know the Buddha a bit better, but what actually happened was I got to know myself a bit better. The only thing I think could have been better was having more of it. The Sermon on the Mt. is the heart of Jesus' teachings. The Dhammapada is the heart of the Buddha's teachings. If all other books from both leaders were lost, with only those two books remaining, we could follow their paths respectively.
If you are overwhelmed by all the Buddhist books 4 noble truths by D Lama 8fold path Bhikkhu Bodhi and this book the Dhammapada these 3 books will get you on the path
