Book Reviews of The Dhammapada: Verses on the Way (Modern Library Classics)
Book Review: The best Dhammapada
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read at least a dozen versions of the Dhammapada over the last twenty years. So, when I first saw this one by Glenn Wallis, I was skeptical that it would make much of an impression on me. I was wrong. When I put my versions side by side, Wallis's translation made many of the others look simplistic, shallow, careless, or downright wrong. Since I don't know Pali or Sanskrit, I can't be certain, but Wallis inspires confidence in his Dhammapada by providing explanations and reasons for his choices. His Guide to Reading the Text brings out meanings and nuances that the other translations don't. Looking back, I realize that I never really understood the Dhammapada before. With Wallis's book, I feel like I have a basis now for doing so.
