From various Buddhist literary sources verses have been collected for this compilation. The total number of verses contained in the Dhammapada is four hundred and twenty three. They are divided into twenty-six chapters. Everlasting Buddhist ideas mixed with literary beauty are presented in this work. The Dhammapada has an invaluable merit as a book of recitation as the verses can be recited with intonation. The similes used in the Dhammapada verses are well known in the world of literature. To read Dhammapada and to be familiar with the teaching therein is a must for every Buddhist.
