Review: This little book can be powerful - I purchased a copy years ago on a whim, when my life was very busy. I did not know what I was looking for. This simple introduction to the Dhammapada was exactly what I needed. I read every page, loved the artwork, and eventually found a temple and teachers who gave me a framework of belief. I know that few people will have such a profound reaction, but it is a beautiful book filled with the teachings of the Buddha in easily digested sections. It’s a lovely book and makes a great gift for anyone curious about Buddhism or interested in Buddhist art. Review: I saw this beautiful little book in a chic boutique and fell in ... - I saw this beautiful little book in a chic boutique and fell in love. I quickly searched for it on desertcart, and was delighted to find it at a much cheaper price, as usual. I wanted the book mostly for aesthetic purposes. It is so pretty and a perfect addition to my coffee table as my living room decor has a lot of red and earthy tones with an asian flair. However, it turns out the books is actually quite pleasant to read. It's perfect to pick up and flip through when I have a moment to reflect on some thoughtful quotes from Buddha. A buyer should be aware of the book's size. It's quite small. Just make sure you read the dimensions before purchasing. I wish it came in a heftier, large coffee table book size. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #751,928 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #335 in Buddhist Sacred Writings (Books) #5,757 in Inspirational Spirituality (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 89 Reviews | ## Images ![The Way of the Buddha: The Illustrated Dhammapada - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c4OWwP2SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This little book can be powerful *by N***L on April 29, 2025* I purchased a copy years ago on a whim, when my life was very busy.

It is a classic of words and art.
