At last a translation of the Dhammapada that combines academic precision in the translation of Pali terms, literary sensitivity to phrasing and meter, and a heartfelt commitment to Buddhist practice. Gil Fronsdal's version of this classic text will set a new standard for scholars and practitioners alike. --Stephen Batchelor, author of Buddhism without Beliefs and Living with the Devil The language is clear, precise, and inspiring, the phrasing spare and elegant, and the depth of these wisdom teachings apparent on every page. Gil's wonderful work brings these timeless passages of the Buddha right into our hearts. Highly recommended. --Joseph Goldstein, author of One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism The wish-fulfilling gem of clarity reveals itself; ancient teachings resonate with today's awareness. What a blessing! --Edward Espe Brown, Zen Priest, author of The Tassajara Bread Book and editor of Not Always So A fine new translation of an ancient classic. Fronsdal's balance of fidelity to the text and sensitivity to its spirit is perfect. A book to be treasured. --Carl Bielefeldt, Stanford University
