The Still Point Dhammapada: Living the Buddha's ...

The Dhammapada is much loved by Buddhist practitioners as a simple and straightforward rendition of the Buddha's wisdom, and is read daily by thousands of people. In studying various versions of this sacred text, Larkin was inspired to bring this ancient text alive and reveal its contemporary relevance. She embarked upon a new translation, introducing each installment at the Still Point Zen Buddhist Temple in Detroit, where she is the Guiding Teacher. Each verse is introduced with a story from the Abbey and Temple. Drawn from life in the inner city, these stories of the Buddha in the world show this ancient classic's continuing relevance and universal appeal.This inspiring edition will not only appeal to Buddhists, but also to readers of all faiths who embrace lovingly, beautifully rendered sacred texts a la Stephen Mitchell's Tao Te Ching.
