The Dhammapada PÄ?li; Prakrit: Dhamapada; Sanskrit Dharmapada; sometimes translated into English as Path of the Dharma is a versified Buddhist scripture traditionally ascribed to the Buddha himself. It is one of the best-known texts from the Theravada canon. Its literary merits are a matter of disagreement.1 Contents 1 History 2 Organization 3 Excerpts 3.1 Ch. I. Twin Verses Yamaka-vaggo 3.2 Ch.

Pug. Kvu. Yam. Patthana view talk The Dhammapada, from the PÄ?li Tipitaka, is considered one of the most popular pieces of Theravada literature.2 According to tradition, the Dhammapada's verses were spoken by the Buddha on various occasions.3 Most verses deal with ethics.4 The text is part of the Khuddaka Nikaya of the Sutta Pitaka, although over half of the verses exist in other parts of the Pali Canon.5 A 4th or 5th century CE commentary attributed to Buddhaghosa includes 305 stories which give context to the verses. Although the PÄ?li ion is the best-known, a number of other versions are known:6 a Dharmaguptaka version in Gandhari written in Kharosthi script7 sections of a Lokottaravada version a Sammatiya version in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, known as the Patna Dharmapada8 a seemingly related Mula-Sarvastivada text known as the UdÄ?navarga9 in 3 Sanskrit versions a Tibetan translation, which is popular in traditional Tibetan Buddhism 4 Chinese works entitled Fajiu jing; one of these appears to be an expanded translation of the Pali version; this has not traditionally been very popular. Comparing the Pali Dhammapada, the Gandhari Dharmapada and the Udanavarga, Brough 2001 identifies that the texts have in common 330 to 340 verses, 16 chapter headings and an underlying structure. He suggests that the three texts have a common ancestor but underlines that there is no evidence that any one of these three texts might have been the primitive Dharmapada from which the other two evolved.10 Organization The Pali Dhammapada contains 423 verses in 26 chapters listed below in English and, in parentheses, Pali.111213 I.

The Pali text is from the Sri Lanka Tripitaka Project SLTP ion.12 Ch. I. Twin Verses Yamaka-vaggo 1. All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage. Manopubbaá¹…gamÄ? dhammÄ? manoseá¹á¹hÄ? manomayÄ? ManasÄ? ce paduá¹á¹hena bhÄ?sati vÄ? karoti vÄ? Tato naṃ dukkhamanveti cakkaṃ'va vahato padaṃ. 2. All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. Manopubbaá¹…gamÄ? dhammÄ? manoseá¹á¹hÄ? manomayÄ? ManasÄ? ce pasannena bhÄ?sati vÄ? karoti vÄ? Tato naṃ sukhamanveti chÄ?yÄ?'va anapÄ?yinÄ«. 5. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule. Na hi verena verÄ?ni sammantÄ«dha kudÄ?canaṃ Averena ca sammanti esa dhammo sanantano. Ch. X. Punishment Daṇá¸?a-vaggo 131. He who seeking his own happiness punishes or kills beings who also long for happiness, will not find happiness after death. SukhakÄ?mÄ?ni bhÅ«tÄ?ni yodaṇá¸?ena vihiṃsati Attano sukhamesÄ?no pecca so na labhate sukhaṃ. 132. He who seeking his own happiness does not punish or kill beings who also long for happiness, will find happiness after death. SukhakÄ?mÄ?ni bhÅ«tÄ?ni yodaṇá¸?ena na hiṃsati Attano sukhamesÄ?no pecca so labhate sukhaṃ. 133. Do not speak harshly to anybody; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful, blows for blows will touch thee. MÄ?'voca pharusaṃ kañci vuttÄ? paá¹ivadeyyu taṃ DukkhÄ? hi sÄ?rambhakathÄ? paá¹idaṇá¸?Ä? phuseyyu taṃ. Ch. XIV: The Buddha The Awakened Buddha-vaggo 183. Not to commit any sin, to do good, and to purify one's mind, that is the teaching of all the Awakened. SabbapÄ?passa akaraṇaṃ kusalassa upasampadÄ? Sacittapariyodapanaṃ etaṃ buddhÄ?na sÄ?sanaṃ. Ch. XX: The Way Magga-vaggo 276. You yourself must make an effort. The Tathagatas Buddhas are only preachers. The thoughtful who enter the way are freed from the bondage of Mara. Tumhehi kiccaṃ Ä?tappaṃ akkhÄ?tÄ?ro tathÄ?gatÄ? Paá¹ipannÄ? pamokkhanti jhÄ?yino mÄ?rabandhanÄ?. 277. 'All created things perish,' he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain; this is the way to purity. Sabbe saá¹…khÄ?rÄ? aniccÄ?'ti yadÄ? paññÄ?ya passati Atha nibbindati dukkhe esa maggo visuddhiyÄ?. 278. 'All created things are grief and pain,' he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain; this is the way that leads to purity. Sabbe saá¹…khÄ?rÄ? dukkhÄ?'ti yadÄ? paññÄ?ya passati Atha nibbindati dukkhe esa maggo visuddhiyÄ?. 279. 'All forms are unreal,' he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain; this is the way that leads to purity. Sabbe dhammÄ? anattÄ?'ti yadÄ? paññÄ?ya passati Atha nibbindati dukkhe esa maggo visuddhiyÄ?. Ch. XXIV: Thirst TaṇhÄ?-vaggo 343. Men, driven on by thirst, run about like a snared hare; let therefore the mendicant drive out thirst, by striving after passionlessness for himself. TasiṇÄ?ya purakkhatÄ? pajÄ? parisappanti saso'va bÄ?dhito TasmÄ? tasiṇaṃ vinodaye bhikkhu Ä?kaá¹…khÄ« virÄ?gamattano. 350. If a man delights in quieting doubts, and, always reflecting, dwells on what is not delightful the impurity of the body, c., he certainly will remove, nay, he will cut the fetter of Mara. Vitakkupasame ca yo rato asubhaṃ bhÄ?vayati sadÄ? sato Esa kho vyantikÄ?hiti esa checchati mÄ?rabandhanaṃ. English translations Tr F. Max Müller, in Buddhist Parables, by E. W.

Notes ^ Buddhist Studies Review, 6, 2, 1989, page 153, reprinted in Norman, Collected Papers, volume VI, 1996, Pali Text Society, Bristol, page 156 ^ See, for instance, Buswell 2003: ranks among the best known Buddhist texts p. 11; and, one of the most popular texts with Buddhist monks and laypersons p. 627. Harvey 2007, p. 322, writes: Its popularity is reflected in the many times it has been translated into Western languages; Brough 2001, p. xvii, writes: The collection of Pali ethical verses entitled Dhammapada is one of the most widely known of early Buddhist texts. ^ Pertinent episodes allegedly involving the historic Buddha are found in the commentary Buddharakkhita Bodhi, 1985, p. 4. In addition, a number of the Dhammapada's verses are identical with text from other parts of the Pali tipitaka that are directly attributed to the Buddha in the latter texts. For instance, Dhammapada verses 3, 5, 6, 328-330 can also be found in MN 128 ÑÄ?ṇamoli Bodhi, 2001, pp. 1009-1010, 1339 n. 1187. ^ Harvey 2007, p. 322, line v.b., refers to the Dhammapada as a popular collection of 423 pithy verses of a largely ethical nature. Similarly, Brough 2001's preface p. xvii starts: The collection of Pali ethical verses entitled Dhammapada is one of the most widely known of early Buddhist texts. ^ Geiger 2004, p. 19, para. 11.2 writes: More than half the verses may be found also in other canonical texts. The compiler of the Dhammapada however certainly did not depend solely on these canonical texts but also made use of the great mass of pithy sayings which formed a vast floating literature in India. In a similar vein, Hinüber 2000, p. 45, para. 90 remarks: The contents of the Dhammapada are mainly gnomic verses, many of which have hardly any relation to Buddhism. ^ Buddhist Studies Review, 6, 2, 1989, page 153, reprinted in Norman, Collected Papers, volume VI, 1996, Pali Text Society, Bristol, page 156 ^ Brough 2001. The original manuscript is believed to have been written in the first or second century CE. ^ See, e.g., Cone 1989. ^ Hinüber 2000, p. 45, para. 89, notes: More than half of the Dhammapada verses have parallels in corresponding collections in other Buddhist schools, frequently also in non-Buddhist texts. The interrelation of these different versions has been obscured by constant contamination in the course of the text transmission. This is particularly true in case of one of the Buddhist Sanskrit parallels. The UdÄ?navarga originally was a text corresponding to the PÄ?li UdÄ?na.... By adding verses from the Dhp Dhammapada it was transformed into a Dhp parallel in course of time, which is a rare event in the evolution of Buddhist literature. ^ Brough 2001, pp. 23-30. After considering the hypothesis that these texts might lack a common ancestor, Brough 2001, p. 27, conjectures: On the evidence of the texts themselves it is much more likely that the schools, in some manner or other, had inherited from the period before the schisms which separated them, a definite tradition of a Dharmapada-text which ought to be included in the canon, however fluctuating the contents of this text might have been, and however imprecise the concept even of a 'canon' at such an early period. The differing developments and rearrangements of the inherited material would have proceeded along similar lines to those which, in the Brahmanical schools, produced divergent but related collections of texts in the different Yajur-veda traditions. He then continues: ... When only the common material is considered, a comparison of the Pali Dhammapada, the Gandhari text, and the Udanavarga, has produced no evidence whatsoever that any one of these has any superior claim to represent a 'primitive Dharmapada' more faithfully than the others. Since the contrary appears to have been assumed from time to time, it is desirable to say with emphasis that the Pali text is not the primitive Dharmapada. The assumption that it was would make its relationship to the other texts altogether incomprehensible. ^ English chapter titles based on Müller 1881. ^ a b Pali retrieved 2008-03-28 from Bodhgaya News formerly, La Trobe U. starting at http://www.bodhgayanews.net/tipitaka.php?title=record=7150, and from MettaNet - Lanka at http://www.mettanet.org/tipitaka/2Sutta-Pitaka/5Khuddaka-Nikaya/02Dhammapada/index.html. ^ Brough 2001 orders the chapters of the Gandhari Dharmapada as follows: I.
