The Dhammapada by Anonymous

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An intriguing introduction.

Elements of patriarchy, a male-dominated philosophy, are evident. Abstract concepts such as rebirth, heaven, hell, and the various gods mentioned have no obvious synthesis within, and originate from ancient Hinduism, perhaps. An emphasis on letting go of desires, on a passionless life.

A poetic style, an easy read, appreciable by initiates into the eightfold path…
