Synopsis: One of the oldest collections of Buddhist discourses in the Pali Canon, constituting a rational, straightforward presentation of the ethics and psychology of Buddhism.
This popular work is written in a mixture of prose and verse. It presents a code of conduct and provides the basis for a system of moral philosophy. Saddhatissa has here produced a prose version of the Sutta Nipata which conveys the spirit of this important text in contemporary language, and is presented for the consideration of imaginative readers not inhibited by traditional interpretations. Thus it is hoped to stand the test of time more effectively than its predecessors. |
