Trembling and quivering is the mind, Difficult to guard and hard to restrain. The person of wisdom sets it straight, As a fletcher does an arrow. The Dhammapada

For 2,500 years, The Dhammapada has been an essential Buddhist classic. Translated by Ananda Maitreya, the 100-year-old elder of Sri Lankan Buddhism.

Of all the Buddhist writings, the Dhammapada--known for its accessibility--is perhaps the best primer of teachings on the dhamma, or moral path of life. Cleary
