The Sutta-Nipata

by Hammalawa Saddhatissa

This is one of the oldest collections of Buddhist discourses in the Pali canon; by far one of the most popular as well as the most important. Written in a mixture of prose and verse, it presents a code of conduct and provides the basis for a system of moral philosophy. A prime source work.

Giving 5 stars because it feels tacky to give a star rating to a fundamental text of a religion. It’s poetry. It’s ancient. It has flaws, but who doesn’t?
