El texto cumbre del canon budista y una obra de referencia milenaria en el ámbito de l. a. ética universal.
«Así como los angeles lluvia atraviesa una casa con techo deteriorado, así también las pasiones atravesarán una mente desprotegida.»
El Dhammapada, considerado como el texto cumbre del canon budista, consta de 423 versos en lengua pali, clasificados en veintiséis capítulos. Con una antigüedad de cerca de dos mil trescientos años, ocupa un lugar eminente en los angeles vida de los practicantes del budismo y también en el ámbito de l. a. ética common, puesto que recomienda los angeles vida pacífica y no violenta, y afirma que l. a. enemistad no puede ser vencida con los angeles aversión, sino con los angeles bondad.
La versión de Juan Mascaró, canónica desde hace décadas y vertida aquí del inglés al castellano por Carlos Manzano, se complementa con su valiosa introducción, que nos acerca al que es considerado el texto fundacional del budismo. El magnífico texto castellano se presenta en esta edición enfrentado al unique pali, para gusto de expertos y profanos.
Rabindranath Tagore dijo...
«Si en los angeles Bhagavad Gita se ha dotado al pensamiento indio de una nítida envoltura religiosa, en los textos del Dhammapada lo que trasluce es el retrato conceptual y estructural de l. a. India.»

Or tears, which Love and Pity shed That mourn beneath the gliding sail! 7. 25 Yet lives there one, whose heedless eye Shall scorn thy pale shrine glimmering near? With him, sweet bard, may Fancy die, And Joy desert the blooming year. 8. But thou, lorn stream, whose sullen tide 30 No sedge-crowned Sisters now attend, [] [] Now waft me from the green hill’s side Whose cold turf hides the buried friend! 9. And see, the fairy valleys fade, [] Dun Night has veiled the solemn view!
I showed her there the songs of one [] Who done to death by pride 35 Though Virtue’s friend, and Fancy’s son In love unpitied died I hoped when to that shepherd’s truth Her pity should attend She would not leave another youth 40 To meet his luckless end. 6. Now tell me you who hear me sing And prompt the tender theme How far is Lavant’s little spring From Medway’s mightier stream! 45 [] [] Confined within my native dells 64 The world I little know But in some tufted mead she dwells Where’er those waters flow.
With eyes up-raised, as one inspired, Pale Melancholy sat retired, And from her wild sequestered seat, 60 In notes by distance made more sweet, Poured through the mellow horn her pensive soul : And dashing soft from rocks around, Bubbling runnels joined the sound; Through glades and glooms the mingled measure stole, 65 Or o’er some haunted stream with fond delay, Round an holy calm diffusing, Love of peace, and lonely musing, In hollow murmurs died away. But O how altered was its sprightlier tone!
