The Dhammapada is the second book of the Khuddaka Nikaya - the minor stories –
of the Sutta Pitaka, which is the second division of the Tipitaka – the three baskets –
of sacred Buddhist scriptures spoken by the Buddha and his close disciples. All verses
here have been spoken by the Buddha in response to a particular event, which is presented in the commentary by the great commentator Bhadantacariya Buddhaghosa in the fifth century AC.
