About this app

The Dhammapada - The Buddha's Path of Wisdom
translated from the Pali by Acharya Buddharakkhita

The Dhammapada is the best known and most widely esteemed text in the Pali Tipitaka, the sacred scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. The work is included in the Khuddaka Nikaya ("Minor Collection") of the Sutta Pitaka, but its popularity has raised it far above the single niche it occupies in the scriptures to the ranks of a world religious classic. Composed in the ancient Pali language, this slim anthology of verses constitutes a perfect compendium of the Buddha's teaching, comprising between its covers all the essential principles elaborated at length in the forty-odd volumes of the Pali canon.

Ratings and reviews

I've recently gotten into looking into buddhism and buddhist thought and have really enjoyed this app. It brings both the actual version and the English version together. The interface is simple and easy to use and if a saying sticks out to you you have the ability to favorite it. Even if you are not a practitioner, this is a wonderful introduction to the sayings of the Buddha. Thank you for creating this app!

Excellent Collection! Anytime, anywhere with phone access, we are able to have wisdom at the swipe of a screen. A pocket full of centuries of knowledge, readily and conveniently available at a moments notice.

Settings -> continual speech (tick the box). Now press the speech 💬 bubble at the top of the screen when you want to hear it read out to you. Great app, no ads, low space, brilliant.
