The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Dhammapada and The Sutta-Nipata (1881) is Volume X of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book focuses on Buddhism, and contains its foundational texts, The Dhammapada, translated by F. Max Müller, and The Sutta-Nipata (1881), translated by Viggo Fausböll. These texts cover a variety of topics ranging from blessings to sensual pleasures. This text is a valuable addition to the personal library of scholars and of those interested in Buddhism.
