For two thousand years, the teachings of Gautama Buddha have brought peace and harmony to the lives of countless people. Speaking at a time when people wanted change, he broke existing traditions and offered truths he had discovered for himself.

The teachings he imparted to his disciples were gathered together to form the Dhammapada, or Way of Truth. Here, Buddha`s Dhammapada is presented in a form that makes it easy to use as a meditational tool. This kit not only includes beautifully illustrated cards inscribed with the Buddha`s wisdom, but also an illuminating guidebook to help provide deeper understanding of the Buddha`s words and intent.
