Theravada

The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings in verse form, traditionally attributed to the Buddha,, and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. It is a text of great practical importance in the Theravada system, learnt by heart both by novices and by the bhikkhus who go to practice meditation in solitude. The Dhammapada is probably the most famous of the texts that make up The Tipitaka. »
