Into the book
You are your own master and you are the one who can return to and rely on yourself.
Therefore, take the reins yourself.
--- p.22
Old age and death come without rest.
Time flows equally for everyone, and no one can stop it.
--- p.58
When you love yourself, you won't feel angry and your body and mind will be healthy.
Therefore, people who are good at controlling their anger can also achieve success.
--- p.81
It is more important to quickly break free from the pressures and regrets of the past and prepare yourself for the future.
--- p.97
If you think you have done something good, continue to do it and repeat it.
The energy you feel when doing good deeds will later bring you great fruition and joy.
--- p.106
The truth of the world is clear.
Words and actions are always followed by consequences.
If you do good deeds, happiness will come, and if you do bad deeds, suffering will come.
--- p.113
You can even touch poison with hands that are not injured.
If one has not been hurt, there is no reason to be poisoned, and so, a person who has not committed evil deeds will not suffer any painful retribution wherever he or she may be.
--- p.120
Don't say bad things to others.
Harsh words come back to me.
In the same way, evil words come back to you in a circle, bringing you pain.
--- p.134
Don't look at other people's mistakes or faults.
Don't even judge whether something is 'good' or 'bad'.
Look only at your own actions, and act with a clear distinction between good and evil.
--- p.145
Do not take to heart either love or hate.
It is painful to not be able to keep what you love, and it is also painful to keep what you hate.
--- p.153
Just as the night is long for a sleepless person and the road is long for a weary traveler, so the night road of life and death is long and distant for a foolish person who does not know the Dharma.
--- p.178
The long journey of life and death is over.
O Arhat, sorrow and suffering have ended, and all bonds have been freed, I have come to know that there is not the slightest suffering in this mind.
--- p.193
I am the most precious being in this world, if I truly love myself, I will love myself even once in three times.
You must stay awake and protect yourself.
--- p.214
If a person only eats and sleeps, gains weight, and spends all his time lazily, that foolish person will be no different from the dirty pigs in us, endlessly going back and forth in the womb and reincarnating.
--- p.234
A virtuous person who does not harm any living being and controls his body without any gaps can reach the immortal nirvana, where there can be no suffering.
--- p.302
A person who harms life cannot be called a saint. A virtuous person who has great compassion for all living beings and does not kill is called a saint.
--- p.321
To conquer oneself is a true victory, brighter than to conquer anyone else. He who has defeated himself and surrendered to himself will finally become the master of all things.
Therefore, take the reins yourself.
--- p.22

Publisher's Review
[Author's Note]
In the name of Buddha, the 『Dhammapada』 is published. The 『Dhammapada』 is known to be the oldest of the Tripitaka Koreana.
The original name is 'Dhammapada'.
‘Pada’, meaning word, was added to ‘Dhamma’, which means law or truth.
That is, it means ‘words containing truth.’
Initially, these sutras were known to have been widely taught by the Buddha to the public in Pali, a secularized version of the ancient language Sanskrit, and they convey the sermons to the public in their original and accurate form.
Especially in Southern Buddhism, such as Myanmar, Cambodia, and Ceylon, where Theravada Buddhism exists, this 『Dhammapada』 is recognized as the state of enlightenment.
In the mid-19th century, Danish scholar Fauswel called the Dhammapada the “Bible of the East.”
Afterwards, the original text was published and translated into English, German, and French, and published in the United States, Europe, and around the world.
So to speak, the Dhammapada has become the most widely read Buddhist scripture along with the Bible.
It has been published quite a bit in our country as well.
However, every time I read a published book, I had a lot of trouble understanding it because it was difficult to convey the meaning between the original language and Korean.
This is because the unique meaning of the scriptures and the unique characteristics of Hangul each have different meanings.
In fact, the sutras were not written for academic study, but rather as teachings for the common people to read, practice, and personally understand the Buddha's will.
Therefore, the excessive difficulty of the scriptures can easily become a burden to the public when reading them.
To overcome these difficulties and make it easier for ordinary Buddhists to understand the sutras, we have provided brief titles and brief explanations.
It is for Buddhists to read and easily understand.
Books are made to be read.
A book full of difficult sentences is of no help.
The Dhammapada is a collection of proverbs consisting of 423 poems.
The 『Dhammapada』 was also abridged into 26 chapters based on its subject matter, containing only 8 chapters and 140 proverbs, each of which touches our hearts and moistens our minds.
In fact, when you read the 『Dhammapada』, each and every one of its contents is filled with an infinite flow of teachings that awaken our sleeping souls.
The more I read, the more my heart is moved, and the power of that 'enlightenment' is absolute.
This book is based on the original text, the Dhammapada Sutra, and has been translated into modern English. The Dhammapada Sutra is one of the most widely read Buddhist scriptures in the world, but it contains many passages that are difficult for the average Buddhist to understand. Therefore, brief commentary has been included to make it easier to understand.
It is a time when the fragrance melts and flows.
The sound of the fire bells is breaking the dawn with the sound of the wind.
Standing between the rocks and looking at the distant mountains, it seems as if an incarnation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is walking into the deep morning sun.
The waves are crashing in.
It is the sound of all dharmas.
