To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"O Pundari, there is no burning greater than desire; no joy like unto the destruction of the body! Even as the white stork standing alone beside the dried-up lily-pool, so shall those be whose youth passes from them in the fierce heat of foolish passion; and when the great change shall come, they will surely be born again unto foolishness and tears. "Those only who have found delight in the wilder- ness where others behold horror; those who have extinguished all longings; those self-made passio...n- less by meditation on life and death — only such do attain to happiness, and, preventing the second birth, enter into the blessedness of Nirvana.". . . And the bayadere, cutting off her hair, and cast- ing from her all gifts of trinkets and jewels, aban- doned everything to enter the Five Paths. And the Devas, rejoicing, made radiant the mountains above the white city, and filled the air with a rain of strange flowers. And whosoever would know more of Buddha, let him read the marvelous book "Fah- Kheu-King," — the Book "Dhammapada." Digitized by VjOOQIC YAMARAJA The Legend Maggavago; or, "The Way" — which is in the marvelous book of the " Dhammapada.".
