Ceylon & Sri Lanka Stamps Banknotes Coins, Dhammapada (1)

Collection of Stamps for Sri Lanka (& Ceylon before 1972). Collectors items related to Dhammapada.



The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures.



A Buddhist scholar and commentator explains that each saying recorded in the collection was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community. The translation of the commentary, the Dhammapada Atthakatha, presents the details of these events and is a rich source of legend for the life and times of the Buddha
