Review: Very good despite very misleading 'review' - The reviews of these authors' version of the Dhammapada on desertcart have got very jumbled up. The desertcart review provided under 'Product Information' at the beginning of the page about the short Oxford World's Classics edition is very misleading. It states: "Carter and Palihawadana have not only proivde [sic] a fresh English translation of the Pali but a transliteration of the Dhammapada" This is NOT true - there is no transliteration of the Pali text in that particular edition. The fuller edition, of over 500 pages, does have a transliteration of the Pali text. To add to the confusion, my review, which you are reading now, has been attached by desertcart to the shorter OUP edition AND the full edition with transliteration.
Review: Buddhism in a nutshell - All the teachings of all the introductions to Buddhism are in here, and more, but instead of academic sentences, you get memorable stansas. Its directness and conciseness make it a much more effective tool. Read together with the helpful notes, a complete novice to Buddhism would have a very good idea what it was all about from reading this text alone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good despite very misleading 'review'
*by D***R on 6 September 2011*

The reviews of these authors' version of the Dhammapada on Amazon have got very jumbled up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buddhism in a nutshell
*by G***N on 18 October 2007*

All the teachings of all the introductions to Buddhism are in here, and more, but instead of academic sentences, you get memorable stansas. Its directness and conciseness make it a much more effective tool. Read together with the helpful notes, a complete novice to Buddhism would have a very good idea what it was all about from reading this text alone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine translation
*by R***N on 15 December 2002*

I have previously read classic Max Muller's version, Mascaros poetic version and some translations foud at numerous web-pages. I think this is clearly the best of them. Carter and Palihawadana have retained texts lyric style but still their ambition is to bring autentic text as such to us. Hence reader have to use glossary where most importánt words and referensees are. I may be a bit annoying but If you really want know exactly what what is in original dhammapada you has to use such method. Some at web "intreprete" too much, then the text may look easier but It may go also wrong. Only negative comment is that people to which english is not native language, text may have too mamy many fine but unfamiliar words. I recommend this book. It is one of the classics of Worlds religious teachings.
