In The Dhammapada, Easwaran now embarks on a similar voyage of peace and calmin the exploration of Buddhism, as he did with the Upanishads. The introductionof the book once again gives a brief background into the life of Siddhartha theprince, and charts his transformation into the Buddha, the "one who isawake". The book then goes on to describe one of the fundamental"religious-books" of Buddhism, the Dhammapada and its teachings. Theparallels with the Upanishadic teachings, the mystic Sufis and the Sermon onthe Mount is often illustrated, thus underlining Easwaran's belief of the unityof fundamental thought across religions.

Every two chapters are preceded with an introduction to the concepts andprinciples enshrined in them, and hence makes reading and comprehension andindeed, personal thinking and evaluation that much more effective. Buddhism inthe end, comes out as it should, another monumental religion based on verybasic truths and grounded in infallible and extremely rigorous logic. The bookis a pure delight to read and has an almost immediate impact on the reader'sapproach to life itself.
