The poetic verses of the Buddha known as the Dhammapada encapsulate the whole of the dharma.  To quote Bikkhu Bodhi it “has been regarded as the most succinct expression of the Buddha's teaching found in the Pali canon . . .  a guidebook for resolving the countless problems of everyday life”.  If you asked a Buddhist what one book they would want if stranded on a desert island it would likely be the Dhammapada.  It is a appropriate for any level of practice and a wonderful way of studying the Dharma and integrating the dharma into our daily lives.
