I read the Dhammapada a book titled The Wisdom of China and India, when I was 16. Had no knowledge of Buddhism until that night. After I read it, I sat on the roof at 3 a.m. and watch the North Star. It changed me forever. Later I took zazen instructions from Kobun Chino and joined Haiku Zendo in Los Altos (where Suzuki Roshi started a small sitting group). “All that we are is a result of what we have thought.”

Thank you 🙏

Yes, the Dhammapada has long been revered, an indication of the rise of interest in the Dharma. I have a copy of a Dhammapada translated into Yiddish(!) published in 1958 … iconic for us Bujews. :-) I'll send you photos to your FaceBook messenger.
