"The Buddha and the Elder Sisters" E-Book design, layout and artwork

New verse translations of the Buddha’s words from Dhammapada – the path to the truth – compiled by his followers soon after his death.

Using striking, fresh and beautiful images it gives us great insight into his ideas and personality. Combined with this are verses from Therigatha - Songs of the Elder Sisters - written by nuns who gave up home and family in later life to live in the Buddha’s community.
