Buddhist Stories from the Dhammapada Commentary: Part II , translated from the Pali by E.W. Burlingame, selected and revised by Bhikkhu Khantipalo (2006; 32pp./96KB)
In the fifth century the great Pali scholar-monk Buddhaghosa wrote an extensive commentary to the much-beloved Dhammapada . His commentary provides background stories that set the stage for each brief verse, giving them an expansive context that greatly enriches their meaning. The present booklet is the second in a four-part anthology. (Additional volumes will appear on Access to Insight later in 2006.)
