dhammapada- PRACTICAL HINTS TOWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIFE.

Dhammapada is composed by Buddha HIMSELF. The shlokas are baed on actual incidents in His life which occurred at different times. Even He was not spared a scandal. A woman falsely charged Him in fathering her illegitimate baby. He mentions this as a case wher a false charge recoils back; harms the wrong doer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AHIMSAA is corner stone of HIS teachings. He recommended AHIMSAA as a weapon to
overcome HIMSAA.
HE went further:
1. Overcome anger by patience. DONT ADD TO THE ANGER or beat the sngry mn.
2. Be good and ovecome the bad and persue him to mend ways.
3.Be generous and see a miser his folly.
4. With TRUTH you subdue the liar by coaxing, not pressure.
