Buddha’s Way of Virtue is a book by W. D. C. Wagiswara and K. J. Saunders, first published in 1912. It offers an English rendering of the Dhammapada, one of the most revered texts in Buddhist scripture, composed of concise verses expressing the ethical and philosophical teachings of the Buddha. The translators bring both scholarly insight and spiritual sensitivity to their interpretation, aiming to preserve the clarity and rhythm of the original Pali while making it accessible to a Western audience. The book also includes valuable contextual commentary that situates the teachings within both their historical and spiritual framework, offering readers a window into the moral path at the heart of early Buddhism. It remains a foundational work for those interested in Buddhist thought, comparative religion, and spiritual ethics.
