A well narrated piece of art.

A well narrated piece of art that helps me get in some of the teachings of the Dhamma on days that I have little time to focus on it.

Beautiful translation of the Dhammapada which caters to a western audience

This is a wonderful reading and translation of the Dhammapada. I would recommend this to anyone with a basic understanding of buddhism and wants to dive a little deeper in their understanding of theory and practice.
