Christopher Carter Sanderson's uniquely poetic and practical translation of The Dhammapada. Sanderson, working from Pali and Sanskrit sources, aims to artistically transmit the essence of Buddha's sayings in a form useful for meditation. Freely cast in a flexible, idiomatic and often catchy iambic pentameter, in tone ranging as needed from the academic to the profane, these verses combine musicality with a refreshing directness. This new creative realisation joins a galaxy of inspired translations of this great work to offer additional artistic insight and religious utility.
Christopher Carter Sanderson is the author of several play adaptations, including the adapted works of Tucker Max, I Hope They Serve Beer On Broadway, and a one-act version of Alfred Jarry's UBU IS KING! His scholarly work, Gorilla Theatre, is published by Routledge. , and others have all critiqued his work since 1994. Mr. Sanderson is a dropout from Princeton High School, a Fulbright scholar, a graduate of programs at New York University and Yale University (where he is an associate fellow of Calhoun College), and a professor at the State University of New York, Oswego. He is married to Meredith Kadet Sanderson, and co-parent to Charlie, a rescued Jack Russell Terrier.
