“The language is clear, precise, and inspiring, the phrasing spare and elegant, and the depth of these wisdom teachings apparent on every page. Highly recommended.”—Joseph Goldstein, author of One Dharma
“I have read many translations in several languages, but never have I come across one so crisp, precise, and lucid as this.”—Bhante Gunaratana, Bhāvanā Society
“A fine new translation of an ancient classic. Fronsdal’s balance of fidelity to the text and sensitivity to its spirit is perfect. A book to be treasured.”—Carl Bielefeldt, Stanford University
“Fronsdal brings to bear his considerable experience both as a scholar and a practitioner. His intimacy with the text is obvious: the verses ring out clearly on the first read, communicating their meaning with precision and poetic sensitivity.”—Tricycle
