In Reply to: So many editions of the Dhammapada!!! posted by Camilla on June 2, 2005 at 5:08 am:

I have the translation by John Ross Carter and Mahinda Palihawadana.
It's from a series of books called "Sacred Writings" and there are books on Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. I've only looked at the Buddhism one, which is the Dhammapada. This translation was recommended to me by a teacher of a Japanese Buddhism class I took in school. She was a Shingon priest.
I think this translation is easy to understand and I like reading the commentary. Also, it has the lines not only in English but in Pali (not in Pali script but in romanized Pali).
