The Dhammapada is a collection of 423 verses grouped into 26 chapters. Chapters generally focus on a single topic, such as happiness, diligence, the mind, or old age. This collection is great for a one-sutta-per-day reading practice. Except for the final chapter, each one would take less than five minutes to read.
