“Where so many fables cheer the cleverest trickster, these cheer the kindest choice. They make a fitting Buddha Purnima gift, and a gentle habit for ordinary school nights.”
Long before he became the Buddha, he lived many lives.
The Jataka Tales is an illustrated collection of 25 ancient fables about the Buddha's earlier lives, as animals and as people.
In each tale, the Buddha-to-be is born into a new life. Each time, he chooses kindness and courage, the way of the Bodhisatta. Talking animals, gods and brave humans fill the stories, which carry lessons in honesty, perseverance and compassion.
