A treasury of traditional Buddhist wisdom tales, illustrated with gorgeous original artwork.
The Buddhist jataka tales are simple lessons in living with honesty, wisdom, and compassion that contain the power to transform the hearts and minds of those who hear them.
They are stories of the Buddha's past lives--in such forms as a boar, a parrot, a monkey, or a peacock--that have enchanted children and adults for millennia.
Their animal characters powerfully and sometimes humorously .
