Book review
All living creatures die to be born again, so the Hindus believe. The Buddha was no exception. Legend has it that several lifetimes as a Bodhisattva went into the making of the Buddha, the Enlightened One.
The Bodhisattva came in many forms – man, monkey, deer, elephant. Whatever his mortal body, he spread the message of justice and wisdom, tempered with compassion. This wisdom – the wisdom of right thinking and right living – is preserved in the Jataka tales.
The Jataka tales, retold in this selection, will keep you amused while they show you how good ultimately triumphs over evil.
