Book review
The Hindus believe that all living beings die to be born again. 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, of right thinking and right living, is preserved in the Jataka Tales.
Contents
The Giant and the Dwarf
The Mouse Merchant
Jataka Tales: The Magic Chant
Jataka Tales: Tales of Misers
The Priceless Gem
