Description
Here is a beguiling collection of 13 Buddhist stories from India, China, Japan, and Tibet for children ages six and up. Sherab Chodzin, who has been teaching meditation since 1973, was a student and friend of Chogyam Trungpa. He and his daughter have gathered together a deft mix of tales that can be used to teach Buddhism and to honor its special wisdom. The alluring illustrations by Marie Cameron transport us to strange but compelling worlds of the Far East.
The Barefoot Book of Buddhist Tales contains stories about the benefits of kindness and generosity; the dangerous paths of the ego and selfishness; the impermanence of life; the freedom that comes with letting go of things, ideas, and people; the difficulties of practicing silence; and the nature of true wealth.
