A social Enterprise Project. The Jatakas, or birth-stories, form
one of Buddhism's sacred books. They relate the adventures of the
Buddha in his former existences. Carved railings around the relic
shrines of Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh and Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh
indicate that the birth-stories were widely known in the third
century B.C. The Jataka Tales contain deep truths, and are
calculated to impress lessons of great moral beauty. The tale of
the Merchant of Seri, who gave up all that he had in exchange for a
golden dish, embodies much the same idea as the New Testament's
parable of the priceless pearl. The tale of the Measures of Rice
illustrates the importance of a true estimate of values. The tale
of the Banyan Deer, which offered its life to save a roe and her
young, illustrates self-sacrifice of the noblest sort. The tale of
the Sandy Road is one of the finest in the collection. While some
of the stories are based in Buddhist ideology, many are age-old
fables, the flotsam and jetsam of folk-lore that have appeared
under various guises throughout the centuries. At times they have
been used merely as merry tales, and at other times they're used as
literature, as by Chaucer, who unwittingly puts a Jataka story into
the mouth of his Pardoner when he tells the tale of "the Ryotoures
three." Captivate yourself with the charm of these 18 Jataka Tales.
Let their quaint humour and gentle earnestness teach you the
wholesome lessons of the Buddhist ideology, among them the duty of
kindness to animals. 33% of the profit from the sale of this book
will be donated to organisations that specialise in educational
scholarships.
