Wisdom from the Buddha
Buddha Stories is a collection of fables told by the Buddha. These stories emphasize compassion, kindness, wisdom, restraint, generosity, and humility. I especially enjoyed the story of The Turtle and the Geese. The moral of this story is that disaster can come from opening your mouth at the wrong time. Each story is accompanied by a painting in gold ink and indigo paper; in fact, the entire book is printed in gold and indigo. Though a short book designed for younger readers, adults will gain a great deal of wisdom from Buddha Stories.
