Description
What a delightful collection of Tibetan fables and fairytales assembled by an American dharma teacher and a native Tibetan. Through these engrossing vignettes imbued with the Buddhist spirit of kindness and respect are stories and parables that serve as moral lessons that not only will stir the readers imagination but will influence their behavior. Reminiscent of the classic fairy tales with magical fairy godmothers, or moral lessons illustrated in Aesop’s fables, the stories here have similar themes but the supernatural powers relate to the Buddhist icons who originated in India and brought their teachings to Tibet.
Each of the fourteen selections is introduced by an entrancing full page pictorial summary of the story illustrated in majestic colors so compelling that the eye almost refuses to leave this spellbinding page. The stories continue to capture attention with their native settings of the revered mountains, trees, rivers, rocks, and sky. Thrill with the yaks and the horses that can fly, the mouse that advises a king, watch a snake transform into a princess and so much more. Learn lessons from the stories such as how important it is to have a good and loving friend and more of the Buddhist teachings from these enchanting tales.
