Description

Kindness is packed with excellent tales that will surprise and delight readers while introducing them to the diversity of religious traditions. John Green, Booklist

Following the Buddha through his various transformations, these clarified, often humorous narrative journeys open the ancient masters' profound and gentle teachings to persons of all ages, religions, races, and ideological persuasions. Over and over this marvellous book tells us, "let go of your anger, your fear, your greedy desire. Embrace gladness. Follow the path."

And the stories themselves, simply as stories, form a wondrous pageant of elephants, monkeys, monks, and men working through foolishness toward wisdom and delight. This collection of traditional Buddhist tales leads us to the kind of implicit understanding of ourselves and others that only stories can provide.
