Description
Sarah Conover's collection of traditional Buddhist tales leads us to the kind of implicit understanding of ourselves and others that only stories can provide. Following the Buddha through his various transformations, these clarified and often humorous narrative journeys open the ancient master's profound and gentle teachings to persons of all ages, religions, races, and ideological persuasions. Over and over, this marvelous book tells us, "Let go of your anger, your fear, your greedy desire. Embrace gladness. Follow the path." The stories form a wondrous pageant of elephants, monkeys, monks, and men working through foolishness toward wisdom and delight. Sara Conover teaches high school language arts in Spokane, Washington. She has produced numerous award-winning documentaries for PBS, the Discovery Channel, and the United Nations.
