Book Description
All living creatures die to be born again, so the Hindus believe. The Buddha was no exception. Legend has it that several lifetimes as a Bodhisattva went into the making of the Buddha, the Enlightened one.
The Bodhisattva came in many forms -man, monkey, deer, elephant. Whatever his mortal body, he spread the message of justice and wisdom, tempered with compassion. This wisdom, the wisdom of right thinking and right living, is preserved in the Jataka tales.
India has been called the story - teller of the 'world. It is her particular glory to have told the world story after entertaining story that illustrates the precepts of righteous living.
Amar Chitra Katha has already brought to the reader Jataka monkey stories and Jataka deer stories. In this issue we bring you elephant tales' that will teach some of the truths that the Bodhisattva experienced in his numerous lives on earth.
