Buddhism is a path that leads to ever-greater freedom. This book brings together ten carefully-chosen and beautifully-told true stories, each one showing us how we can find more freedom in our own lives. Vessantara’s commentary draws deeper meanings from the stories, and gives many insights into how we can break out of our self-created prisons, and roam free.
The stories draw on several Buddhist traditions as well as contemporary events. So, as well as the serene figure of the Buddha, you will meet a rich cast of characters, including a lone sailor, a guilt-racked king, an awakened woman wanderer, a group of murderers, unconventional tantric yogis, a mysterious hag, a condemned thief, fearless Zen masters, a drunken samurai and a very large tiger...
This is a new and slightly revised edition of this popular book that was first published in 2000.
Review
A clear-sighted, lucid, and immensely enjoyable journey through Buddhist teachings which will be of enormous benefit to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. I loved this book. Mick Brown, author of ‘The Spiritual Tourist’.

This book retells major stories from the Buddhist scriptures and then discusses the lessons they teach and their applicability to modern life. The stories alone would make the book riveting: the young mother who came to the Buddha seeking "medicine" to cure her dead child; the king who starved his father to death and came to confess his act; the monk who sacrificed himself, on a moment's dramatic impulse, to save a condemned thief; the group of Buddha's disciples who were framed for murder and asked him what to do. The life lessons they teach are profound. Highly recommended.Product details
