This book is part of a series of Jataka Tales released in paperback for 3-8 year olds. The Jataka Tales are a group of folk stories that originated in India, each of which relays an ethical teaching. Many center around animals and magical creatures, and within Buddhist traditions are taught to be accounts of the Buddha's past lives. In Buddhist cultures these stories are performed through song and dance at festivals, and told to children as part of their morality training.This particular tale introduces themes of patience and compassion. A monkey constantly teases a buffalo, who endures his teasing with endless patience, unlike the other animals of the area. A forest sprite sees this, and asks the buffalo how he does it. The monkey overhears the buffalo telling the forest sprite how he views the monkey as a true friend, because he is teaching him how to be patient, and the monkey himself vows to become a true friend in return.Like all the books in this series, this book has vibrant, appealing pictures, and a coloring page at the end where one scene from the story is provided in a form that children can color themselves. It also contains a Parents' and Teachers' Corner: a 2-page spread with suggested questions and activities, as well as history, associated with the story. This book is also sold as part of a 12-book Teachers set:Teacher Resource Guide set: Teacher Resource Guide boxed with 12 Jataka Tales
I have a small specialty bookstore that carries books to support Vipassana meditation practice. This is one of my favorite books and I sell many of them. Of all the Jataka tales that Dharma Publishing has produced, The Magic of Patience is by far the finest. It is as delightful and telling to both adults and children. I assure you this will be a book you encourage your friends to read as well, as it is a fairly quick read.
The book had a few references to violence, which I personally think is outside the recommended reading age just a little... but in the context of the story it is handled well. Recieved quickly and in quality stated. Happy with tranaction
I learn as much from this as I hope my children do. Patience -- we could all use some practice.
