The stories are drawn from ancient Pali and Sinhalese sources, and have been adapted for a modern audience while preserving the original moral and ethical teachings. These stories have been used for centuries in Buddhist education and sermons to teach important values such as compassion, generosity, honesty, and the dangers of greed and craving.

The Buddhist Tales for Young and Old series provides a rich collection of stories that can help readers of all ages develop moral and ethical values, as well as a deeper understanding of Buddhist teachings and philosophy. The combination of engaging narratives and beautiful illustrations (Vols. 1 and 2) makes these books a valuable resource for both personal and educational purposes.

Download or read book The Influence of Indian Thought on the Thought of the West written by Swami Ashokananda and published by Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math). This book was released on with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Vivekananda and the Universal Gospel is a biography of Swami Vivekananda written by the French Nobel Laureate Monsieur Romain Rolland. The book was written in the 1920s. The author was assisted, through correspondence, by Swami Ashokananda, who was at that time the editor of the English journal Prabuddha Bharata. However, in the life of Swami Vivekananda written by M. Rolland, it is evident that the author does not believe that India has had any role in shaping global thought and culture, and nor does he believe that the philosophy of the Upanishads has influenced Western thought in any way. As a rebuttal to M. Rolland’s views on the subject, Swami Ashokananda wrote an article, “The Influence of Indian Thought on the Thought of the West”, which was published serially in 1931 in the April, May, and June issues of Prabuddha Bharata. This article was later brought out in book form, but has been out of print for a long time. Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, is happy to republish this title considering its great relevance even today. In one of his lectures delivered in India, Swami Vivekananda says: “The debt which the world owes to our motherland is immense... Like the gentle dew that falls unseen and unheard, and yet brings into blossom the fairest of roses, has been the contribution of India to the thought of the world. Silent, unperceived, yet omnipotent in its effect, it has revolutionized the thought of the world, yet nobody knows when it did so.” By a perusal of this booklet, we believe readers of today will be convinced of the undeniable Influence of Indian Thought on the Thought of the West.
Download or read book Therav da Buddhism and the British Encounter written by Elizabeth June Harris and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2006 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the British encounter with Buddhism in nineteenth century Sri Lanka. Its central concern is the way Buddhism was represented and constructed by the British scholars, officials, missionaries, travelers and religious seekers who traveled to the country. The book traces three main historical phases in the encounter from 1796 to 1900 and gives a sensitive and nuanced exegesis of the cultural and political influences that shaped the early British understanding of Buddhism. This work fills a significant gap in scholarship on Theravāda Buddhism in Sri Lanka and its subsequent transmission to the West. Of particular significance is its coverage of how nineteenth century missionary writings on Buddhism affected both the development of Protestant Buddhism and Christian-Buddhist relations in the twentieth century. Through its exploration of original materials connected with several important pioneer writers on Buddhism, it expands the readers' understanding of inter-religious and inter-cultural relations under colonialism. --from back cover.
