Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little Buddha and His 9 Lives “Who, even for just a moment, hasn’t lost themselves in the peace of those deep eyes?” The cat reads your soul with the eyes of the Gods. The author, in a rather original way, will lead you to explore not only the true essence of the cat. From scrupulously grasping its most spiritual and mystical aspects, but also going beyond time and space, through real stories to then being dressed as Sherlock Holmes trotting around the globe in search of “footprints” left by these “little” divinities. Thus demonstrating their infinite potential, far from being just a simple pet. Note: This book is good for first English readings

Download or read book Endless Path written by Rafe Martin and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***WINNER, 2011 Storytelling World Resource Award – Best Storytelling Collection The jataka tales—stories of the Buddha’s past lives (in both human and animal form)—were first said to have been told by the Buddha himself 2,500 years ago. Five hundred and fifty jataka tales comprise part of the oldest Buddhist text, the Pali Canon. From this wealth of folklore, award-winning author and storyteller Rafe Martin has chosen ten tales that illustrate the ideals of the Buddhist paramitas, or “perfections” of character: giving, morality, forbearance, vitality, focused meditation, wisdom, compassionate skillful means, resolve, strength, and knowledge. Artist and designer Richard Wehrman helps bring the spirit of these stories alive with rich illustrations that open each chapter. Endless Path presents these ancient stories, usually reduced to children’s tales in the West, for adults, reconnecting modern seekers with the more imaginative roots of Buddhism. The jatakas help readers see their own lives, their failures and renewed efforts, in the same light as the challenges the Buddha faced—not as obstacles but as opportunities for developing character and self-understanding. Endless Path demonstrates the relevance of these tales to Buddhist lay practitioners today, as well as to those more broadly interested in Buddhist teaching and the ancient art of storytelling.
