Sarah Conover's collection of traditional Buddhist tales leads us to the kind of implicit understanding of ourselves and others that only stories can provide. Following the Buddha through his various transformations, these clarified and often humorous narrative journeys open the ancient master's profound and gentle teachings to persons of all ages, religions, races, and ideological persuasions. Over and over, this marvelous book tells us, "Let go of your anger, your fear, your greedy desire. Embrace gladness. Follow the path." The stories form a wondrous pageant: of elephants, monkeys, monks, and men working through foolishness toward wisdom and delight.

What Customers Say About Kindness: A Treasury of Buddhist Wisdom for Children and Parents (The Little Light of Mine Series):
|
|
I can find the same parables online and by my estimation, they charged way too much for the book. I found this product to be a little deep for kids, and it mainly just contains pretty basic Buddhist parables.
Even if the kids have fallen asleep, I'll often read one of the stories before bed.
Each story has a short saying in between it which come to have their own value. Many of the stories are classic Buddhist tales. Whether you would like to introduce your child to Buddhism or simple wish to have a vehicle with which to discuss life and values, this is a quality investment. This is a wonderful book and well designed. It is perfect for a short story time with a discussion of meaning.
This book is an excellent book to introduce children to Buddhist (and Taoist) philosophy with simple parables and tales.
My middle schoolers still love the stories. Well written and engaging for all ages, but best for elementary school age children. First I used this book with my children as we learned about different religions and spiritual views. As they got older we visited it again because these Buddhist stories are applicable to so many situations in life regardless of your views on God, theist, or atheist.Now as a religious education teacher of younger people at the Unitarian Universalist fellowship I use this book extensively when teaching about buddhism, kindness, compassion and many other concepts.
