Jataka Tales of the Buddha, Recording |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Between 1995 and 2002, Buddhist Publication Society published five small Bodhi Leaves, Jataka Tales of the Buddha, Parts I-V, retold by Ken & Visakha Kawasaki. After moving to Sri Lanka in 2005, as they have frequently reported, they worked intensively on reworking these stories and many more for a total of 217 (of the 547 original stories). That book, Jataka Tales of the Buddha: An Anthology, in three volumes, was scheduled to be published by Buddhist Publication Society in 2009. There has been an indefinite delay, but they still hope that it will be published before the world gets too much older. In the meantime, they found a Jataka tale which, though not included in the anthology, is both interesting and timely. Having retold it in the same style as the others, they offer it here with a recording. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
