A lesson in modesty, Jun 4 2000
By M. J. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Proud Peacock and the Mallard (Paperback)
This book is a jataka tale - a story of a former life of the Buddha - published through a Tibetan Buddhist organization. The tale is written for young children to enjoy while carrying lightly a message regarding in appropriate pride. It is also interesting as the tale is of a princess (of the birds) choosing a husband - a subtle point that feminists may enjoy. However, rather than being feminist, this is a subtle reminder of the difference between our image of South Asian culture and the actual culture. To prepare your child to live in a truly global society, jataka tales are a useful tool - independent of the religious meaning of the tale.
