Джатаки. Сказания о Будде. Том 1
В первый том антологии джатак в пересказе Кэна и Висакхи Кавасаки вошло 110 рассказов из 217, выбранных для первого знакомства современного западного читателя с древним жанром индийских притч о земных перевоплощениях Будды. Считается, что сам Будда использовал эти рассказы, чтобы доносить учение до людей. Громадная популярность рассказов не увядает уже третье тысячелетие — их сюжеты проникли в каноны сказок многих народов, и это объясняется не только занимательностью самих волшебных сюжетов, но и нравственным наставлением в вечных ценностях, точным описанием важнейших людских проблем — тех, которые остаются неизменными во все времена и во всех культурах.

I used this primarily for research, so my reading was episodic and piecemeal. I might go through it again just for fun someday.

So many stories. There is the king that eats his son or the cruel man who killed the two brother monkeys and their old mother to come back to his home and family destroyed. Or the unfaithful concubine. There is a diversity of stories and I enjoyed the perspective that the Buddha is in nearly all incarnate. He is not always the wise one. As life progresses and he needs new lessons he gain different struggles.
