Buddhist Parables

Burlingame, Eugene Watson

Buddhist Parables - Jaipur: Hilltop Publications, 2024 - xxxi, 348p.

This volume contains over 200 similes, allegories, parables, fables and other illustrative stories and anecdotes found in the Pali Buddhist texts and said to have been employed, either by the Buddha himself or his followers, to convey religious and ethical lessons and the lessons of common sense. The book should prove to be of interest to children and its contents should also prove thought provoking to the profoundest philosopher.
