Buddhist Tales. Wisdom as a Path to Happiness

The book "Buddhist Tales" is a collection of ancient wise stories that convey deep philosophical and moral ideas of Buddhism. These tales, filled with allegories and symbols, help the reader realize the laws of karma, cause-and-effect, impermanence, and non-violence, as... well as gain understanding of the path to enlightenment.


Each story reveals human weaknesses – ignorance, greed, anger, attachments – and shows how proper understanding and adherence to Dharma lead to liberation from suffering. The tales feature peasants and kings, sages and fools, animals and spirits – all of them become heroes of instructive stories, allowing the reader to grasp profound truths through simple images.


The book will be of interest not only to followers of Buddhism, but also to anyone seeking answers to eternal questions about the nature of life, suffering, and the path to true happiness.
