註釋A young Prince pacifies a fierce lion-man's rage when he keeps his word at the risk of losing his life. Moved by the Prince's honesty and courage, the lion-man is inspired to renounce his violent ways and develop kindness and wisdom. The Jatakas, first related by the Buddha over two thousand years ago, bring to light his many lifetimes of positive action practiced for the sake of the world. As an embodiment of great compassion, the Awakended One reappears in many forms, in many times and places to ease the suffering of living beings. Thus these accounts are filled with heroes of all kinds, each demonstrating the power of compassion and wisdom to transform any situation. Based on traditional texts, the stories in the Jataka Tales Series have been adapted for the children of today. May these tales inspire the positive action that will sustain the heart of goodness and the light of wisdom for the future of the world.
