註釋In the Jataka Tales Series the traditional tales of the Buddha's past lives are presented for the enjoyment of Western children. In "The Spade Sage", the Buddha tells how he was once a simple farmer, his only possession a spade which tied him to his worldly life. He is finally able to free himself for a life of contemplation by hurling his spade into the river. The moral may seem obscure to a young mind attached to the latest computer game gadgetry. But this series offers seeds to be planted, lessons of value which transcend their cultural heritage. Although based on traditional accounts, the stories in the Jataka Tales Series have been adapted for children of today. May these tales inspire the positive thoughts and actions that will sustain the heart of goodness and illuminate the wisdom of all spiritual traditions for the well-being of future generations.
