Tales of Freedom

Wisdom from the Buddhist Tradition
By Vessantara
ISBN 1899579273
Read by Subhadra
A Zen monk strides empty handed into a tiger's cage. An Indian master spontaneously empties a bag of gold dust into the air. A young woman lays down the burden of her dead child and asks the Buddha to accept her as his disciple.
Here is another book by the popular author, Vessantara, who takes incidents from the lives of the Buddha, Tibetan mystics and Zen masters and uses them to show how we too can live a more fulfilled life. Full of colourful tales, Vessantara's vivid, imaginative style makes these ancient, well-loved stories inspiring tools for self-development.
