This is a necklace of peals, and the string is the one life that runs as a golden thread through all; and the pearls are each one a life of the Exalted One, the Brother of man, the Bodhisatva. As he passes along our path of in volution and evolution. He is a symbol of man's life, progressing of falling back again, gathering diverse experience until he needs no further births. And what is this unknown force thus symbolised? In the mineral It sleps and stirs not, in the plants it dreams and feebly moves, and in the animal. It wakes and gans the senses bone by one, till in the man is more than man. In these stories moral teachings are put in the mouth of an animal, to show that they too have a share in our animals. In this unity of life out fates are interlinked with all living beings. These stories are being trans late from The Sanskrit and hot from the Pali.
