Synopsis:
18 illustrated bedtime stories drawn from the Buddhist folk tradition, for parents to read aloud to their children—with inspiring lessons to make their little ones happier and wiser
In a series of delightful stories, practicing Buddhist and master storyteller Dharmachari Nagaraja conveys basic life lessons that will help children develop their personality, deal with their anxieties, and find peace and confidence as they grow up. Each story explores themes from the Eightfold Path—Buddhism’s practical route to a happy life—and includes topics such as:
• Speaking in a kind and truthful manner
• Behaving with compassion
• Thinking selflessly and avoiding the pitfalls of egotism.
Inside, you’ll also find:
• Affirmations that complement the positive message of each story
• Superb, specially commissioned illustrations
• A helpful introduction on the value of Buddhist principles for kids (and their parents!)
Although providing gentle guidance on the art of living well, each story is also compelling in its own right as it introduces characters, settings, and events that will enchant the little ones. With charming illustrations and empowering messages, The Buddha’s Apprentice at Bedtime shows how visualization, imaginative thinking, and even first steps in meditation can help to nurture young minds and hearts.
About the Author: Dharmachari Nagaraja has been a practising Buddhist since 1988 and was ordained into the Western Buddhist Order in 1993. He is an experienced broadcaster. Now living in Glasgow, he works as a psychotherapist. He is the author of Buddha at Bedtime (Watkins).
