The collection of Jataka tales that narrate the tales of the former births of the Buddha has guided Sri Lankan Buddhist society from ancient times. Children who read these tales will grow in virtue and wisdom. The aim of this series of booklets is to present some of these Jataka tales in a short and readable manner. This story is based on the 'Tipallattha Miga Jataka.'
This book is an attempt to look at Buddhism from an intellectual prospective. As the texts of Buddhism are so vast a newcomer to Buddhism will find it difficult to understand the basics of Buddhism as rituals associated with Buddhism may confuse them.
