June 21, 2014Through this engaging story on Buddhist principles, young readers can learn how to control their emotions and implement positive change in their lives. This story focuses on one malicious man who intended to do harm onto others yet grew into a giving, compassionate person through a Buddhist practice. Children will learn the basic teachings of Buddhism, yet, since the book targets audiences of both Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, they will also likely find ways to improve themselves by methods of meditation, mindfulness and acceptance.
