Reviews

[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stories from the lives of Buddha. Read as part of a trilogy of Indian stories that included the Pancatantra and Tales from the Kathasaritsagara. Found them all to be interesting, and while comprising Eastern thought incorporates many ideas applicable to Western thought and governance as well.
