…The philosophy contained in the Jataka stories is universal, not merely meant for the laypeople alone. Nevertheless, these stories being stories and at the same time Jataka stories, have the virtue of being able to cater to different audiences at different levels, ultimately, to inculcate virtues and insights in their readers/listeners almost unbeknownst to them.
P.G. Punchihewa and Mallika Karunaratne, mature, experienced and learned, and motivated by a deep sense of social responsibility, have retold these stories, to bring out the perennial value of this ancient wisdom on our lives in the early part of the 21st century. Although the stories are particularly aimed at young adolescents, they are good for people of all age groups. I hope and wish that this collection be successful in its intended lofty mission!
