Jataka Tales is a compilation of stories from an ancient collection of famous legends about the former lives of the Buddha on his long road to enlightenment. Suggestive of Aesop, these beloved fables are fragments of epics and hero tales arising from deep in the collective Indian past. They present challenging circumstances for humans and animals alike, events which elicit courage and the capacity to love. Centered in one of the world's oldest cities on the Ganges River, these delightful stories tell of dramatic adventures resolved by nonviolent, compassionate means.

Story is told by a narrator who is a psychologist in Indian country. What appears to be a consultation with a patient ends up being a meeting with his teacher, Tarrence. Tarrence proceeds to take the narrator into a dreamtime journey that melts the worldview held by the storyteller. The dream leads the narrator to a place in which the energy generated by ancient dreamers must be balanced. The lack of balance brought on by the power dreamers and their ceremony resulted in the atomic bomb.

I racconti Jataka sono l'equivalente buddista delle Favole di Esopo. Sono storie di morale. Nelle culture buddiste dell'epoca, queste erano le storie che i bambini ascoltavano e che li facevano crescere. Erano l'intrattenimento popolare. Le famiglie si riunivano la sera, dopo il lavoro della giornata, e condividevano questi racconti. È da queste storie che si apprendevano le norme di comportamento dei seguaci del Buddha. Come nelle Favole di Esopo, i protagonisti di queste storie possono essere un re, un mercante, un artigiano o un animale.
