In this book, twelve leading scholars of South Asian texts and traditions articulate the Buddha-life blueprint-the underlying and foundational pattern that holds the life story of a buddha together. They retell the episodes of Buddha Gautama's extended life story, while keeping in mind the cosmic, paradigmatic arc of his narrative. The contributors have dedicated their careers to exploring hagiographical materials, each applying their own methodological and theoretical interests to shed new light on the enduring story of Buddhism.

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.
