      Preface

      .......

      In the ancient past, many great men were born in India

      who left an impact on human civilisation. One among

      them was Sakyamuni Gautama Buddha, the

      One,

      Compassionate One who showed man the way out of

      xistence

      the suffering and misery of existence . Before appearing

      on Earth as the Buddha, he took several births as

      Bodhisattva. He narrated the stories of his previous births

      to the monks of his Sangha to illustrate his teachings.

      The tales about animals contained profound moral

      content. These must be read to gain information on some

      significant                          heritage

      of the most significant aspects of our literary her itage .

      Gautama Buddha

      ................

      A     bout 2,500 years ago, Kapilavastu was a flourishing city

      surrounded by tall sal trees on the foothills of the Himalayas,

      bordering Nepal. It was the capital of the royal kingdom

      established by the Sakyas, the Kshatriya clan.

      The Sakyas were a peace-loving people, who were ruled by

      King Shuddhodhana. The king was brave, kind and generous.

      His subjects loved and respected him. He had a beautiful wife

      named Maya.

      One night, Maya had an unusual dream. She saw a sparkling

      esce

      white elephant descend from heaven and enter her body. When

      stories of her dream reached the common masses, the Sakyas were

      delighted at the meaning of this prophetic dream their queen

      had seen. They said that the dream was very auspicious as it

      signified the birth of an heir to their king.

      Gradually days passed into weeks and weeks into months. The

      child in the womb of the queen grew like a moon in the clouds.

      Not far from the Sakya capital
