The Fowler and the Quail: A Jataka Tale
The Jataka Tales are stories of the past lives of the Buddha. More importantly for our purposes, they are teaching lessons about the qualities of heart and mind to be developed if we want to get free from the grips of greed, aversion, and delusion. For this evening’s presentation, Rich will read Jataka 33, the Sammodamana Jataka. We will then break into small groups (both in person and on Zoom) to discuss the lessons we can find from this simple story. Then Sara will read it again, and the discussion groups will meet again to see what new insights arose from hearing the Tale a second time. We will close the evening by sharing with the large group. Join us for an evening of learning in community.
