Jataka stories which are reported to be taught to children in part or full, in parts of India or elsewhere. 'Jataka' or tales of the former lives of the Buddha - based on those, the book is.One story has the moral that 'one cannot be forced on-to the path of Good.' In case the reader - as is commonly observed in the minds and hearts of men, who have every kind of deceitfulness and wicked thoughts in heart and mind - decides to force a book down throat of a little one for prideful reasons: such as, oh, the Lord knows and I do not - keeping up with the Joneses perhaps? Whose child is a shinier example of Good: yours or mine? Yes, this book has a story that goes on lengthily only to arrive at the moral that 'you cannot force another to do good, or be good'. Title? Or sub-title? 'Mis-guided morality'.88 Bright Hill RoadSingapore [e-mail],orgKong Meng San Phor K.rk See MonasteryDharma Propagation Division
