Gautama, as we all know, left home to discover a way to end all human misery. He became Buddha, the Enlightened One, when one day in a flash, the truth dawned on him a he sat meditating under the Bodhi tree in Gaya. He came back with practical solutions which even a layman could adopt. Those who followed him had to first accept and comprehend the four Noble Truths: · Worldly existence is full of misery · Desire and attachment are the cause of worldly existence · Worldly existence could be ended by keeping out desire and attachment· There is a way to do this The path he advocated was the well-known eight-fold path right speech, right action, right means of livelihood to achieve control on the physical plane, right exertion, right-mindedness, right meditation to achieve mental strength, right resolution and right point of view for intellectual development. When these guidelines are adhered to they bring about peace of mind this is borne out by the Buddhist tales that have come down to us. A few such tales have been included in this Chitra Katha.
