Where Is Your Buddha Nature?: Stories to Instruct and Inspire

Storytelling is one of the most ancient Buddhist traditions, and in fact many of the most revered Buddhist scriptures are collections of stories. Where is Your Buddha Nature? is too: stories that teach, encourage, guide, inspire, and, not least of all, amuse. Gathered into eight groups - stories about the Buddha, about Chan masters, about people, devotees, disciples, animals, monastics, and about Master Hsing Yun himself - they harken back to the earliest origins of Buddhism and at the same time are contemporary and immediate, filled with the hum of the modern world and the real situations, conflicts, and opportunities Buddhists face within it. These accessible and appealing tales and anecdotes are also a perfect and painless introduction to modern Buddhist belief and practice.
