The Jataka Stories have for hundreds of years been seminal to the development of many civilizations, the cultivation of moral conduct and good behavior, the growth of a rich and varied literature in diverse parts of the world, and the inspiration for painting, sculpture, and architecture of enduring aesthetic value. The Buddha himself used jataka stories to explain concepts like karma and rebirth and to emphasize the importance of certain moral values.

The Jataka tales compose a large collection of Buddhist morality stories in which the Buddha recounts some of his past lives on his long road to enlightenment. Even though they’re a part of the Pali Canon and contain words attributed to the Buddha himself, they’re more folktale than religious text, and their popularity stems as much from their entertainment value as their moral messages. Often compared with Aesop’s Fables, the Buddha-to-be is sometimes born as an animal, and he frequently overcomes difficult situations and solves problems in creative and comical ways. This book features abridged, plain-language versions of all 547 classical Jataka tales, the first-ever complete collection of this sort in English. Much easier to read than the stodgy translations done by scholars more than a century ago, these concise stories are as enjoyable as they are enlightening and appeal to everyone, not just Buddhists. “With these modern English renderings of Cowell's nineteenth century translations, Tim Bewer has offered freshly readable versions of the entire jataka collection . . . This enormous labor of love makes these delightful, but long obscured, texts elegantly accessible to modern readers. They will be valued by all lovers of Buddhist art and literature for their spiritual and aesthetic qualities, but also by those who simply admire the fabulous Indian imagination, for these tales make their wisdom charming with entertainment and fun.”—Stephen Jenkins, Professor Emeritus of Religion at Cal Poly Humboldt “Easy to read and understand, these versions of the Jataka tales are a delight.”—Phra Saneh Dhammavaro, Founder of the Monk Chat Program and International Meditation Center at Wat Suan Dok, Chiang Mai

This is the extended and annotated edition including * an extensive annotation of more than 10.000 words about the history and basics of Buddhism, written by Thomas William Rhys Davids * an interactive table-of-contents * perfect formatting for electronic reading devices The Jātakas refer to a voluminous body of literature native to India concerning the previous births (jāti) of the Buddha. These are the stories that tell about the previous lives of the Buddha, in both human and animal form. The future Buddha may appear in them as a king, an outcast, a god, an elephant—but, in whatever form, he exhibits some virtue that the tale thereby inculcates. The Theravada Jatakas comprise 547 poems, arranged roughly by increasing number of verses. This book comprises poem 1 through 150. (courtesy of wikipedia.com)

The Jataka as we possess tells about the life of Buddha during some incarnation in one of his previous existences as a Bodhisatta (one being destined to enlightenment). Each separate story is embedded in a framework, which forms the story of the present. The present selection brings together the Jataka stories of the most widespread interest.
