Leaf Talks Peace

Leaf Talks Peace: Buddha's Message of Harmony | Priya Kumari

1 post | 1 read

Leaf Talks Peace takes the reader back in time to the Bodhi tree where Buddha is meditating. He observes how a Peepal leaf gives a message of interdependent origination of life. He sees the Sun, the Earth, clouds, time, space, and consciousness in a leaf. There is a peaceful co-existence of all. A leaf cannot survive without any of these different elements. He finds the entire universe breathing happily in a leaf. The leaf, a symbol of human well-being, comes from interdependence and not from coercion.The objective of Leaf Talks Peace is to inculcate a sense of harmony and care in young readers. Harmony can happen in the world when there is peace between humans, peace with nature, and peace within ourselves. It can happen when differences are respected, when everyone acknowledges interdependent origination of life, and when there are no absolute dogmas but constant evolution of thoughts.

4 ⭐ Not being of Indian descent I am probably not the person to review this book. With that in mind please know that any misunderstanding of meaning or anything else is mine and mine alone. Now overall, if I skipped the message from the Dalai Lama and from the supreme head of Buddha dharma and just read the story, I probably would have generally liked it. I did like the note from Dalai Lama because it gave me, a non-Buddhist and non-Indian,

LibrarianRyan a little understanding of the idea of the leaf. However, the message from the supreme head of the institution of Buddha Dharma should have come in at the end. I am not 100% sure if this book was translated or not, but if it wasn‘t translated then what the the institute put their message doesn‘t make sense because this is not a rhyming book, this is a repeating book. Overall, I find the story interesting, and the graphics go with it perfectly. It‘s 2y

LibrarianRyan a light introduction to the thought of “me” as part of a circle of life and ever after. In this instance I think the guidance for parents and teachers at the end is very helpful.
