Inspired by the teachings of the Buddha, these forty-two contemporary short stories will uplift and inspire readers concerned with those human predicaments and challenges transcendent of any particular philosophical or religious orientation. Some of the stories are humorous, some sad, some erotic, some enigmatic; all are linked by the themes of mindfulness, nonviolence, honesty, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and love.
