In the Garden of Our Minds and Other Buddhist Stories
Written by Michelle L. Johnson-Wider
Illustrated by Brian Chen
This illustrated book of children's stories presents the wisdom of Mahayana Buddhism through the accessible and entertaining lens of a modern Buddhist family with two rambunctious elementary school-aged children. Five of the chapters retell traditional stories of the life of the Buddha in a way that makes their lessons relevant to modern life. One contains a simple guided meditation practice based on the teachings of Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh for use with children and one describes the family's visit to hear a Tibetan Buddhist Rinpoche give a Dharma teaching about bodhicitta. At the end of the book, a Conversations with Children section and Glossary of Terms provide additional context to foster family or Dharma group discussions. Introductions are by His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche and Venerable Bardor Tulku Rinpoche.
