TY - GEN AU - Amar Chitra Katha TI - Tales of misers: a collection of jataka tales SN - 9788184820409 U1 - 741.5 AMA/T PY - 2007/// CY - Mumbai -- PB - Amar Chitra Katha -- N2 - Ilisa and Kesiya, two misers, foolishly filled their lives with worry. Had they understood the joy of giving and sharing, how much happier they and their families, would have been! Buddha's most important message, that desire and greed block the path to eternal bliss, is reiterated in the Jataka tales. These light-hearted parables teach us to respect ourselves as well as others. But, like Manduka, they also relish an occasion to get a fool to part with his money! ER -
