Generous Wisdom: Commentaries on The Jatakamala Garland of Birth Stories by The Dalai Lama
Generous wisdom
Generous wisdom is a set of four commentaries on the Jatakamala: Garland of birth stories of Buddha given by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during the annual great prayer festival that follows Tibetan New Year in Dharamsala keeping alive the tradition started by Tsongkhapa in 1409. This work is probably the first of its kind for it is not just a story-telling but brings new meaning to life when one reads through the book.
Though the theme of this work is the perfection of generosity of the bodhisattvas His Holiness speaks comprehensively on other perfections such as ethics and patience. He also speaks at length on such concepts as karmic action dependent-arising and the four classes of reason applied in Buddhism to study phenomena which correlate with modern scientific methodology.
Introduction

This is the conviction central to what His Holiness the Dalai Lama XIV has taught in his recent "Commentaries" on The Jatakamala Garland of birth stories. A representative four "Commentaries"-here translated for the first time- have been included in this collection.
