Hi all,

It's been awhile since my last newsletter and article, and I have two new offerings for you. The first is my latest children's book review, and the second is a new quiz.

Buddha at Bedtime - Children's Book Review
This book offers another lovely collection of bedtime stories based on Buddhist Jataka tales, for children ages 4-10. Focused on teaching universal values such as kindness, sharing, forgiveness, and more, this book is great for both Buddhist and non-Buddhist parents and children.

In closing, instead of a sutra passage this time, I have a 'lesson' from the book reviewed above, Buddha at Bedtime, from the story 'The Lion and the Jackal':

"Sometimes it is easy to let fear and jealousy cloud our judgment. A wise person knows that there is enough love in their heart to give to every living creature in the world."

In Peace,
