I See You, Mara!: A Story in Playful Rhyme from the Buddhist Sutras

Beschreibung

If Dr. Seuss were drawing on classical Buddhist texts for inspiration, this is what he'd write-with playful yet classic illustrations by the team behind I See You, Buddha, to which this book is a standalone companion. Destined to be classic, I See You, Mara! is a beautifully illustrated tale from the Buddhist sutras that will help kids learn how to better relate to their most difficult thoughts and feelings-including fear, self-doubt, and all kinds of insecurities. The story is told in the memorable and engaging rhyming verse in the tradition of Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, and illustrated in a traditional and yet light-hearted style by the renowned and award-winning illustrator of I See You, Buddha! and Wisdom's Illustrated Lotus Sutra, and many other books. Mara is a character from the Buddhist tradition who is the personification of the mind that causes suffering, also known as delusion. I See You, Mara! provides time-tested tools for dispelling the voice of fear, doubt, and inadequacy that arises for all of us.
