Synopsis:
Based on a work by the 11th-century Buddhist poet Ksemendra, who organised 108 Jatakas and Avadanas into a powerful masterpiece renowned for its clear elucidation of Buddhist teachings, the Bodhisattvadanakalpalata. In the nineteenth century, Ksemendra's work inspired the Tibetan master Padma Chophel to prepare a shorter more accessible version. Perceiving its value to Western Buddhists, Tartthang Tulku requested this English translation.
Leaves of the Heaven Tree is offered to illuminate the meaning of karma, convey the great compassion of the Buddha, and open the way to a happier, more satisfying life. Treasured by all Buddhist traditions, these 108 teachings on karma both delight and instruct, illuminating every gesture we make and every action we perform. Springing forth like leaves from the tree of enlightened knowledge, they reveal precisely which actions lead to freedom and which enmesh us in suffering.
Seated beneath the Bodhi Tree at the time of enlightenment, the Buddha saw clearly how each action arises, matures, and creates the conditions for future actions, producing cycles of suffering or opening opportunities for realization. When his disciples asked why certain things happened, he showed the link between past and present by recounting his own previous lives and those of his disciples. |
