Inspired by the teachings of the Buddha, these forty-two contemporary short stories will uplift and inspire modern-day readers, who needn t have interest in Buddhist spiritual practice nor be familiar with Buddhist jargon to derive full enjoyment from reading them.
"Todd Walton's quietly told tales fill me with joy. How glad I am to share the world with such an amazing spirit and gifted writer!" -- James Norwood Pratt, author of The New Tea Lover's Treasury

The 42 short story tales express universal human predicaments and challenges that transcend any particular philosophical or religious orientation. Some of the stories are humorous, some sad, some erotic, some enigmatic; all are linked by the themes of mindfulness, nonviolence, honesty, compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and love perhaps the greatest remaining hope for our otherwise savage society.
