Synopsis

Without thinking twice, the tot would hasten to share with his little friends a slice of cake from the Buddha's shrine, an incomparable gem of a pebble retrieved from the roadside, or the contents of the family candy-can altogether. Neighbors would tease his mother for raising a foolhardy son. But for the child himself, he simply felt great at the sight of everyone having a great time. The boy who could grow up to become one of the most illustrious Buddhist monastics of our time left home at age twelve to enter a life quite apart from the worldly ways. As the young Venerable Master Hsing Yun continued to bask in the wisdom of the Dharma, he gradually awakened to the fact that compassion and generosity, kindly words and supportive actions in the Buddhist doctrine are indeed meant to ensure all shall fare happily ever after. Hsing Yun's Hundred Sayings Series comprises first person narratives of snippets from a legendary past, encounters along a perpetual odyssey, thoughts recaptured, and sentiments revisited.
