Nothing teaches like a good story. In The Short March to Wisdom, collaborators Venerable Yung Dong and Marjorie Jacobs collect some of their favorites from the Buddhist scriptures and distill them into short and pithy fables. With over forty years of teaching experience between its authors, from grade school to university lectures, The Short March to Wisdom is an excellent tool for teaching Buddhist concepts and ethics to young adults. Instead of heavy-handed moralizing, The Short March to Wisdom presents the reader with open ended questions to help examine the deeper meaning behind each story, allowing the reader to take charge of their learning and growth.

Wonderful book.,
This review is from: The Short March to Wisdom (Paperback)
A Short March to Wisdom is a wonderful collection of short stories, followed by discussion topics for each. I very much enjoy listening to my six year old read the each story, then work through each of the questions and hear what he got out of the story. Having talked to others about this book, I know a teacher even used some of the stories and discussion topics in a classroom setting. Highly recommend this book.
