The first text, referred to as the Gandhari London Dharmapada, represents an anthology of verses well known in the Buddhist tradition. The second text is a series of stories concerning previous births of the Buddha and of some of his disciples.

The most popular collection of Buddhist stories is, without doubt, the J takas. These are the stories of the Buddha's past births, relating his experiences as he passed from life to life on the way to becoming a Buddha. At times he takes the form of a bird, at times he is born as a hare, a monkey, a prince, a merchant, or an ascetic, but in each case he uses the challenges he meets to grow in generosity, virtue, patience, wisdom, and compassion. This anthology of Jatakas, ably told by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki, remains faithful to the original yet presents the stories in clear and simple language. It thereby makes the J takas accessible even to young readers and to those for whom English is not their first language.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI hope that this collection of J taka stories entertaining, uplifting, absorbing, at times amusing, but always fascinating will enable the modern reader to appreciate the impressive literary heritage of Buddhism and the simple beauty of its basic teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e  —Ven.
