The Buddha was fond of imparting his teachings through parables: '... for men of good understanding will readily enough catch the meaning of what is taught under the shape of a parable.'

The stories offered in this collection are simple, wise, humourous and moving, and if read with openness they may be used as signposts on the path of spirituality.

The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell, ISBN 0691017840
Our Price $30.00, weight 625 grams, PB, In Stock
Despite their infinite variety of incident, setting, and costume, the myths of the world offer only a limited number of responses to the riddle of life. In this best-selling volume, Joseph Campbell presents the composite hero. Through Campbell's eyes, we see Apollo, the Frog King of the fairy tale, Wotan, the Buddha, and numerous other protagonists of folklore and religion enacting simultaneously the various phases of their common story.Campbell begins his interpretation of these timeless symbols by examining their relationship to those rediscovered in dreams by depth psychology. The psychological view is then compared with the words of such spiritual leaders as Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Lao-tse, and the "Old Men" of the Australian tribes. From behind a thousand faces, the single hero emerges, archetype of all myth.
