A beautiful painted illustrations along an awesome story of spreading peace based on actual events. The book truly put things into perspective with the simple example of a cat and mouse being friends that I think both children and adults would enjoy. ( ) This book is about a monk who showed peace through the example of a cat and a mouse that got along. He is showing that even though the cat was hungry, he did not eat the mouse because they were at peace with each other. It is tangible to understand because children know the relationship which cat and mice have with each other. And they can they parallel that with human relationships. The art in this book is also very interesting. It seems like watercolor and shows both the peace of the monk and the Vietnam war which is happening in the book as well, it definitely accompanies the words well. Buddhist Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh brings the story of The Coconut Monk from the mouths of the Vietnamese to the written page. The Coconut Monk is unable to be at piece in his coconut tree with the war going on, he travels to see the President with his friends the cat and mouse. Illustrated by Vo-Dinh-Mai, who has a interesting and creative artistic style, this story was very enjoyable, and easy to recommend for all children. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's second children's book is the story of a monk, a cat, and a mouse learning to live together in peace in the midst of war. Set against the background of the Vietnam War and based on an actual person, The Coconut Monk uses the image of an eccentric monk who has found a way for archenemies to live together peacefully. Based on a talk given directly to children Thich Nhat Hanh uses the image of a cat and a mouse as metaphors for overcoming seemingly unconquerable divides of nature and opinion. Using the example of extending unbiased kindness and remaining calm and centered in the midst of upheaval, the story teaches children the Buddhist principles of equanimity, compassion, and perseverance. Amidst adversarial circumstances the figure of the Coconut Monk remains focused on his practice and continues to radiate all-encompassing love. It's direct expression - a Buddha like smile - is an image well familiar even to those children that have not been previously exposed to Buddhist ideas and principles. With full-color oil-paintings by Vietnamese-American painter Vo-Dinh Ma,illustrator of award-winning children's books including First Snow and Hermit and the Well. With a new introduction by the author. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
