| | Jataka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jataka tales are not considered Buddha-vacana, i.e., generally, Theravada Buddhists do not accord them the authority of being the actual word of the Buddha, and Sri Lanka orthodoxy maintains that they are not canonical writings. | | | The term "Jataka" refers to the Buddhist trope of treating each story as an incarnation of the Buddha-to-be prior to his enlightenment --although this is sometimes clearly a super-imposition over an earlier (i.e., pre-Buddhist) fable. | | | Sanskrit and Tibetan Jataka stories tend to maintain the Buddhist morality of their Pali equivalents, but re-tellings of the stories in Persian and other languages sometimes contain significant amendments to suit their respective cultures. |

| | Bhuridatta Jataka , buddha's birth, Buddhist literature, |
| | The Jatakas form a part of Buddhist canonical literature and as such are popularly believed to be pearls of wisdom from the mouth of the Buddha himself. | | | Jatakas have also been gloriously depicted at the shrines at Sanchi and Amravati. | | | The Buddhist doctrine of impermanence is shown in Garhita Jataka, Dasratha Jataka and the Bhuridatta Jataka among others. |

| | Jataka Tales retold by Noor Inayat Khan |
| | The Jataka stories are told by the Buddha himself, and at the end of each story he identifies the role that he himself played, and sometimes the roles of others as well, particularly his disciples. | | | The traditional belief is that they form part of the canon of Buddhist scriptures established in 483 B.C., at the council that his disciples held shortly after his death. | | | The question of the religious character of the Jatakas is complicated by the fact that quite a few of these stories have been exported through translation and detached altogether from the Buddhist context. |

| | Jataka Tales are often short narratives which tell the stories of the lives of the Buddha before he reached Enlightenment, when, in the process of meditating beneath the Bodhi Tree, the cure for life's suffering was revealed to him. | | | The Jataka Tales are narratives of the 550 lives of the Buddha before he reached enlightenment. | | | The stories teach the lessons of Buddhism through short morality tales, each of which is said to be a tale from one of the Buddha's earlier lives. |

| | The Ruru Jataka narrates the story of the Bothisattva's birth as a deer, often regarded as sacred and innocent in India, particularly in the Buddhist tradition. | | | There are other Jatakas mentioning the Bo0dhisattva's birth as deer or stag two of which are also illustrated at Ajanta (Cave No. 17) - the Nyagrodha-Mriga and Sarabha-Mriga Jataka. | | | We know that according to the Chinese political tradition the king cannot be devious and is always the arbitor of justice. |

| | Some Aspects of Jataka Paintings in Indian And Chinese (Central Asian) Art |
| | Despite their Buddhist affiliation, the genesis of the Jataka stories is shrouded in obscurity. | | | By means of vivid story-depiction the Bodhisattva, through the Jataka tales, sought to inculcate virtuous living amongst his followers rather than insistence on doctrinal dogmas trying ot create a new faith at the level of the commoner. | | | The Jatakamala, written in the purest Sanskrit in good lengths, is a selection of 34 Jatakas with the avowed object of arousing the true faith in the minds of the readers. |

| | In their early written form, the Jataka Tales were "birth stories," so called because they were supposedly stories remembered by Buddha from his past lives. | | | The Jataka Tales are to Buddhist culture and the East what Aesop's Fables were to the West. | | | Although little known in America, they have been read for over 2,000 years in other parts of the world and are attributed to Buddha himself, the founder of one of the world's five major religions. |

| | The Illustrated Jataka & Other Stories of the Buddha - Introduction |
| | As the Jatakas delineate a kaleidoscopic view of the journey of the Bodhisatta (Sanskrit Bodhisattva) undergoing several stages of birth or junctions to become a Buddha the acquaintance with the concepts of the ‘Buddha’ and the ‘Bodhisatta’ is of great relevance. | | | Classified into twenty-two sections (or nipatas) the Jataka of the Khuddaka Nikaya is traditionally believed to follow the scheme of classification by way of the number of the verses included in a section. | | | A Bodhisatta is one who aspires to attain the bodhi or Enlightenment; and makes a proclamation of his solemn resolve to become a Buddha for the welfare and liberation of all creatures before each of the Buddhas, who he meets. |
