King Wonderful Adornment: A Children's Tale From the Lotus Sutra

By Ryusho Jeffus

Children's book based upon a tale from the Lotus Sutra found in the chapter of the same name King Wonderful Adornment. It has been many years I have had the idea of turning this story found with in this sacred text of Buddhism into a children's story. There are few books currently for children on Buddhism and fewer still from the Lotus Sutra. Through the actions of the children they are able to convince their father to take faith in the Lotus Sutra. Our actions speak louder than our words, yet it is difficult to always do the things that would shine a favorable light on our beliefs. Doing good requires, at times, supernatural powers. How difficult is it to do the right thing? When no one is looking? When no one praises? When others are doing harm? These are all matters every human struggles with. It isn't easy to do good, to be good. As an extra treat the illustrator has included some Easter Eggs in his delightful illustrations. Kanjo Grohman truly brings the story to life through his art work. At the conclusion of the book I, Ryusho, talk about some of the revelations I experienced as Kanjo and I worked to complete this book. I hope this book will be inspirational, and perhaps offer assistance for both the child in the adult and the child of the adult.
