Reading Notes: Inayat Jataka Tales, Part A

For this weeks reading I decided to read more Jataka tales. I have really enjoyed these stories so far and the new ones I found for this week are just as good. I particularly liked The Master's Test. This is the story of a man and his young pupils. The master asks his pupils to go steal money from someone for him. As the young pupils admire their master, they all go out to steal except one. The one who does not go says he will not steal even if no one is watching because he will see himself do it. This is the answer to the master's test that none of the other men see. The master was essentially teaching his pupils integrity and to be good people. I really enjoyed this story and it's moral.
