The Book of Peace presents us with a small collection of short stories and poems that make up the Jataka, a thousand-year-old collection of 547 poems that refer to the earlier lives of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, often in the form of an animal. The compilation is presented by the translators/organizers as reflections that lead us to think what peace can be.
