Nothing teaches like a good story. In The Short March to Wisdom, collaborators Venerable Yung Dong and Marjorie Jacobs collect some of their favorites from the Buddhist scriptures and distill them into short and pithy fables. With over forty years of teaching experience between its authors, from grade school to university lectures, The Short March to Wisdom is an excellent tool for teaching Buddhist concepts and ethics to young adults. Instead of heavy-handed moralizing, The Short March to Wisdom presents the reader with open ended questions to help examine the deeper meaning behind each story, allowing the reader to take charge of their learning and growth.

Venerable Master Hsing Yun

Non-attachment, the letting go of our desires, is a central teaching of Buddhism. As long as we crave, we suffer. We need to learn to let go of our desires in order to eliminate the suffering that results from craving. This truth is simple to understand, but nowhere near as easy to practice. As Venerable Master Hsing Yun points out in this book, it is not just attachment to things, but even to our own views that prevent us from making progress. "Of all the sicknesses of the mind," he writes, "none is worse than wrong views." Prejudice, panic, envy, and moodiness are contrasted with respect, harmony, broadmindedness, tolerance, and flexibility. By developing right views, the Master says, we can learn to "view all sentient beings with compassion," and practice the "Three Goods" of saying good words, doing good deeds, and thinking good thoughts. By cultivating our speech, our bodies, and our minds, we can begin to rise above our own concerns and reach out to others with compassion and loving-kindness.

Back in 1927, in a small village in Jiangsu Province, China, a marvelous boy was born. Remarkable for his compassion and generosity, he was the object of teasing among the neighbors. Because of his habit of sharing the family's candy with the neighborhood children, it was said that he knew "little else but how to give everything away to others." Small wonder that such a boy would grow up to be a man who selflessly gives his life to spread the teachings of the Buddha! 
From his boyhood and early monastic training on the Chinese Mainland; through his emigration to Taiwan; to the extraordinary spread of his monastic foundation, Fo Guang Shan, to all of the world's inhabited continents¡Xthis book shows the causes and conditions that resulted in the boy Li Guoshen developing into Venerable Master Hsing Yun, associate of world leaders and beloved teacher of millions. 
One of the hallmarks of his mission, from its earliest days, has been the writing and dissemination of deeply profound yet simply expressed works on the Dharma, and their application to the needs and concerns of people living in the modern world. The catalog you hold in your hand is one of the myriad fruits of this effort. As a religious reformer, an innovator in monastic method, and a caring educator, Venerable Master Hsing Yun has lived a life that can serve as an example to all of how to follow the bodhisattva path in the modern world.
