The Mustard Seed A Buddhist Tale Of Grief And Courage

Mustard Seed: A Buddhist Tale of Grief and Courage is a contemporary retelling of a traditional Buddhist story that has helped people find strength and meaning in difficult times. This retelling in comic form uses watercolor techniques and a loose, flowing style to approach sensitive material in a gentle way. The language and examples are deliberately modern-day, taking the tale’s meaning beyond ancient India and into the present. This is a story about a grieving mother who seeks guidance from the Buddha. Buddha skillfully guides her toward understanding the truth of impermanence, and eventually this realization helps her compassion to grow and she is able to help others.
