“What is Mingala ?”
The Pali word “Mingala” in the Myanmar
language means something which is auspicious, brings luck, blessings and
well-being to an individual, a family, community or nation.
The Mingala stories
contain deep truths and share lessons of great wisdom. Belief systems and
traditions around the world all contain lessons and guidelines which add to the
storehouse of knowledge for the benefit of humanity. The “38 Mingalas”, from
the Myanmar Buddhist tradition give guidance on how to live a healthy, peaceful
and prosperous life for the benefit of all.
For thousands of years,
children and adults the world over have loved to tell and listen to classic
traditional and popular folk tales. Each country has its own set of traditional
stories to offer and the Wisdom Tales from Myanmar Series contain stories that one may not have heard before.
The
art of story telling from the 2500 years old traditional Myanmar tales is used
to reinforce traditional family values and character building. The original text
in the Myanmar language was written by Myanmar author U Min Yu Wai. It is
adapted, translated and retold in English for children by Ms. Sheila Desmond.
The beautiful illustrations for this book are drawn by veteran artist U San
Hlaing. It is edited by the editorial team of AungZay.
We
are committed to publish successive children’s story books from the “Wisdom
Tales from Myanmar” series totaling thirty eight stories.
The Mango and
Gwedauk Tree:
"Not to associate with fools”:Story 1.
is
the first publication in the Wisdom Tales from Myanmar Series.
Contributions
from our friends and supporters will help us with the publications of future children story books
in the Wisdom Series, for the enjoyment
and benefit of children everywhere.
