Little Bodhi Stories

Jathaka Picture Tales (ජාතක කතා) retells the Jathaka stories, the tales of the Buddha’s past lives, for children.
Our aim is to help young minds capture the essence of Buddhism at an early age. In every story the Bodhisatta, whether a hare, a deer, a monkey or a wise man, shows a good quality such as generosity (dāna), loving-kindness (mettā), patience, honesty or wisdom.

Each video is a picture storybook, gently animated and read aloud, with captions to read along. Every story ends with “What did we learn?”, three questions to talk about together, and one small thing to try that day.

Made for children to watch with parents, grandparents and teachers: at home, or at bedtime.

Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā. May all beings be happy.
