Most kids know of the Buddha, but do they really know the true qualities of the Buddha? For the first time, the Buddha's 10 merits defining his title in the "World-Honored One" and the 4 "Muni" qualities in his Shakyamuni name are brought to a children's reading level in this fun and beautifully illustrated book. The virtuous qualities of the Buddha are presented through the meanings of his names and titles in Siddhartha, Shakyamuni, Buddha, Tathagata, and the World-Honored One. The Buddha's merits of awakening, mindfulness, wisdom, patience, and compassion (just to name a few) are explained so kids can understand and remember to follow his footsteps. Each merit is coupled with funny life examples so kids can relate to and learn to develop. From the examples, kids will realize that they have an innate Buddha-nature and can experience the same awakening as the Buddha! Have your child's Buddha-nature shine by learning and practicing to achieve the 10 merits of the World-Honored One and the 4 Muni qualities in Shakyamuni.

A MUST-READ BOOK to teach your child to practice the Buddha's virtues of awakening, mindfulness, patience, compassion, and more!
