Plot

Everyone likes a good story. And this book has plenty of them, featuring people from all walks of life. There are stories about well-known sages and stories about ordinary people; tales that trelate remarkable events, and others that tell of simple actions which reflect the inner qualitites of the characters portrayed. Some are tales of excietment, escape and rescue; others are about ordiary, day to day life.
But what all these stories have in common is their power to educate, to teach and to isnprie. The reader is swept along and caught up in the protagonist's own dilemma. And when each story draws to ist satisfactory close, the reader, along with the character, breathes a sigh of relief; another of the countless trials which every mortal must nvigate in his seric eof Heaven has been encountered and has been conquered.
