Kim Kyung-bin: The Wise Prince

“Mom, what is the epiphany? To a Buddhist the familiar word ‘ enlightenment ’ is foreign and difficult to a child in elementary school. The author, who has had difficulty finding a Buddhist story book that will answer his child’s questions, says that as a Buddhist major, she decided to write her own story at the level of her child's eyes. Before Buddha, young Siddhartha was born as a prince of India and was raised in love with his parents. And then you see the old man, the sick man, and the dead and their family, on the street, and you start to wonder deeply. “If I get sick, is it that bad and so hard? “If you never see someone you love as they do, you'll miss them very sad. Children are not comfortable understanding other people's feelings and expressing their feelings in a linguistic way. The book does not stop explaining the situation, but encourages children to be the characters in the book and share feelings with each other. They also read the mind directly so that children can name and speak their feelings. “Happiness is not big or big. Like a little flower on the street, a loving smile of a mother looking at her child, happiness is always there. We sometimes feel happy when we get something bigger and better than everyone else, or something we really want. But when the desire is not satisfied, it becomes even more frustrating. He says that happiness is the comfort and freedom that you can feel when you find a little happiness in your daily life and are satisfied with what you are.
