The Short March to Wisdom
by Venerable Yung Dong and Marjorie Jacobs
Illustrated by Peter Martin
The Short March to Wisdom is an excellent tool for teaching Buddhist concepts and ethics to young adults. Instead of heavy-handed moralizing, this book presents the reader with open-ended questions to help examine the deeper meaning behind each story, allowing readers to take charge of their learning and growth.
《通往智慧的捷徑》是一本專門為了對青少年教學佛學設計的書。對於略顯沉重的戒律等話題，這本書用輕鬆的故事和開放式的提問，讓青少年讀者可以通過思維和討論，找尋到正確的答案。
