Tsering Paldron

The Adventures of Tashi, the Tibetan Cricket Tsering Paldron 1st edition

Have you met Tashi, the Tibetan cricket who lives in Ditza?s garden? He is a funny little cricket from Tibet, who does meditation and sings a mantra, a magic formula that transforms things and people. His mantra is Om Mani Peme Hum Hri and Ditza calls it the many penny mantra. Tachi, Ditza and Stripes, the cat, are best friends and have many adventures. Foreword "I like stories, and I especially like stories that have meaning; stories that are strange, funny and eventful. When I pick up a book like that I can?t put it down until I reach the last page; and then I?m sorry it is finished. These stories not only have the capacity to hold my attention in this way but they also give some understanding of the Ancient Wisdom which has been preserved in Tibet for over one thousand years. I do appreciate the way the book has been illustrated, and hope and wish that the stories will educate and entertain many people, both young and old. Ringu Tulku"
