The Oxherd Boy: Parables of Love, Compassion, and Community

內容簡介

內容簡介 ✰ 跨越千年的中華智慧 ✰ 撫慰人心的寓言故事 「有時候，你只能做一些微不足道的事。但正是這些事，能帶來巨大的改變。」 一位牧童與家裡的耕牛、花園的兔子互相扶持，共同探索「愛、慈悲與社群」的真諦。透過道家、佛家與儒家的視角審視世界，他們之間的對話既溫暖又鼓舞人心，指引我們度過人生的十字路口。 故事中，他們收養麻雀、幫助鄰居、做家務、在河邊沐浴，不同視角在對話中交織碰撞：牧童的道家思想崇尚自然萬物，耕牛的佛家慈悲心懷眾生，兔子的儒家思想強調尊重和關懷。雖然他們不總是意見一致，但朋友們最終領悟到，生命的意義源於生活本身，以及彼此間的真誠互動。 台灣裔美國藝術家 Regina Linke 採用現代風格插畫，這種畫風是世界上最古老的藝術形式之一，描繪三個摯友的家園，以及充滿詩意與神秘氣息的永恆國度。Inspired by thousands of years of Chinese thought, an enchanting and heart-opening illustrated fable about a young boy who explores the many ways to make meaning and find joy in the everyday.Sometimes you can only do a small, small thing. And that can make all the difference.In these exquisitely illustrated parables grounded in the three pillars of Chinese philosophy, a young boy, his family ox, and a rabbit living in his garden help each other navigate the daily work of love, compassion, and community. Examining the world through the lenses of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, their conversations convey tender, uplifting messages for life's various crossroads.As they adopt a sparrow, bathe in rivers, comfort their neighbors, and tend to their chores, the characters' different perspectives are reflected in their conversations: the boy's Taoist love of nature and all it entails, the ox's Buddhist compassion for others, and the rabbit's Confucian practice of mutual respect and care. While they don't always agree, the friends settle on the basic truth that purpose comes from simply engaging with life--and with each other.Painted in a contemporary gongbi style, one of the oldest continuous art forms in the world, the atmospheric illustrations from Taiwanese American artist Regina Linke conjure a timeless, mystical land where the friends have made their home. The potent combination of magnificent art and gentle revelations will capture the hearts of readers, whatever their age.
