Mahavira: The Hero of Nonviolence
by Manoj JainImagine a world where no one gets hurt, a world where no one is teased or bullied, a world where there is no fear or anger. Six centuries before the birth of Jesus, in the faraway land of India, there lived a great spiritual teacher name Mahavira (which means &“very brave&”), who imagined just such a world. He showed kindness to every living being and emphasized the practice of nonviolence, compassion, and forgiveness. The religion of Mahavira was called Jainism. Mahavira was born a prince, but because he had such deep love and respect for all living creatures, he renounced his wealth and power to become a wandering monk. The Jain teachings of Mahavira became very popular. He taught three important lessons: that one should have love and compassion for all living things; that one should not be too prideful of one&’s own point of view because the truth has many sides; and that one should not be greedy and should avoid attachment to possessions. Today Jainism has more than 10 million adherents throughout the world. In following the example of Mahavira, Jains practice a vegetarian diet and are committed to sound ecological and environmental practices. Mahavira&’s lessons on nonviolence and compassion still have a profound impact around the globe, and he is credited with influencing Mahatma Gandhi, who in turn inspired Martin Luther King, Jr.Beautifully brought to life by the delicate paintings of Demi and the powerful yet simple narrative of nationally recognized writer, Manoj Jain, the story of Mahavira&’s life will provide a shining example of how one spiritual teacher&’s noble ideals can echo throughout the ages.

Mahtab's Story
by Libby GleesonMahtab was hollow. Empty, as if her flesh and blood, her energy that kept her breathing and running, thinking and talking, was gone. Nothing was in its place. She was hungry for food but she knew that she would bring it back up. Not because she was on a small boat, rocking on the rough sea of a broad ocean,but because the will to hold it inside her was gone. She was hungry. Hungry for water, for her father, for her grandmother, her aunts and uncles, for the trees in the back yard, the cabinet against the wall, the silver and glass objects so lovingly collected, for her mountains, the jagged peaks that cut the sky.Her father was dead. She felt sure of it. She was just a speck of dirt on the floor, drifting through the gap between the boards, falling to the ground.
