Jataka Tales and Buddha's Teaching are considered among the best of the world.
The overriding reason for this is the ensemble of truths they enshrine and their transparent, minimalistic and yet deeply perceptive and deeply generalized simplicity.
The way to truth lies in removing our biased and prejudiced preconceptions, our ignorance and compulsive desire. To unwrap things as they are with and promote disinterestedness is simplicity.
Whatever is simple and true can safeguard and promote all sentient beings. There are problems here on earth. But equally true is the fact that there are solutions. But this depends on our constant effortfulness, our restraint, our character, our consciousness and our willpower.
Thought has the power to rule this world. Where we are ruled by irrationality, problems arise. Problems dissolve with rationality. This rationality and irrationality have to do with our work and our duty.
Mind is the key to all well-being. Mind is the leader. Bodisattwa poses the following question to himself: Where does man's basic problem lie? Why are we deprived of truth? What does 'truth behind the actual truth' mean? Why is it not visible to us? Why do things like selfish desire, ignorance, dirt, and delusions bind us!?

C.H. Rajashekhar (66) has stamped his own class on Kannada literature. Not just in Kannada his mother tongue, but in the whole of Indian literature he has given a new lease of life to the Buddhist Tripitaka literature. He is a visionary and absolutely fresh creative writer. He has called the bluff of the vested interests of one class of people. This is definitely an ambitious prelude to a change of era.
He has written in all 58 pieces. Of these 37 have to do with Buddhist literature. And three novels based on Tripitaka themes, three plays and three discursive pieces.
He has faithfully recreated the basic Buddhist philosophy and vision, in his own simple and beautiful way and in a way which is intelligible to the lay man, to the scholar and to kids. He has thus afforded a new dimension and shape to Buddhist literature.
He has stirred a new storm in Kannada literature with his creations. He has in fact been dubbed a 'story-writer of light." He has never given way to selfishness and publicity. With his talent he is a path-finder and history-maker.
He has opened himself up to world literature through these Buddhist volumes and it is up to the readership to accept or reject him.
