中文简介:
小熊在漫长的冬季睡眠后醒来,与他的朋友蝴蝶一起踏上了旅程。“我们要去哪里?”小熊问道。“"每段旅程都有它的秘密目的地,”蝴蝶说。 他们穿过森林,爬上陡峭的山峰,穿过一条大河。蝴蝶总是能够提供克服困难、面对恐惧或者在当下获得智慧的建议。 小熊有些不耐烦,但他还是认真倾听蝴蝶的见解。
随着旅程的进行,季节不断变化,从春天到夏天,再到秋天。 当第一场雪开始飘落时,小熊和蝴蝶发现自己在一个山洞外。“我不认识这个山洞吗?”小熊问。“用不同的眼光看待风景,会有不同的感受。”蝴蝶说。 小熊蜷缩起来,他的眼睛感到沉重。“当我下次醒来时,你还会在这里吗?”他问。“从某种意义上来说是的,从某种意义上来说不是。”一段旅程的结束,是另一段旅程的开始。
这是一本温馨的故事,讲述了友谊、生命和存在的循环和周期。它是一个甜蜜而平静的睡前故事,向小读者介绍了佛教哲学和价值观。
英文简介:
Bear wakes up after his long winter's sleep and joins his friend, Butterfly, on a journey. Where are we going? Asks bear. All journeys have secret destinations, says Butterfly. They walk through the forest, climb a steep mountain and cross a great river. At all points, Butterfly has wisdom to offer about overcoming hardship, facing ones' fears, or being in the moment. Bear is impatient, but he listens and mulls over Butterfly's insights.
As they walk, the seasons change; from spring to summer and then to autumn. As the first snow begins to fall, Bear and Butterfly find themselves outside a cave. Don't I recognise this cave? asks bear. Landscapes look different with different eyes, says Butterfly. Bear curls up, his eyes heavy. Will you be here when I wake up, he asks. In some senses yes and in some senses no, replies Butterfly. The end of one journey is the beginning of another.
This is a heartwarming book about friendship and about circles and cycles of life and being. It is a sweet and calming bedtime story that introduces Buddhist philosophies and values to young readers.
