Buddhist tales have much to recommend them. Here’s one about a young woman named Tae On, whose beloved brother returned from war traumatized, a shadow of himself. He barely ate, and slept hardly at all. Mostly he sat and stared into space. “This is not my brother,” Tae On said. “This is s ghost. I must do something to help him. But what?" So begins the story of Tae On’s courageous journey to reclaim her brother’s spirit – a journey of selflessness, ingenuity, love and courage. Oh yes, there’s a fierce tiger involved, and great peril. But is the story really about the tiger and his whisker . . . or is it about something else? Read on and make up your own mind.
