Bhutan: Country's literature for children stands as beacon of nation’s heritage, spirituality

| @indiablooms | Jun 10, 2023, at 12:00 am

Bhutan's children’s literature stands as a beacon of the nation’s heritage and spirituality of the Himalayan nation.

This unique genre of storytelling, deeply rooted in the principles of Buddhism, has been significant in sharing the values of compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness with young people. Oral storytelling has remained a staple of Bhutanese culture for centuries, reports ANI.

Tales of mythical creatures, courageous heroes, and enlightened sages have been transmitted from one generation to another, entertaining children and teaching them the virtues of kindness, honesty, and generosity, The Bhutan Live reported as quoted by ANI.

These stories are being recorded in children’s books, preserving them for future generations and enabling them to reach a wider audience. The themes found in Bhutanese children’s literature demonstrate Buddhism. Karma, reincarnation, and the impermanence of life are commonly explored topics in the literature.
