For the Buddhist

traditions, the Jatakas

illustrate the many

lives, acts and spiritual

practices which are

required on the long

path to Buddhahood.

They also illustrate the

Buddha (such as

generosity) and teach

Buddhist moral

lessons, particularly

within the framework

of karma and rebirth.
