👉 The term "Jataka" refers to a collection of stories or anecdotes in Buddhist philosophy that illustrate the teachings and practices of various teachers, including the Buddha. These stories are often used as a way for the practitioners to learn from the wisdom of their predecessors and to improve their own understanding of the teachings. The Jataka tales are usually told by a group of monks or nuns who have studied under different teachers and have compiled them into a collection to be passed down through generations.
