The Journey of Curious Philip Ajere LaBier - Hardcover

by Philip Keenan Abbott (Author)

The Journey of Curious Philip Ajere LaBier is a beautifully illustrated storybook inspired by the Noble Eightfold Path and based on real-life experiences with socially engaged Theravāda Buddhist monks in post-genocide Cambodia.

Through Philip's journey of curiosity, reflection, and learning, young readers are introduced to wisdom, compassion, mindfulness, and ethical living in an accessible and engaging way. Each chapter includes a story, journal reflection, learning objectives, and discussion questions, making this book ideal for classrooms, families, and peace-education programs.

Rooted in lived experience and participatory research with Buddhism for Education of Cambodia (BEC), this storybook gently teaches that peace, happiness, and social harmony begin within the mind and heart.
