Summary	"[In this retelling of a classic Asian Buddhist tale,] Lokeshvara is a compassionate hero who lives above the moon. He tries to help all the beings he sees in the world but gets frustrated when he realises that he can't save everyone. Lokeshvara becomes so disheartened that he explodes into a thousand pieces. With a little help from a wise friend, the pieces are put back together in a way that can benefit even more beings than before. Lokeshvara's tale of compassion and resilience teaches us that even when we feel overwhelmed by the suffering we see in the world, we can still find creative ways to help those around us"--Provided by publisher.
