+It's absurd!
-Bowie describes how her first reaction to the tale was to ignore it, given the questionable actions of Vessantara, who even went so far as to give his wife and children away to a beggar. However, upon further research, she discovered that the retelling of this tale in northern Thailand contained humor via political satire and antiroyalist themes. In this interview, Bowies relates the historical reasons for this type of retelling, the challenges it faced, and how it changed over the centuries.

+Today is Āsāḷha Pūjā, the last day before the annual rains retreat, and to celebrate the occasion I'm happy to announce a significant expansion of our _free_ library into the history of Buddhism and the workings of the mind with the launch of **seven** new bibliographies:
+
+# Medieval Buddhism
+We can divide the history of Buddhism very roughly into three periods: its early growth in India, its spread across Asia, and finally its global spread in the modern era.
+Building on our earlier bibliographies covering the [first](/tags/indian) and [last](/tags/west) of these periods, today I'm happy to announce our new
+[**"Medieval Buddhism"** bibliography](/tags/medieval)
+covering the religion's development outside of India.
+
+The works listed cover many critical questions, such as
+[what role Buddhism played in medieval Society](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/articles/buddhism-society-in-medieval-estate-system_toshio-kuroda)
+and even
+[how good scholars came to write apocryphal sūtras](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/articles/t309_nattier-jan).
+
+# Theravada Roots
+For those interested exclusively in [**the history of the Theravāda tradition**](/tags/theravada-roots),
+we are pleased to provide a bibliography focusing on its history in particular.
+
+It explores [the sometimes surprising politics](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/av/beggars-and-buddhas-politics-humor-in-vessantara-jataka-in-thailand_bowie-katherine-a)
+around the Pali texts.
+
+# The Theravada Canon
+And for those interested in diving into the Pāli texts themselves, we've pleased to now provide three new bibliographies on
+[the rebirth stories](/tags/rebirth-stories) and [beautiful poetry](/tags/canonical-poetry)
+found in the Pāli Canon, as well as a bibliography on [Abhidhamma Studies](/tags/abhidhamma)
+and [a lecture series on the Visuddhimagga](https://buddhistuniversity.net/series/visuddhimagga-for-sutta-lovers_sujato).
+
+In particular, I'd like to highlight here a new project by our friend "ReadingFaithfully" to create [a comprehensive index of the entire Sutta Pitaka](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/reference/cips).
+The project is not yet complete, but is already a wonderful resource for exploring the Suttas and is highly recommended!
+
+# The Intellect
+And for those looking for a more secular explanation for the workings of the thinking mind,
+[**The Intellect** bibliography](/tags/intellect)
+collects a number of works exploring how we learn
+[(or un-learn!) according to science](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/articles/belief-traps-tackling-inertia-of-harmful_scheffer-marten-et-al).
+
+
+# Media Literacy
+Because in [**Today's Multimedia World**](/tags/media) (another bibliography!),
+where
+[rank misinformation](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/av/climate-denial_hbomberguy) (another great video!)
+and ["attention fracking"](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/av/attention-fracking_burnett-d-g) (<- a stirring conversation!)
+are increasing,
+it's more important than ever to equip ourselves with real understanding and mindfulness.
+
+# Stay Safe out there!
+To that end, I hope that the above resources are helpful for you and I hope that you have much time over the coming months to peacefully practice according to the Buddha's precious instructions.
+
+And, just in case it isn't peaceful, [here are a few first-aid tips](https://buddhistuniversity.net/content/booklets/comprehensive-first-aid_red-cross) which I sincerely hope never become useful for you!
+
+Wishing you the best this *vassa*,
