The Jakatas are tales of previous lives of the Buddha when he was still a bodhisattva. They illustrate how behaviour in former lives influences the circumstances of our present life due to the law of cause and effort or karma. The Jatakas number four hundred and seventy and are the largest part of the Sutra Pitaka, the second of the “Three Baskets” (Tripitaka) that the Buddha gave as an antidote to three fundamental mind poisons.
