This paper explains how the comic book published by Fo Guang Shan, The Ten Great Disciples, and its depiction of the esteem of eminent monks, can serve as a model of Buddhist Life Education for the present day. This paper analyses the combinations of imagery as well as symbolism, and argues that both embody the essence of the esteem of eminent monks whilst also conveying the meaning of Buddhist concepts. With regards to being examples of the modern-day practice of Buddhist Life Education, the author discusses two aspects. First, the interaction between words and pictures helps one find personal answers and inspiration for one’s spiritual quest. Second, through comprehension and acceptance of this comic book, it can serve as a model of Buddhist Life Education, exemplifying the life pursuit of wisdom, learning, and spiritual cultivation.
