hello..
In the 40-plus years of his life after enlightenment, the BuddhaShakayamuni is said to have recounted almost 554 past life stories, (called Jataka tales) of his prior existences. Gautama Bodhisattva is quoted as saying a person starts the journey to become a Buddha filling 10 Paramita or "perfections".
The Jātaka tales are a voluminous body of literature native to India concerning the previous births of Gautama Buddha in both human and animal form. ... The term Jātaka may also refer to a traditional commentary on this book.
