Vissaasabhojana Jaataka |
The bodhisatva was once a rich merchant and had a herdsman guard his cows in a forest
shelter. They gave only little milk through fear of a lion which lived in the forest.
The merchant knew that the lion loved a doe, had her caught and rubbed her body with
poison. When she returned to the forest, the lion licked her body and died. The Buddha
related this story to the monks to show them the necessity for circumspection in
accepting gifts. |
