One night he left his father's house and was wandering about, He happened to wend his way towards Isipathana. 

The Blessed one who was staying at Isipathana, having arisen at dawn, was walking up and down in the open air. And the Blessed one saw Yashas, the noble youth coming from after giving utterance to his feelings.

Of Uruvella Kassyapa had a following of five hundred Jatilas, Nadi Kassyapa had three hundred Jatilas as his disciples and Gaya Kassyapa had two hundred Jatilas. Of these the chief was Uruvella Kassyapa.

One day the Blessed One thought himself taking the initiative and asked Kassyapa, "Are you an Arhant? If you are not an Arhant  what good is this Agnihotra going to do to you? 

Kassyapa said ," I don't know what is to be an Arhant? Will you explain it to me?

The Lord then told Kassyapa, " An Arhant is one who has conquered all the passions which disturb a man from pursuing the eight ford Path. 

Agnihotra cannot cleanse a man of his sins. Kassyapa was a proud person. But he did feel the force of the Blessed Lord's argument. Making his mind pliant and yielding, until at length prepared to be a vehicle of the true law, he confessed that his poor wisdom could not compare with the wisdom of the world honoured One.

And so, convinced at last, humbly submitting Uruvella Kassyapa accepted the doctrine of the Lord and became his followers. 

Following their master,  the followers of Kassyapa, virtuously submissive, in turn received the teaching of the law.  Kassyapa and all his followers were thus entirely converted.

Rajagraha was the capital of Seniya Bimbisara, King of Magadha. Having heard of the conversions of this large number of Jatiles, everyone in the city had begun to talk about the Blessed One.

In former days, Lord, to me when I was a prince, came this thiyght: O that I might be inaugurated king! That was my first aspiration, Lord, that is now fulfilled. '

And might then a holy one, a fully Enlightened One, come over into my kingdom! This was my second aspiration, Lord, that is now fulfilled. And might I minister to that Blessed One! 

That was my third aspiration, Lord, that is now fulfilled. And might he, the Blessed One, preach the Dhamma to me! This was my fourth aspirations, Lord, and that is now fulfilled. 

And might I understand the Dhamma of that Blessed One! This was my fifth aspiration, Lord, this is now fulfilled. These were my five aspirations, Lord, which I entertained in former days when I was a prince.

Wonderful Lord! Wonderful just as if one should step up, what had been overturned ,or should reveal what had been hidden, or should point out the way to one who had lost his way ,or should bring a lamp into the darkness, in order that those who had eyes might see things, thus has the Blessed One preached the Dhamma in many ways. 

I take refuge, Lord, in that Blessed One, and in the Dhamma, and in the fraternity of Bhikkus (monks) .May the Blessed One receive me from this day forth, while my life lasts, as a lay disciple who has taken refuge in him.

(A Courtesan Of Rajagraha)

Jeevaka was a son of Salvati, a courtesan of Rajagraha. Immediately after birth the child, being illegitimate, was placed in a basket and thrown on a dust - heap. 

A large number of people were standing by the dust - heap watching the child. Abhaya, the Rajakumara, happened to pass by the site. He questioned the people who said : It is alive. "

 For this reason the child was called Jeevaka. Abhaya adopted him and brought him up. When Jeevaka grew in age he learned how he was saved and was charged with the intense desire to qualify himself to save others. 

He therefore went to the University of Takashila without the knowledge and permission of Abhaya and studied medicine for seven years. Returning to Rajagraha he set up his practice as a doctor and within a very short time acquired a great name and fame in the profession.

Jeevaka was appointment physician to the king and Jung's women. But Jeevaka was greatly attracted to the Blessed Lord. 

Consequently he also acted as a physician to him and the Sangh. He became a disciple of the Lord. The Blessed Lord did not make him a Bhikku as he wanted him to remain free to tend to the sick and the wounded.

Conversion Causes

(Conversion Of Brahmins)

At the back of the Gridhrakutta mountains, near Rajagraha, there was a village, of some seventy or so families, all of them Brahmins. 

The Buddha wishing to convert these people, came to the place and sat down under a tree. The people seeing the dignity of his presence, and the glorious appearance of his body, flocked round him, on which he asked the Brahmins how long they had dwelt in the mountain there, and what their occupation was.

To this they replied :We have dwelt here during thirty generations past, and our occupation is to tend cattle. " If one of us dies, we assemble and pray that he may be born in the heaven of Brahma, and so escape further transmigrations." 

The Buddha replied :This is not a safe way, not by it can you benefit. The true ways is to follow me, become true ascetic, and practise complete self-esteem composure with a view to obtain Nirvana, "and then he added these lines. 

They who consider truth as that which is untrue, and regard that which is untrue as truth, this is but to adopt heretical opinions, and can never lead to true advantage.

Conversion Causes


But to know as truth that which is true, and to regard as false that which is false, this is perfect rectitude, and this shall bring true profit. Everywhere in the world there is death - there is no escape from it. 

To consider this as the condition of all states if being that there is nothing born but must die, and therefore, to desire to escape birth and death, this is to exercise one's self in Religious Truth.'

(Conversion Of Lowly Barber, Upali)

While going back Upali, the Barber thought : The Sakyans are a fierce people. If I go back with these ornaments they will kill me thinking that I have killed my companions and run away with their ornaments. 

Why should I not go the way these young men of the Sakya clan have gone.? " Why indeed should I not?" asked Upali to himself. And he led down the bundle of ornaments from his back, and hung it on a tree, saying :"Let him who finds it take it as a gift," and returned to follow the Sakya youths.

And the Sakyans saw him coming from afar, and on seeing, they said to him : What have you come back for, good Upali? " 

Then he told them what he felt and they replied : Thou has done well, good Upali, in that thou didst not return, for the Sakyans are fierce, and they might have killed thee. " 

And they took Upali the Barber with them to the place where the Blessed One was. And on arriving there, they bowed down before the Blessed One and took their seats on one side. 

And so seated they said to the Blessed One : We Sakyans, Lord, are haughty. And this Upali, the barber, has long been an attach, Lord, upon us. 

May the Blessed One admit him to the Order before us, so that we may render him respect and reverence, and bow down with outstretched hands before him as our senior and thus shall the Sakyans pride be humbled in us!

There lived in Rajagraha a scavenger by name Sunita. He earned his living as a road sweepper, sweeping away the rubbish thrown by the householders on the roadside. 

His was a low and hereditary occupation. One day in the early hours of the dawn the Blessed One rose, dressed himself and walked into Rajagraha for alms followed by a large number of Bhikkus.

Now Sunita was cleaning the street, collecting scraps, rubbish, and so on into heaps and felling therewith the basket which he carried in a yoke. 

And when he saw the Master and his train approaching, his heart was filled with joy and awe.

Finding no place to hide in on the road, he placed his yoke in a bend in the wall and stood as if stuck to the wall, saluting the Lord with clasped hands. 

Then the Lord when he had come near, spoke to him in voice divinely sweet, saying :Sunita!  What to you is this wretched mode of living? Can you endure to leave home and come into the order? "

And Sunita, experiencing the rapture of one who has been sprinkled with Ambrosia ,said : "If even such as the Exalted One may in this life take Orders, why should I not? May the Exalted One suffer me to come forth. " 

Then the Master said : "Come Bhikku!" And Sunita by the word received sanction and ordination and was invested with bowl and robes.

(The Untouchable Sopaka And Suppiya's Conversion)

The Blessed Lord One day happened to pass by the cemetery. Sopaka seeing the Lord, approached him. After saluting the Lord he asked his permission to join him as his disciple. 

Sopaka was then only seven years old. So the Lord asked him to obtain his father's consent. Sopaka went and fetched his father. The father saluted the Lord and requested himy to admit his son to the Ordefr.

But it shall be subject to eight conditions. Let Mahaprajapati Gotami take upon herself the responsibility of enforcing the Eight Chief Rules .That will be her initiation. "

Just, Ananda, as a man or a woman, when young and of tender years, accustomed to adorn himself, would, when he had bathed his head, receive with both hands a garland of lotus flowers, or of jasmine flowers or of stimutaka flowers ,and placed it on the top of his head, even so do I, Ananda, take upon me these Eight Chief Rules ,never to be transgressed during my lifelong, " said Mahaprajapati to Ananda.

Then the Venerable Ananda returned to the Blessed One, and bowed down before him, and took his seat, on one side. 

And, so sitting, the Venerable Ananda said to the Blessed One :Mahaprajapati Gotami, Lord, has taken upon herself the responsibility for the enforcement of the Eight Chief Rules, she may therefore be regarded as having received the Upasampada initiation ,"(entry to Sangha)

There was, in the realm of Pasenadi, king of Kosala, a robber named Angulimala, a ruffian whose hands were red with blood, who was always killing and wounding ,and showed no mercy to any living creatures. 

Because of him, what had villages were villages no more, what had been township were townships no more, and what had been countryside was countryside no more. 

From every human being whom he slew, he took a finger to make for himself a necklace, and so got his name of " Angulimala ".

When the two met the Lord said : " I have stopped, Angulimala, for your sake .Will you stop following your career of an evil doer? 

I have been pursuing you in order to win you over, to cover you to the path of righteousness. The good in you is not yet dead. If you will only give it a chance it will transform you. 

Angulimala felt overcome by the words of the Blessed One, saying, " At last this sage has tracked me down.

And now that thy hallowed words ask me to renounce evil deeds forever, I am prepared to give myself a trial, " replied Angulimala.  

Angulimala threw into a deep abyss the string of his victims ' fingers which he wore round his neck and fell at the Master's feet and craved admission to the Brotherhood. 

The Lord, the guide of gods and men, said :" Alsman, follow me", and Alsman since that summons Angulimala did become .

Cross The Existence - The flood by faith and purifies by wisdom only cross the existence

Once the Blessed Lord was dwelling in the realm of the Yakkha Alavaka in the town of Alavi. 

Then the Yakkha Alavaka approached the Blessed Lord and having approached him,  " said thus : Get Out, O Monk  !

The Blessed Lord departed, saying : "Very Well, friend.
" The Yakkha then ordered  " Enter, O Monk. " The Blessed Lord entered, saying : " Very well, friend."

Buddha And Yakkha Alavaka -


I shall put a question to you, monk., if you don't answer my question, I will drive you out of your wits or I will tear your heart, or I will take you by the feet and throw you to the other side of the river, " said the angry Yakkha.

I do not see, friend, anyone in the world who could drive me out of my wits or tear out my heart, or take me by the feet and throw me across the river. 

Still, friend, you may put any question you like. Then the Yakkha asked the Lord the following questions :

What is the noblest wealth for man in this world? What pure action brings happiness? 

What is the sweetest of all test? What manner of living is said to be the noblest living?

The Lord replied :Faith is the noblest wealth for man in this world. 

The Dhamma well observed brings happiness. Truth is the sweetest of all tastes. 

The living endowed with wisdom is said to be the noblest thing.

Yakkha asked : " How does one cross the flood(rebirth)? How does one cross the sea (existence)?  

How does one overcome suffering?

The Lord replied : " One crosses the flood by Faith. One crosses the sea by vigilance. 

One overcomes suffering by Exertion. One purifies oneself by wisdom.

Yakkha Alavaka  asked: " How does One acquire knowledge?  How does one obtain wealth?  How does one attain fame?  

How does one gain friends?  Passing from these world to the other world after death, how does one not repent? "

The Lord replied : "Having faith in Arhants and the Dhamma for the attainment of Nibbana, and by obedience, the diligent, attentive person acquires wisdom.

One who does what is proper, one who is resolute, one who is awake, he acquires wealth. One who gives acquires friends. 

The faithful householder in whom truthfulness ,righteousness, patience and generosity are found, he does not repent after death.

Come on!  Also consult other numerous monks and Brahmans,weather there are any other qualities higher than truth, self -control, charity and patience. "

Yakkha said : "Now, why should I consult various Brahmins and monks?  Today I know the prosperity which belongs to my future good. Indeed!  the Buddha came to the dwelling of Alavi for my benefit. 

Today I know, to whom when given, it returns the greatest fruit.

The goal of Buddhism is to end suffering, achieve Nirvana, and escape a cycle of suffering and rebirth.

Feelings, in our way of life, are considered as female and, on the grounds that our way of life is as yet overwhelmed by a male centric valuation framework where levelheadedness, objectivity and thought are valued over their "appearing contrary energies", subjectivity, feeling and instinct, we have far to go, as a culture, to esteem and be associated with our enthusiastic states. 

In the expanse of feeling that is accessible to us as people, many consider feelings to be something that should be controlled in case it "dominate" or overpower us, much like a sea wave.

Well fortunately the more comfortable we get with our feelings, the more agreeable, the less they take steps to overpower us similarly. 

It's additionally similar to acclimating ourselves with being in the sea

At the point when waves go to a surfer, on the off chance that they are experienced, they realize how to ride the wave as opposed to getting sucked under and tossed to the sea floor or suffocated. 

I envision, notwithstanding, that paving the way to that capacity to really surf were numerous off-kilter even difficult or unnerving minutes. 

Conclusion -

So the lesson of this short story is that We are consistently bustling asking our materialistic necessities from the Lord, rather we ought to approach him for independence from this pattern of life and passing. 

Which we as a whole are battling for! Hence wisdom and faith always help to cross the existence .
