Thinzar M’s drawing Once some bhikkhus were talking about how Devadatta tried to take the Buddhas life and the Buddha told them it was not the first time and told a story of the past. Once the Buddha was the kings advisor and he helped a man that was wrongly accused and because of that the king made the advisor the judge. The old judge was upset and accused the judge multiple times but the king did not believe him. One day he came to the kings room and said that the old advisor was making a coup to take the throne and the king saw a big crowd so he asked the old judge what to do so the old judge told him to make him make a garden in by tomorrow. The old advisor didn’t know what to do so Sakka came down to help him and again they made him make something and each time Sakka helped but then they told him to find a person that knows the four great virtues or eles he would die.Thiri Garris’s drawing One time, an artisan named Chattapanni had the four great virtues. The king asked what they were. They are, no alcohol, no envy, no anger and have no desire.Kids’ drawing
