In the past life the prince and his wife were exiled and the prince had an affair with a Kinnari. The wife said that man was a fool and I don’t need him.And she went to ascetic’s house nearby and learned meditation. Under his guidance, she was liberated and free from the attachments.Thinzar M’s drawing Once a supporters of the Buddha had a beautiful daughter who married a man that was not content staying with her. So the daughter ordained and soon became a arahat. Some of the bhikkhus talked about how she did this all because of her husband and the Buddha hearing this told a story of the past. Once there was a prince who surrounded himself with many ceremonies and the king ordered him to leave and take the throne when he dies so the prince went to the forest with his wife but the prince saw a kinnari and forgot he had a wife so he started asking the kinnari to marry him and the wife seeing this left and went to a ascetic meditated and became a arahat. She went back and told her husband that because of his feckless nature she was able to rid of passion and then left him.Kids’ drawing
