077 Mahā-Supina Jātaka (JTA 1.33) The Sixteen Dreams Ashin Sarana:
Valentina’s drawing One morning, when the brahmins went to the palace to pay respect to King Pasenadi, they saw him lying on his bed in terror, and they asked him whether he had a good sleep. The king replied that he did not have a good sleep, and had dreamed sixteen dreadful dreams, which he told them about. The brahmins said that they were evil dreams and were offering sacrifices to him, when Queen Mallika suggested that King Pasenadi should tell the Buddha about these dreams. When he went to the Buddha, he told him that his first dream was about a bullfight, but the bulls never really fought. The second dream was about tiny trees and shrubs which burst through the soil, and the third dream was about cows sucking milk from their very own new-born calves. His fourth dream was about men unyoking a team of strong, sturdy oxen, and replacing them with young steers, too weak to draw the load, and his fifth dream was about an incredible horse with a mouth on each side of its head, being fed fodder on both sides. The Buddha told the king that all of these five dreams do not have an impact on him right now and will happen only in the future.Emily’s drawing Once there was a king who wanted to know what his dreams meant , but a Buddha said that those dreams would happen in the future. So, it was a bad future. Then the Buddha said a long time ago someone had those same dreams and said there was nothing to be afraid of.Kids’ drawing
