482 Ruru-Miga Jātaka (JTA 187) The Treacherous Bankrupt Ashin Sarana:
Andre Thu’s drawing Once some bikkhus were talking about how Devadattha was very ungrateful and the buddha told that this was not the first time and that in the past there was a wealthy merchant who had a son but this son never learnt anything so when his parents died and he was of a certain age, he had to borrow money, but without a job he could not repay those people and they stopped giving money and demanded to have all of it back. The son decided that life was meaningless so he decided to throw himself into the Ganga river, but then he regretted his decision and a golden deer heard his outcry so he saved him but told him to not tell anyone where he was when he went back to his home, but the king had a prize to whoever told where a golden deer was so he betrayed the deer. The deer was surrounded but he spoke with the king and shamed the man but he still got his money and the deer was praised.Thiri Garris’s drawing Once, Devadatta was not appreciating the Buddha. The , the Buddha told a story of the past. Once, a man gambled, got poor and went to the diver to commit suicide. But, he was scared, and a deer rescued him. The deer was golden. He asked the man not to tell he’d seen him. The man promised not to tell. Then, the Queen dreamt of the deer. The king would give 1,000 coins to who gave info. The man instantly broke his promise. Then, the king was scared of the deer and took his arrow. The deer exposed the man’s trick. The king aimed his arrow again. The deer told him not to hurt him and give the man the reward. Then, the king granted the deer a boon. The deer asked all animals be free from harm. But, the farmers couldn’t grow crops. The deer ate them. The farmer told the deer, who said if a fiend is marked, not to eat the crops. The kind told the farmers to mark the fields.Kids’ drawing
