-ooOoo-

Oldtimer years of previous lives, the Bodhisattva in the country Seri, wholesale occupation flaked away and is called Serivan bowl. Serivan with a merchant selling greedy smashed another bowl, crossing rivers leading into Andhapura Talavaha, divide the roads in the city, selling their goods in the road has been divided. The other path to receive their part. In this city, there is a family of millionaires deteriorating. All boys, me, you are lost and property clean. The survivors are a daughter and a grandmother, her two grandchildren living by working for others. But in the house with a golden bowl, great old millionaire who used to eat rice. Bat long he was thrown into the middle of the other dishes are not used to the filthy and covered with dust. They do not know that gold bowl. At that time, the other greedy merchant, was walking and Ad:

- Take water smashed, get smashed water.

And to the house door. The girl immediately told her you see the grandmother:

- Ma'am, get a jewelry for children.

- Dear relatives, we are very poor, and something to grab flaked change the water?

- Have a bowl of no help to us. Take this exchange flaking. She referred to the merchant, took the chair sit, put bowl raise him and said:

- Hey you, take this character and give her a little change.

Bowls merchant thought: "This can Bat gold", rotate the bowl in hand, scraping a road with a needle back bowls, bowls of gold know, who thinks: "There is no need for these people a nothing, I'll take the bowl, "he said:

- How much of this material? Its price is not worth half a penny.

But he threw the bowl to the ground, got up from his seat and left. Then, between the merchant has an agreement that when a person was on the road and then left, the other on that road may be. So the Bodhisattva enters this path, my pitch:

- Who took flaked water?

And went to the door of that house. Her grandmother told her daughter as before. Grandmother told her:

- Dear relatives, the merchant to advance to the ground and threw the bowl away, now we can give something to get?

- Ma'am, the merchant other harsh speech. This person also has the cute appearance, speak softly. Chances are this person possess.

- So let's call them back.

She called this person.

When this position at home and sit, they bring the bowl to see. This position is known golden bowl then said:

- Dear mother, this bowl is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. I do not have in my hand the value of goods in this bowl.

- Hey you, the merchant went to the front saying this is not worth half a coin, was thrown to the ground bowl away. Now this bowl his merit, became golden. So we gave him this bowl. Tell us a little bit of something, grab a bowl and leave.

At that time Bodhisattva in hand eight hundred gold coins and goods worth five hundred gold coins, immediately brought to all and said:

- Let me keep the balance, basket and eight gold coins.

After applying these things, and he picked up the bowl and leave. He went quickly to the river, the boat owner money and climb eight boats. Then the greedy merchant back and said:

- Take the bowl out here, I will give the people a little something. But the old lady who yelled at him:

- Note that the golden bowl worth a hundred of us are not worth the price of thousands of half a penny! But a true merchant, like teacher pay, gave us a thousand pieces of gold, grab a bowl and leave it.

Heard so, who was coal:

- I've lost golden bowl worth a hundred thousand gold coins before. It was called robbery has hurt us.

Greedy merchant concerns that arise grief, unable to concentrate the mind, becomes insane, manually scattered gold coins and commodities that door, throw away clothing, gowns, and hand holding the balance as the stick to follow the path of the Bodhisattva, to the waterfront. Seeing the Bodhisattva was crossing the river, who was crying dose:

- O you ferryman, come back. But the Bodhisattva stop and say:

- Do not return.

Seeing the Bodhisattva gradually go away, melancholy anxiety of those that arise, burning heart, hot blood flowing out of his mouth and his heart cracked like the mud at the bottom of a water tank. Because hatred against the Bodhisattva mind, who was on the spot shared destiny. This is the first time Devadatta has hatred against the Bodhisattva mind. And the Bodhisattva, as the merit life as alms ... and followed his career.
