Little Ba Ca Gia meets the Buddha

 

































One day, the Buddha came to a village.  He had such a kind and gentle appearance that all the children in the village were immediately attracted to him.  

They jostled with each other to get near the Buddha and talk to him.  The Buddha was strikingly handsome and graceful.  A bright light seemed to radiate from his whole body.  A little boy named Ba Ca Gia was so impressed by the Buddha that he asked: -What must I do to become a Buddha like You?

The Buddha smiled, and answered:

-You must follow my teachings, never be unkind and keep a pure heart. Then you may become a Buddha like me.

Ba Ca Gia was filled with joy, and asked the Buddha to let him become a follower and learn his teachings.
