The Woman who Abducted Children

 

































Many, many years ago there was a woman who made her living by abducting children. 

The Buddha heard about his woman and decided to teach her a lesson by abducting her own child.  When the woman came home and found her child missing, she was distraught with anxiety and wept bitterly.  The Buddha said to the woman:

-See how miserable you are to lose your child.  Now do you understand how others suffer when you take away their children?

The woman immediately realized the error of her ways, and promised the Buddha that, from then on, she would never abduct children again. (thesoulandyou.blogspot.com - Source: Thư Viện Hoa Sen)
