• The Bodhisattva and the Hungry Tigress Aug 9, 2025

  

  Long ago, in the ancient kingdom of Kushinagar, there lived a wise and benevolent king who ruled with justice and compassion. The king had three sons, each blessed with different virtues, but the youngest prince, Mahasattva, was renowned throughout the land for his extraordinary kindness and his deep concern for the suffering of all living beings.

  Prince Mahasattva was not content to live a life of royal luxury while others suffered. From his earliest years, he had shown an unusual sensitivity to pain and hardship, whether it was experienced by humans, animals, or any living creature. His heart was so full of compassion that he could not bear to see suffering without doing everything in his power to alleviate it.
