The first story tells an evil thought that triggered the death of a two-headed bird. The Buddha used the story of His previous life to teach the disciples that the most difficult thing is to control our mind. Only when we willingly work hard to eliminate greed, anger and ignorance can we eliminate our afflictions.
The story of Buy Wisdom illustrates that the value of the truths of life cannot be measured. We must mindfully consider the principles and always keep them in our hearts. If we make the most of our potential, we will be happy and at ease with ourselves. Such a feeling is most precious.
