The Bodhisatta was once a minister of the king of Benares. Noticing that the king was slothful, the Bodhisatta took a tortoise as an object lesson, showing him how the indolent came to misery. The story was related in reference to a monk who was slothful regarding his duties. J. iii.139f. Updated: 15 September 2011 http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/g/gajakumbha_jat_345.htm |
