215. The Bodhisatta And The Queen Gentle Heart

Once on a time when Brahmadatta was reigning in Benares, the Bodhisatta was born into a rich Brahmin family in the Kasi country. When he was grown up and had finished his education, he renounced all Lusts, and, forsaking the world for the hermit’s life, went to live in the solitudes of the Himalayas. There by due fulfillment of all preparatory forms of meditation, he won by abstract thought the Higher Knowledge and the ecstatic Attainments; and so lived his life in the bliss of mystic insight.
