CATU-DVĀRA-JĀTAKA.


Kisah ini diceritakan oleh Sang Guru ketika berada di Jetavana, tentang seseorang yang tidak patuh.
Di sini Sang Guru bertanya kembali kepada bhikkhu tersebut, “Apakah benar seperti yang mereka katakan bahwa Anda tidak patuh?”
“Ya, Bhante.” “Di masa lampau,” Beliau berkata, “ketika dengan tidak patuh Anda menolak untuk melakukan permintaan orang bijak, sebuah roda pisau diberikan kepadamu.”
Dan Beliau menceritakan sebuah kisah masa lampau.

Dahulu kala, di masa kehidupan Buddha Kassapa, hiduplah  seorang  saudagar  di  kota  Bārāṇasi (Benares)  yang memiliki kekayaan sebesar delapan ratus juta rupee dan memiliki seorang putra yang bernama Mittavindaka. Ayah dan ibu dari laki-laki ini telah mencapai kesucian tingkat pertama (sotāpanna), sedangkan ia sendiri adalah orang yang jahat, seseorang yang tidak mau percaya.

An amazing Love Story

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due  to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, 
she thought, please, let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. "would you please give me  some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face  turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked  him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near   the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my  hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there". While  saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.

I've fallen in love with you and I'll never let you go. I love you more than anyone, I just had to let you know. And if you ever wonder why, I don't know what I'll say, but I'll never stop loving you, each and every day
