1.14 Sumana

Her story is similar to that of Theri Tissa. Sending his radiant ethereal form, the Master(Buddha) revealed himself as if seated in front of her, and spoke:

Have you not seen sorrow and suffering in all The springs of life? Come you not back to birth! Cast out the passionate desire again to Be. So shall you go your ways calm and serene. (14)
