exa.. Story of abandon baby to physician of Buddha and king bimbisara
"
The story of Jivaka. the famous physician comes to us from the time of the Buddha. In the
city of Rajagriha (Rajgur, near Patna) there was a prince named Abhaya. He saw an
abandoned baby on a street. He brought him home and ordered the maid servants to take
care of the child. The boy was called Jivaka.
When Jivaka grew up, he wondered what he should do for a living. He decided that he
would become a physician (Vaidya). In those days Taxila was a famous centre of learning.
Jivaka decided to go there to learn medicine.
Jivaka stayed in Taxila for seven years. He studied hard under the guidance of a famous
medicine man. At the end of his apprenticeship his teacher took a test. He asked Jivaka to
look around the surroundings at Taxila and bring some plants which could not be used for
medicinal purposes. Jivaka went out and looked about as carefully as he could for some
plants which were useless for medicine. When he returned the teacher asked him. "How
many plants did you find?" Jivaka said. "Sir, I could not find a single plant which did not
have any medicinal value". The teacher was very pleased and said that his education was
complete.
jivaka came back to Rajagriha. In Rajagriha Jivaka became the private physician of the King
Bimbisara. Bimbisara was so impressed with his skill that he used to send him to look after
'the Buddha"
No issue dear..again time is a huge factor which I don't have at the moment.
good intention is first to change..
may be now you can fulfill you immediate priorities and then work out some plan for this cause ..
sustain /long term programe need time, energy , money , planing . dedicated souls.. so its take time ...
just keep that flame .. and ignite the candle / lamp whenever you get right time and opportunity.
