Assaka Jataka (#207)
A story the Buddha told a monk who could not seem to forget his deceased wife.
Wat San Fran is proud to present stories taken from the Jatakas, Dhammapada, and Buddhist history. These stories often use past rebirth stories (Jatakas) to reveal the connection between past and present, and illustrate the relationship between cause and effect.

Love it. So many dungworms in my life. My foolish attachments bring me misery.

[@Koekie5616]

I heard this story so many times, and it still touches my heart

[@watsanfran]

We are glad that our animations are helpful to you all.

[@marcoscarello2426]

Hello, how are you? Do you know from what Sutta is this story, or the where originally this Jataka cames from? Thanks

[@watsanfran]

@@marcoscarello2426 Assaka Jataka, Jataka number 207. You can search for the story.

[@marcoscarello2426]

@@watsanfran Muchas gracias, a lot of thanks for your time to answer me Mister. Have nice time!!

Great lesson from the Buddha ❤ Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu

[@paulineleong1189]

Thank you for an inspirational story. The moral of the story is that attachments will generate future sufferings. There is danger in the rebirth process.

[@V88-m5u]

In love with a memory of good times and romance. We must also let go of our past bad memories too. Everything in life is impermanent. If bad memories are too hard to let go, Transform the affliction into Bodhi wisdom. Learn the lesson and let go. Like how a Lotus Flower springs forth out of the dark muddy waters.

So Touched, we can reflect to our lives about the impermanence and conditionality of the world and relationships.

[@ramdhiwakarseetharaman5989]

I can understand the effect of such a loss. I cried at the last lines. Thanks a lot for the beautiful story.

[@watsanfran]

We are sorry about your loss. We hope you rebound back stronger and wiser than before. Stay strong dhamma friend!

[@ramdhiwakarseetharaman5989]

@@watsanfran Thank you to the whole team.

[@Izzzadora]

I love the essence of the teaching, that makes us realize the impermanence of this kind of love. But the way it's told it seems to discourage men from loving women. And in this world... Well, I think it would be wonderful if they'd start learning to love them

[@hw4067]

This took " would you love me if i was a worm" to a whole new level

[@theinngu5560]

Beautiful. Thank you so much for producing these excellent videos. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌿🌹🌿

Sudu Sudu Sudu😍🤩

[@asanthiu]

[@jamestown8398]

Is this where the "Would you love me if I were a worm?" meme came from?

[@sjj297]

Thanks. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Richdadful]

🙏🙏🙏

[@BTCrrc]

I am curious about when the Jataka Tales were written? Cause Bramhmins were not present during the time of buddha, we have not found a single archeological evidence of hinduism from buddhas period. So it is really givinv rise to so mqny questions.

[@shaunak4591]

why is this channel so underrated? BTW are you the girl whos speaking?

[@jamestown8398]

This made me look up whether or not worms mated. It turns out that they do!

[@naturallife820]

😇😇😇

[@darshanimanik6874]

it is preety sad and the sumery for me is that one day relation ship slowley break when death happen

[@facebookjataka547]

สาธุค่ะ 🙏🙏🙏

[@virtuous8]

music too loud

[@Rumpel_Stiltskin]

Jataka stories enable us to see how Kamma works in a world that existed before this Buddhist Era. The character of the Bodhisatta never has the Enlightened Faculty for any of these stories. What we get is a story of Wisdom in which the knowledge of No Self, or Emptiness is completely absent, the awareness of Changes nor the realisation of Dukkha is available for any reflection within each episode. So that the plot or drama is played out entirely with Conventional Wisdom.

[@ashwinilatkar626]

We should live in present moment,the things which is not in our hands should let go. Is this moral of the story?

[@lainfamia8949]

And that sometimes like Game of Thrones said: "Love is the Death of duty".

[@sunshineonahellcat]

So sad
