When the beloved Dashi was about to leave for the Dharma, she did not shed tears or begged, but just looked at him, wanting to see thoroughly, and walked around him and said: Yalundhara, have you heard this name? Prince Sakyamuni, Gautama Siddhartha, Buddha, everyone also knows. Yelundhara, Yelundhara married Sakyamuni, and she loved him very much. One night, Sakyamuni left. She and her son Luhe, they were sleeping fast, and he went to seek enlightenment and become a Buddha. When he left, he said nothing. Yeluntra cared for the patients, and she treated them earlier than Sakyamuni. She predates Sakyamuni and understands the suffering of the people. Maybe, his consciousness was inspired by her. Maybe Yalundhara thought about leaving Sakyamuni and Luhe. How do we know that Yalundhara was not angry, lonely, or miserable after Sakyamuni left, who would think of her. When her son Lu He kept asking her the same question, where is the father? How does she answer. How can she tell him. How can a mother leave her son in the middle of the night? Only men can do it. Dash, only men can do it. After that, Yaluntra had no choice but to abandon her past life, cut her hair, and lead a life of asceticism. Dashi, if you yearn for the Dharma, as strong as your craving for me, you can become a Buddha, in this life, this body.
