Yasodhara married Shakyamuni

he loves her very much

One night, Shakyamuni left her and her son Lu He to seek enlightenment

He left without saying anything

Yasodhara caring for the sick

She healed them before Shakyamuni

He was earlier than Sakyamuni and understood the suffering of the people

maybe

His enlightenment was inspired by her

"Pima"

Maybe Yasodhara thought about leaving Shakyamuni and Lu He

How do we know Yasodhara

After Shakyamuni left

no anger

not feeling lonely or sad

who will remember her

"Pima"

When her son Lu He kept asking her the same question

where is father

how should she answer

How can a mother leave her son in the middle of the night

Only men can do it

Dash

Only men can do it

thereafter

Yasodhara has no choice

She abandoned her past life

cut hair

live an ascetic life

Oh Dash

If you desire Dharma

as strong as love for me

you can become a buddha

in this life

this body

"Pima, forgive me

I'll go back with you

I belong there"
