A young man abandons even his mother to become a monk. A young lady, deeply devoted to this dedicated monk, makes frequent offerings to him and his monastery. As her contributions appear exceedingly generous, she causes discomfort within the monastery and the community, despite her purely religious intentions. Eventually, the young monk leaves the monastery and retreats into the jungle. Believing she has disrupted his religious practices, she begs the Buddha for forgiveness. She reincarnates as a snake and follows his footsteps in the jungle to support him. This fascinating tale, which connects traditional Buddhist teachings with modern life demonstrates the integral role that Buddhism plays in contemporary Myanmar.
