The Exemplary Tale About a Sow belongs to a genre of the Buddha’s teaching known as avadāna, “exemplary tale,” which consist of narratives aimed at illustrating the workings of karma and instilling the principles of generosity and virtuous conduct. In this case, the story is about a god who succeeds in averting a particularly wretched state of rebirth by taking refuge in the Three Jewels.
