v2.c31.2293

In the time of Kassapa Buddha, Sudassana had been a forester. He met a monk in the forest and built a hut for him. He also requested the monk to receive alms every day at his house or, at least, to eat there. The monk agreed, and Sudassana made his hut comfortable in every way, constructing walks, bathing-places, gardens, etc., outside. He also gave him innumerable gifts, of various kinds and descriptions.²
