A True Leader | Nigrodhamiga Jataka | Animated Buddhist Stories

Nigrodhamiga Jataka (#12)

In the past, the actions of a king caused great stress and harm to two herds of deer. The leaders of the two herds decided to take turns sending a sacrifice to the king to protect the greater good. It fell upon a pregnant doe to be sacrificed and she asked her leader for leniency. He refused her and ordered her to accept her fate. The Banyan King Deer decided to step in and save her.

Wat San Fran is proud to present stories taken from the Jatakas, Dhammapada, and Buddhist history. These stories often use past rebirth stories (Jatakas) to reveal the connection between past and present, and illustrate the relationship between cause and effect.

If you ask me, I think I like the Banyan Deer much better than the Branch Deer, though both do remind me of the Great Prince of the Forest from Bambi.

The 5 Precepts sound like 10 Deer Golden Rules of God made up by the Great Prince of the Forest.

[katiehickey]

So let my get these 5 Deer Precepts straight; Don't Kill, Don't steal, Don't commit adultery, Don't use harmful speeches, and Don't use intoxicants.

Does the Sanctuary for Deer still exist today? And if so, where can I find it?
