Buddhist Tales : Amrapali
The story of Amrapali is told in the ‘Maha-Parinibbana Sutta’ and in ‘Malasarvastivadas’. The garden which Amprapali gave up to Lord Buddha still existed when Fa-Hien visited India during the Gupta age. Upagupta was a disciple of Buddha. For him, ahimsa (non-violence) did not merely mean desisting from violence but also doing positive good and showing compassion. When Vasavadatta was shunned by society and had nowhere to go, Upagupta took her to his hermitage. While adapting this story for our Amar Chitra Katha, we have omitted a few gruesome details.
