11.2 The Story about Sirimā

high-definition creative commons posters telling The Story about Sirimā together with further information.

Jīvaka’s sister Sirimā was a courtesan in Rājagaha who attained Stream-entry and used to provide alms for the bhikkhus, but soon she died; the Buddha asked for her body to be left outside to rot, and although men would pay good money for her before, nobody would take her later, even for free; the Buddha spoke about her in a verse.
