04 Kāḷavaḷiya, a Rich Man
high-definition creative commons posters depicting Kāḷavaḷiya, a Rich Man based on the Great Chronicles of the Buddhas together with further information.
Living in extreme poverty, Kāḷavaḷiya and his wife offered their only food—a bowl of sour gruel—to Ven. Mahā Kassapa. Recognizing their total sacrifice, the Buddha prophesied rapid wealth. That night, his courageous wife braved dangerous spirits outside the city to deliver the king's meal to a criminal, uncovering two hidden pots of gold along the way. Appointed royal treasurer for his newfound fortune, Kāḷavaḷiya’s story concludes the Great Chronicles.
