Source of the Stories
These posters provide detailed hagiographies of four exceptionally wealthy householders—Jotika, Meṇḍaka, Jaṭila, and Kāḷavaḷiya—whose lives demonstrate the Buddhist principle of karmic fruition. Each narrative spans multiple incarnations, tracing how extraordinary acts of generosity performed toward Buddhas or Paccekabuddhas in past lives resulted in miraculous prosperity and supernatural abundance in their final existences. The texts describe spectacular phenomena, such as self-arising mansions and inexhaustible resources, while emphasizing that such material wealth is ultimately secondary to spiritual awakening. Most of these figures eventually renounce their immense fortunes to join the monastic order and achieve Arhatship. Collectively, the chronicles serve as moral instructional tools, illustrating that sincere devotion and the abandonment of craving are the true paths to liberation.
