The Dhamma tale, in the past in Inthakili kingdom, there was an 80 thousand-year-old girl fell in love with a monk. Wherenever the monk stayed, the girl would always follow with him. This made the monk annoyed and he thought to bring her to the Himalaya, but he pitied her. The monk then asked his teacher, "Why did this young woman fall in love with him and follow him all the time?" The teacher replied that in the past, the two of them used to love each other but were not yet married, so they died. When the monk found out, he disrobed and lived with the girl in order to fulfill her hope for 200 years. After he had divorced his wife, the man then was ordained as a monk again for performing perfections.
