The rewards derived from making the cotton flags to worship the Triple Gem. On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to the monks about his perfection. At the time, the Buddha related to the story of his previous life. Once upon a time, there was a man who had the most ardent religious faith and made a cotton flag to worship the Buddha and set up his wish by saying that, due to the results of ther merit derived from making this cotton flag to worship the Buddha, any births of mine, may I be free from poverty. After the death, he was born in the heaven with a gold heavenly castle with twelf yojana height and surrouned by angels as his servants.
