Princess Ruca was able to recall her 14 former existences; this is because of her practice of meditation in the past. When she found out the reason why her father King Angatirat changed his mind, she told her father to give up the belief that is false view) by telling him the stories of her own and other peoples’ former existences in order to make him understand that the next world is real, merit and sin are real. Whoever commited any actions will receive the result of that action. Even though she tried her best to explain to her father, but she could not change his will. Therefore, she prayed to a priest or sage for help to solve this problem.
