SIVALI

SIVALI

Sivali is worshiped as the greatest fortune-fetching monk. Sivali was an important disciple of Lord Buddha. He was praised by the Lord as the most miraculous monk for fortune.

Buddhist legend says the Lord and his large group of disciples made a pilgrimage to a jungle for meditation practices. There were no people but gods and the unseen creatures existed along the way they went by. The deep jungle really caused troubles, no people offered food to Lord Buddha and all his disciple monks.

How and where could they get food from? Had they anything to eat ? The Lord's closest disciple, Anondha, was strongly worried about that. But the Lord soothed him to not worry because Sivali, who had also joined the pilgrimage group, could help bring food for everyone by his great miraculous power. That's true, all gods and unseen creatures in the jungle gathered to pay respect to Sivali and brought a great deal of food for all
