An animated Buddhist story. This video is an amusing story from the Dhammapada commentary that concerns the events behind verse 406, when the Buddha describes the attributes of a true Brahmin. A Brahmin woman and her husband wish to give food to four distinguished brahmins and are sent four seven-year-old novices who have all attained arahatship. Concerned only with the appearance of her guests, the woman sends her husband out again and again, and neglects her guests because of their youth. Finally, she and her husband are shown by Sakka that the boys have high spiritual distinction and are true Brahmins.
