Don’t Hold Back when You have taken a Decision: A Buddha Story

We might find ourselves in a condition where we know that we have taken the best decision for ourselves and our loved ones. But then a conflict gets started in our mind, what if the decision that we have taken leads us to an even deeper problem. One destitute Brahmin in Sravasti was also going through this conflict in his mind, while he was listening to the sermon of Buddha. The story of Brahmin Cūḷa Ekasāṭaka or little one robe tells us about the significance of not holding back once we have taken the decision and how restraining our good actions impacts the result of our efforts. During the time of Buddha, there was a Brahmin named Cula Ekasataka or Little One Robe, who was extremely poor. He was called so because he and his wife together possessed only one single outer garment. As the result, only one of them could go outside at a time. Both of them were very devoted to Buddha. One day they heard the announcement that Buddha was in the city and there will be a sermon of Buddha at the Jetavana monastery. The couple decided that wife would go to the Jetavana monastery during the day to listen to Buddha and the husband will attend the sermon at night. His wife put on the robe and left for the sermon, while the Brahmin waited for her to return and stayed at home. At night while listening to the sermon of Buddha a desire arose within him to gift something to Buddha. But he did not have anything with him except for the outer robe. He decided that he will donate his robe to Buddha.
