In this sermon we learn the Chakkavattisihanada Sutta, where Supreme Buddha preaches how the qualities of humans will deteriorate and how the inhuman qualities will be powerful. In emphasis of this we learn a beautiful story of about a girl with extremely beautiful hair during the Buddha’s time who was reborn as a ghost after she passes away due to her inhumane qualities. Thus, one should strive to escape this mass of suffering but making effort to cultivate good qualities in this life.
