The Danger of Naive Love | The story of Kundalakesi

It’s extremely beneficial to have wisdom to think wisely depending on the relevant situation. The story of Kundalakesi, daughter of the nobleman, who wanted to married the thief, shows how unwise consideration can bring suffering to our life. Fortunately, because of the hearing of Sublime Dhamma she was able to turn her life around and attain enlightenment. That’s the great importance of associating noble and virtuous people and taking the refuge in the Supreme Buddha.
