1. TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE AFFLICTED WITH SICKNESS AND THE HAND OF COMPASSION
2. GION SHOJA (JETAVANA VIHARA) BUILT
3. CALMING OF INFURIATED ELEPHANT INSIDE THE CASTLE

The Elders,who had seen the Buddha setting in motion of the wheel of the Law and at the same time seen him offering the hand of compassion in form of treatment to those who were aged and sick,also took upon themselves in making numerous offerings and extending their helping hand in helping the Buddha. One of the Elders was Suclatta of the Sravasti kingdom who decide& as his offerings the construction of a vihara in the kingdom of Sravasti. He approached Prince Jeta, the owner of the garden and asked him if he could buy the whole land. Jeta, the Prince, first refused but findingSudatta insistent in his demands,said at lastthat if hecouldcover the whole ground with gold, he would be willing to part with the garden. Suclatta 'rejoiced and began to spread his gold and Jeta seeing this and knowing that he would not stop at anything for the sake of the Buddha and was determined, accepted only one half of the gold saying "Yours is the land, but mine are the trees; I will give my trees as my share of my offering to the Buddha." The offerings for the building of Jetavana Vihara was given jointly and was called, Gijugikkodoku-on, (Jetavananathapindadarama) in short, Jetavana Vihara (Gion Shoja).

Devaclatta, brother-in-law of the Buddha, was jealous of the growing fame, day by day of the Buddha and determined to clescredit his name before his followers. One day he gave intoxicating liquor to the elephant in the castle and had him released into the crowd while in the intoxicated condition. Devadatta took this opportunity in telling the crowd that the fault was with the Buddha, for as long as the Buddha carried out this action the trouble will not stop and just about this time the Buddha accompanied by his disciples walked into the tension filled castle.

The Buddha without showing any fear approached the wild elephant and touched the head of the animal with a lotus flower. The infuriated elephant became gentle in the presence of the Buddha and showed no signs of violence and bowing down paid his respects to the Buddha. Devaclatta's plan was foiled and his name remains today as the symbol of evil evermore.
