Buddha Image for Monday: Preventing Calamities

Certain events in the life of the Buddha are believed to have taken place on certain days. The Buddha images that accompany these events are therefore also associated with the days on which they occurred. People born on a certain day of the week are most interested in a Buddha image corresponding to that day.

The city of Vesali was tormented by three evils: poverty, cholera and devils. Devils roamed the city feasting on dead bodies and even humans. The king of Vesali was advised to seek the help of the Buddha. Accepting the invitation, the Buddha arrived at Vesali. With his transcendental powers, he caused heavy rain to pour, so heavy that it cleaned the city of all dead bodies and impiety. Later, Ananda, his disciple went around the city, reciting portions of the Tipitika, and the cleansing water poured through the city. Suffering people were healed, while all the devils became afraid and fled the city.
