About this Sutra
Ah Tse Sai, the son of Pun Paw
Saw Law (an Indian king), put his father in prison and left him there
without food to die. But the Queen, Wai Tai Hei, spread honey and wheat
on her arm to succor the king when she visited him. When the son
returned and discovered what had happened, he wanted to kill his mother
but was persuaded by an advisor not to do such an evil act. The king and
queen then prayed to Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama - Sakyamuni) to help.
The Queen asked Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama - Sakyamuni) if there was a place where they
could be forever happy and was told of the Western Paradise (Buddha land
created by Ah-may-to Fat). The Queen asked the
way to go there and was told of 16 different ways to achieve
paradise.
