‘She’, whose first husband was snatched by her mother.
The second wife of her second husband was the daughter whom she gave birth to with her first husband.
The son of ‘her’ and her third husband became her fourth husband.
The second wife of her fourth husband was the daughter whom she gave birth to with her third husband.

‘She’ was ‘Uppalavanna(蓮華色)’. The above summarizes the sufferings and the misfortune that Uppalavanna had borne before she left home and became a Buddhist nun (bhiksuni in Sanskrit).

Love is the endless sea of tribulations as well as one of the factors that makes sentient beings suffer from various vexations without being able to have the renunciation of samsara. Failing to let go the grip of love and desire is exactly like a moth flying into fire, which is a suicidal act when it throws itself into an inferno! 

For those friends who are suffering from boundless affliction because of an obsession towards love, please take a look at the true story of this real classical character, ‘Uppalavanna’ carefully. If all of us can retrieve our sincerity as well as genuine awareness so that we can all be happy and depart from sufferings, it will be the meritorious rewards of the public!
