Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe Bodhisatta was once a householder, and one day, on going to the park, he saw the gardener picking large leaves and throwing them on the ground for pottles, and the chief monkey who lived in the park destroying them as they fell. The monkey, on being questioned, said it was his nature to destroy these things; thereupon the Bodhisatta drove him away.
