Thanks dear Dhamma friend Gad. I appreciate your comments.
Yes, there are stories where many great disciples of this Buddha Saasana have successfully avoided the apayas for many maha kappas. By the immense power of their merits they were continuously born in sugati worlds (human/deva/brahma) one after the other and eventually attained Nibbana in this dispensation of Lord Buddha Gotama. That’s the power of the Paramithas!
So we should not be discouraged ever. If our dedication and efforts are sincere and truthful, then we will reach our goal (Nibbana) sooner or later.
Theruwan Saranai.
