You’re welcome, Sir. Thank you for sharing the Venerable Waharaka Thero’s suttas chanting🙏🏿 is very appreciated. 

  • Another story is that of a peta who was the mother of Venerable Arahant Sāriputta and Venerable Arahant Maha Mogallana in a past life. Venerable Sāriputta built accommodations, brought food and called 3 arahants to offer them. He then dedicated this offering in honour of his deceased mother. As a result of this positive action, she acquired heavenly beauty and great relief from her sufferings. See Sāriputtattheramātupetivatthu
  • If someone wants to learn more about these stories, I advise you to read the Pettavatthu. These are collections of stories of Petas who suffer due to their evil actions and some of them receive relief when they meet ariyas.
