"It is said that many centuries ago the kingdom of Ling, famous for the piety and the wisdom of its sages, was to suffer a time of great unhappiness. Darkness, the shadow of revenge, was to fall over the people, and the light of the dharma would be extinguished. Such a night, never to be relieved by the dawn, was to come about because of a woman who thought her unhappy life was the result of the Buddha's curse. Vengeance and hatred filled her heart, so that her dying wish was to be reborn with her three sons as rulers in Buddhist kingdoms and so be able to take revenge on the dharma, the Buddha's teaching.
