the puddle to let Dipankara Buddha and his disciples
walk over to the other side, so they would not get wet.
Dipankara Buddha prophesied that Sumedha would
become the next Buddha, known as Gautama
Bimba was a village woman in that lifetime. She and
Sumedha did not know each other. Upon seeing
Sumedha's admirable act, she became fond of him and
fell in love. She made an earnest wish to become
Sumedha's wife, and to be reborn as his wife in every
reincarnation.
From that lifetime onwards, whenever Princess
Bimba was reborn, she would become his life partner,
and would pursue Perfections together until their
final lifetime, where they separately attained
Nibbana (known as Nirvana in Sanskrit) and were no
longer subjected to incarnation.
Love and bond grounded on virtues binds couples
together through many lifetimes. Their past
connection leads them to fall in love and care for
each other. Some couples feel an instant connection,
because they have made previous arrangements to
meet again in future lives. This explains why some
people fall in love at first sight.
Although a connection from previous existences may
exist for many couples, it does not mean that their
love will necessarily be smooth and happy.
When people are young and fall in love for the first
time, they tend to be sweet and affectionate to each
other. Some would even make resolutions or vows
promising to love each other and live together
forever. These are the kinds of wishes that are often
made by people who are experiencing a new love.
Once they have been together long enough, their
passion for each other may gradually diminish and
they soon stop making efforts to please each other.
As people get older, they naturally become less
attracted, and may find each other irritating and
boring. This can result in separation through divorce
or death. When a husband or wife looks for a way out,
or gets attracted to someone who is more appealing,
the problems turn into chaos and start to wreck the
marriage
Living together with another person is likened to
wearing bracelets; a single bracelet makes no noise,
but when two bracelets are worn together they rattle
and jangle.
