Gift from Jeevaka. - Buddha and his dhamma,

:: 3. Gift from Jeevaka. ::
1. Jeevaka the physician visited the Blessed One twice a day whenever the Blessed One happened to be in Rajagraha. 
2. Jeevaka found the Veluvana gifted away to the Blessed One by King Bimbisara too far away. 
3. Jeevaka had his own park in Rajagraha, known as Ambavana, which was much nearer from his place. 
4. He thought of building a Vihara with all its adjuncts and present the Ambavana and the Vihara to the Blessed One. 
5. With this idea in his mind he approached the Blessed One and requested him to let him fulfil his wishes. 
6. The Blessed Lord showed his acceptance by remaining silent.
