Teenage
Unfortunately, she had got skin disease. She was so shameful. She had never been gone out since she gets this disease. One day, her brother (monk) visited to their house. All relatives welcome to him expect his younger sister. When he knew about sister, he advised her to do some meritorious deeds. He suggested that raise some money by selling off her jewellery to build a community hall where people perform all activities. She did all things as she was told. She clean up and fill the water pots everyday even while the construction was still going on. She began to get better because of her good deed. Why Ugly?Why she get this skin disease? All things are not happen without causes. Absolutely , she was at one time a chief queen in her past existences. The king had a favorite dancer and she was very jealous of the dancer. One day, she told her attendants to put some itching powder in the dancer's bed and her blankets, and to humiliate her by throwing some itching powder on her. The poor dancer itched all over and was in great pain and discomfort. Thus itching unbearably, she ran to her bed, which made her suffer even more. As a result of that evil action, she had to suffer the skin disease in this life.
