Once upon a time, the Five Training Steps were not yet known in the world. There was a very wealthy man living in Benares who owned a large herd of cattle. He hired a man to look after them.
During the time of year when the rice paddies were filled with the green growing rice plants, the herdsman took the cattle to the forest to graze. From there hr bought the milk and butter and cheese to the rich man in Benares.
It just so happened that. being in the forest put the cattle in a very frightening situation. There was a meat eating lion living nearby. Srnsing the presence of the lion kept the cattle in constant fear, This made the cows tense and high-strung, leaving them too weak to give more than little milk.
