MahaAbhidhamma Loka (Lokuttara) Return to Buddha time. On the full-moon day of the eighth lunar month (Asalahamasassa) at Vassa 7 Buddha announced to perform the “Yamaka Patihariya” at Amphapraksa tree, Sravasti. Before performance this event, a group of heretics aimed to display miracles, learned about the news and destroyed all the mango trees around that area leaving only one mango from “Khandha upasaka”. He was a royal garden-servant of king Pasenthikosol. On the full-moon day of the eighth lunar month, Khandha encountered Buddha during Pindapata. He offered the ripe mango to Buddha at Jetavanmahavihara. Mahaananda (Buddha Upatthak) extracted Ampha (mango) Pana from ripe mango for Buddha. Buddha washed his hand on a mango seed and gave to Khandha upasaka to grow and tend.
A mango tree grew instantly called “Khandhamapraksa” or “Amphapraksa”. Buddha performed Yamaka Patihariya at Amphapraksa, a display of supernatural powers, which is a significant event in Buddha tradition specifically for Buddha’s duty in order to preach Abhidhamma to Buddhamata at Tavatingsa. Buddha stood up on mango shoot. First step on… Mango shoot Second step on… Sineru Third step on… Pandukambalasilaasana Ampha (mango) is the representative of Abhidhamma. All plants originated from Abhidhamma.
