Sundari

Sundari (सुन्दरी ) was a wandering ascetic. She is known as having been persuaded by her colleagues to help them denounce the Buddha due to their jealousy of his fame and honor. They instructed her to wander around Jetavana in close quarters to the Buddha and his disciples. She was later killed and her body was paraded in the streets. The evil ascetics falsely accused the Buddhist sangha for killing Sundari. After seven days, the public became aware that the sangha was not responsible for Sundari's death. The Buddha's innocence restored, he proclaimed the importance of honesty and patience in the face of slander, as well as the retribution one reaps for dishonesty.
