Sheets of flame were everywhere . On seeing this , some of the less experienced monks were seized with terror and wondered what measures they should adopt to stop the spreading of the fire . To ease their panic , other senior monks said to them : " Why should you be fearful when you are in the company of Lord Buddha , who has power over all phenomenon . We should go to the Master at once . " As the monks gathered around Lord Buddha , the World Honourable One continued to walk towards the approaching fire for some way before taking a stand . The fire had by now spread far and wide , devouring everything in its path . But when it came close to the spot where Lord Buddha stood his ground , the great fire came no nearer than sixteen lengths ; then went out suddenly just like a flaming torch that had been put out in a barrel of water . Witnessing this miracle all the monks burst into praise ; " Oh how great are the powers of the Buddha . Even this great fire could not come close to the spot where Buddha stands . " Hearing these words Lord Buddha responded , " It is not due to my present power but the power of a former act of truth of mine , that this fire goes out at this spot . Furthermore , no fire will take place in this spot ever again for the rest of this aeon ". Then Ananda , the personal attendant of Lord Buddha placed a robe on the ground and the Master took his seat . All the monks bowed to Buddha and sat around him . " Master " they said " We are only aware of the present and have no knowledge of the past , please make the past known to us ". And so at their request , Buddha told them the story of an Act of Truth he performed in one of his previous lives . Once , a long time ago in this exact spot , the Buddha - to - be took birth as a young quail . His parents prepared a nest for him and brought him food everyday . At that time , the young quail was not yet strong enough to either fly by his own effort or to walk upon the forest ground . One day a fire broke out in the forest , and it swept fast and furiously with the ferocity of an insatiable wild beast . Alarmed and fearful , all the animals and birds in the forest fled from the encroaching fire as fast as they could . The parents of the young quail knew they did not have the body strength to ferry their young one with them on their escape , and so had to fly away on their own , leaving the little quail behind . Stranded alone in his nest , the Buddha - to - be became aware of the approaching fire and thought to himself : " If I had the strength to use my wings , I would follow my parents to safety . Now that my parents have gone , what could I possibly do to save myself ? " Just then an insight arose from his mind . " In this world of Samsara , there are those who are revered throughout the universe as the Buddhas , the Enlightened Ones . These are the great Compassionate Bodhisattvas ( the Great Awakened Courageous Beings ) who have gained their release from the realms of suffering by dedicating endless acts of perfections such as generosity , patience , compassion and loving kindness towards all beings and in the process realised the full potential of their Original Nature , and attained the Absolute State of Oneness and Wisdom that is not separate from the Ultimate Truth of Nature . Since I too believe in the same Truth and the Efficacy of Goodness , I will invoke the Buddhas of the past to grant me their blessing to bring true the Ultimate Truth of Nature and by an Act of Faith in that Truth , put a stop to the fire . Thus fortified by his faith , the young quail called to mind the Efficacy of the Buddhas of the past and performed an Act of Truth by repeating the following stanza : ' With wings that are not yet ready to fly , feet that are not yet ready to walk ; abandoned by my parent , here I lie in this nest ; I earnestly call upon Jataveda , Lord of fire , stop and turn back . ' In this way , with unshakable faith , the young quail repeated this invocation continuously . Even as he was reciting , the fire slow down and turn back to a distance of sixteen lengths before it went out completely as if it had been doused by a great wash of water . From that time on , this spot where the fire came to stop will never be harmed by fire again throughout the remainder of the aeon . Lord Buddha then said to the monks " It is not my present power , but the power of an Act of Truth I performed in my former birth as a quail , that caused the fire to stop at this spot in the forest ". Lord Buddha then identified his parents in this life were the parents of those days , and he himself was the king of the quails .
