These posters detail the lives and spiritual milestones of several prominent female lay disciples during the era of Buddha Gotama. The texts recount the histories of women like Sujātā, the first to take refuge, and Visākhā, the foremost donor who constructed the Pubbārāma monastery. Each narrative emphasizes the connection between past-life aspirations and the ripening of merit in their final existence. Highlighting diverse paths to enlightenment, the sources describe Kāḷī’s intuitive devotion, Khujjuttarā’s vast learning, and Sāmāvatī’s mastery of loving-kindness. These accounts illustrate how these women overcame social obstacles and personal tragedies to achieve the status of Stream-entry. Ultimately, the collection serves to document the foremost titles bestowed upon these disciples by the Buddha for their exceptional virtues and contributions to the teaching.
