Iâm a bit disturbed today by some of the opinions on nuns and rape expressed in another thread.
So this doodle is about: BhikkhunÄ« UppalavaáčáčÄ and the rogue!
SN5.5
MÄra:
âHaving gone to a sal tree with flowering top,
You stand at its foot all alone, bhikkhunī.
There is none whose beauty rivals yours:
Foolish girl, arenât you afraid of rogues?â
BhikkhunÄ« UppalavaáčáčÄ:
âThough a hundred thousand rogues
Just like you might come here,
I stir not a hair, I feel no terror;
Even alone, MÄra, I donât fear you.
âI can make myself disappear
Or I can enter inside your belly.
I can stand between your eyebrows
Yet you wonât catch a glimpse of me.
âI am the master of my mind,
The bases of power are well developed;
I am freed from all bondage,
Therefore I donât fear you, friend.â

I think that is a great idea. Can you imagine a free distrubition colouring book about nuns in the foyer of monasteries and Dhamma centres? What a great way to engage with people

Heavenly beings visit
Then when the night was advanced, radiant heavenly beings illuminated all of Jetaâs groveâŠ

(Please excuse my somewhat deficient Pali. If anyone can improve on it, Iâd be very grateful!)

HmmâŠI could see a kids lapping this up - a bed time story book, perhaps? Better than tele-tubbies?

These are wonderful. When I get back from my current travels I would like to print these for the kids who visit us with there parents for dÄna. Theyâre normally glued to iPads

Thanks, Iâm glad you both like them.
@Pasanna, Iâd be very interested to hear the reactions of people when you give them the doodles. Depending on the age of the kids, they might not care at all, but maybe it will serve as a discussion starter for a dhamma conversation with the parents. It would be great if you could share your experiences here or on the âusing art to teach dhammaâ thread.
If it turns out that there is some interest and this is helpful, maybe at some point weâll actually look into making a small free distribution doodle booklet or so⊠or just a pdf file⊠

Thank you all for your encouragement and for bearing with my doodles for so long! There are already ten doodles on this thread! 
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I have a doodle challenge for you today:
If you can identify the sutta depicted in todayâs doodle, please leave a post or send a PM. If itâs correct, Iâll make a doodle of your favourite sutta passage or dhamma quote (terms and conditions apply 
).

MN 23 Vammika sutta.
Though I donât remember a light saber in there!

Thatâs right! Let me know your favourite sutta or dhamma quote!!
âSatthanâti kho, bhikkhu, ariyÄyetaáč paññÄya adhivacanaáč.
The light saber is a symbol for noble wisdom.
I love this sutta because itâs so full of symbolism, much less explicit and structured than ordinary suttas. More for creative, intuitive people I think.

Would love to use them if the artist here (yoda) allows us to. Although this last one might be a bit complicated for the littlies the older kids could benefit.

I loved the âMagic and wondersâ picture- the colours are great. I wonder if children would like a colouring book too? I can see 2-6 year olds colouring this in or leafing through it, as they are much more visual (you donât have to limit it to bhikkhunis, as wonderful as they are! 
).
Maybe an small/short introduction to the life of the Buddha or topics like kindess, metta, generosity, etcâŠ
with metta,

âThe sun shines by day, the moon shines by night. The warrior shines in armor, the holy man shines in meditation. But the Buddha shines resplendent all day and all night.â
The thought of the Buddhaâs radiance makes me happy.

So my doodle challenge has turned into a challenge for myself! I have never drawn the Buddha because Iâm not sure how to represent him adequately in a silly doodle⊠But Iâll see what I can do.
Will take a few days thoughâŠ

Sure, no problem. Would be great if you could share your experiences in the âusing art to teach dhammaâ thread afterwards.
I have more doodles, so if you need any specific topic, let me know in advance and Iâll see what I can do.
Even grown ups on this forum seem to like them. So the colouring book doesnât need to be limited to little children
They donât only show bhikkhunis, except for the one about Uppalavanna. They were designed to be just human. (Though I donât mind if people want to see them as bhikkhunisâŠ) 
Iâm not good at writing childrenâs stories but if anyone feels called to do that, please go ahead!
Or this could turn into a little book for adults, with doodles and dhamma quotes, similar to what people have done with dhammapada verses before. Plenty of options and ideas⊠
We are only 11 doodles into this thread, so itâs probably way too early to make any such plans. But I donât use money and donât have a large organization behind me, so any such undertaking would depend on donations and volunteers.
