Ruru Jataka (the tale of the deer of nine color)
Northern Wei dynasty
Dunhuang Mogao caves, cave 257
Essentially, pretty multicolored deer saves drowning man. To repay the deer the man promises to never tell anyone about the deer and thus keep him safe from hunters. However queen has a dream of the deer and offers reqard to whoever can find it. The man was poor and fell to the temptation and led the queen’s hunters to the deer. The deer than told the people who he was and the king got very mad at the man for betraying the deer. The deer said he should be mad at him because it was wealth the tempted the man and made him lose integrity. The king asked if the deer wanted to teach the dharma cuz of his wisdom, and promised to never hurt him. -main teaching is that despite all the complexities of the dharma the main message is to compassionate and respectful to every creature
