Discussion
The Buddha told the Vajjis that they would continue to prosper as long as :
A. They held frequent public assemblies.
B. They met and acted together.
C. They followed established rules.
D. Vajji women were not held by force or captured.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: B
All four conditions were named by the Buddha, so the answer is A, B, C and D are correct.
The Buddhist texts record the Buddha telling the Vajjis of the gana or sangha of Vaishali that they would continue to prosper as long as they held full and frequent public assemblies (A), met and acted together (B), followed established rules (C), respected, supported and listened to their elders, did not hold Vajji women by force or capture them (D), maintained their chaityas, and respected and protected wise saints.
The point of the story is that the strength of the Vajji republic lay in collective decision-making and respect for its own rules. Every option that leaves out B or D drops one of the conditions the Buddha listed.
