1. Story Example Phuoc Dien (Khettupama)

Buddha told the story while raising permanent spot in Veluvana care (Bamboo Forest) near Rajagaha (Rajgir).

At that time, in Rajgir has a treasury owners extremely rich and known only through the title Great Dives (Mahadhanasetthi). He had an only son very endearing and beautiful. When he came of age, his parents think like this: 'If you're spending a thousand per day, then even a hundred years from now the number of such assets will not go away'.

They did not teach him a job at all, for thinking: 'The apprentices will laborious toil, let it comfort body and mind at the age of riches delight'.

Instead of training, when he reached the age of sixteen, they married him a lovely bride, but the complete lack of virtue. Along with his wife, he poured all the time on enjoyment, interest to seek pleasure.

When his parents died, he squandered money on wedding dancer, individuals and other fun bunch; after spending all of the property, he became poor, have managed to live by borrowing.But when you are no longer able to borrow again and creditors are pressing, he put all farms, farms, houses with other heritage and become beggar, living in the city's hospice was .

Then, one day, the robbers met him and said:

- Hey uncle, see this, note how out of this miserable life, paying young and capable. Follow fully to us and comfortable living by stealing. We're going to practice for pay.

He agreed and followed them. Thieves gave him a big stick; and while they broke into a house where they had punctured a big hole, we put him at the side entrance and said:

- If someone comes, let's hit it dead.

He dull minds which, irrespective of your enemy, and just stood there waiting for someone else to go to.

Now, people in the house would get up, run away quickly, looking here and there, he saw her standing in the hole. They said:

- Here they are, damn military, flood steal, they just grabbed him taken to the King, the:

- O Lord, this thief was arrested at their homes demolished.

The king ordered the soldier holding the:

- Cutting head it off.

This we lock him in prison and taken to places of execution, they beat him with batons while he followed the drum handling offense. At the same time the masses shouted:

- Robbers vandalism were arrested in this city.

Now in that city, with her beauty queen named Sulasa standing by the window. She saw that he was taken flat, and because she had known him from the time before so she has feelings for him who was ever achieved this great honor in the city, she immediately to send the marmalade bread and water, thanks people keep up the message with us:

- May the honor to wait until he finished eating jam cake people and drinking.

At the same time in this city, Venerable Maha-Mahamoggallana are observing eye with danger and see the plight of this man, he came to work compassion and thinking: 'Since this man has not done anything of merit, but just create bad karma, he will be reborn in hell. Now if we go out and care for us jam bread and water, he will be reborn in the local congregation of gods.We should help this man. '

So he came to appear before the sinner immediately upon marmalade bread and water deliveries. When he saw the Elder, his mind is at peace, and he thought: 'I can benefit by eating jam cake if we have to die? Now, we will do for our luggage up the path to the afterlife '.

So the boy by putting jams and drinks go worship the Elder. When he came Mahamoggallana see his anguish became happy, he came to sit down and finish eating and then got up and went on his way.

And he was brought to the venue executioner guilty and beheaded. Thanks to faithful action for elders Mahamoggallana, unsurpassed field of merit in the world, who does deserve to be reborn in paradise greatness. But because of our attachment emits conviction for Sulasa when you think: 'I created this pujas thanks her', so even the time of death, he becomes impure mind and he is reborn in the lower realms, as gods in the large banana trees dense canopy in the wild.

Then casually Sulasa garden gods saw her take her immediately to the residence of him. Her mother wailing, sure after a week he must bring her back. Mothers tell stories for everyone to hear, when they asked her the incident happened, and they said to each other was filled with amazement:

4. Figure's Story By powder (Pitthadhitalika)

The Master told the story while staying at Savatthi (Xa-defense) in Jetavana (United-members).

At that time nurse who brought his granddaughter to Anathapindika (Anathapindika) a powder image to make toys.

One day she dropped her shattered image. He called out, 'daughter's dead!', And crying, the servants nobody is deceived.

Then the Master was in the house he Anathapindika, this position was sitting near him. She brought her nurse to the boss. Air pipe:

4. But this ceremony is also worth
Ingenious dwell bring in monks,

Buddha had preached so and then leave. Your wives and your families Great Dives imitate him. So they made great offerings ceremony for a month. Then King Pasenadi (Persian-anonymously) hearing also abundant offerings to the Sangha. When the people saw it, they turn to follow the king and contemporary offerings celebrating the entire month, a great festival offerings derived from his iconic powder.

5. It collapsed Foreign Wall (Tirokuddapeta)

This storytelling masters while staying at Rajagaha (Rajgir).

Ninety-two lifetimes ago, with a citadel named Kasipuri. King reigns Jayasena district where there is post Sirima, Prince Phussa Impermanence attained Enlightenment, ie Lord Buddha Stock eighteenth after Buddha Dipankara (Dipankara).

Then the Great King Jayasena conceit mentality, thinking: 'Since my prince born as Buddha, the great achievements made so, we have the Buddha alone, we have the French alone, alone have Evidence'. Thus the king is always virtually no access to the Buddha and provide opportunities for others.

Three royal followers of the Buddha was born by different mothers, and they think: 'Verily Buddhas born for the sake of the people born around this time, not for one individual. Now my father did not take the opportunity to others. How can we serve the Buddha and the Sangha?Let us implement a tactic '.

So you mess at the border area. Then when the king heard of the disorder, ordered three princes went to pacify the borders. Three obey and when you return, the King satisfied ban you one wish, asks:

- Choose what the king wanted children.

Three said before:

- We wish attendant unborn god Buddha.

The king refused, saying,

- Select other things.

Three said before:

- We do not care what god pediatric else.

The king spoke:

- Well, the King children have the right to choose at will.

The three approached the Buddha and said:

- Buddha, his disciples wished to serve the Buddha three months. Please Buddha rejoice three months rain retreat with his disciples.

Blessed approval. Three self-operating prince sent a message to the person designated to oversee the other provinces, said: 'During these three months, we need to serve the Buddha, began by building a Vihara, and providing everything necessary '.

Then you wholeheartedly reverently serve Buddha and the Sangha. When the officer ruled this province had finished offering his residence, the position of the Executive was the rainy season retreat. A prime warehouse appliances, the son of a landlord, are devout and his wife had found faith, he respectfully make offerings to the Buddha Sangha as foremost. Who was appointed to govern the province following the example of the other position with eleven thousand people brought things to make offerings to all respects.

On that occasion, there is some discontent in the heart, after preventing things contribute, they eat the animals and set fire to the hall.

After three Prince entourage were offered the Buddha and finished his farewell, the three went straight to his father.

On return, the Buddha attained Nirvana countless medical opinion, the three princes who ruled the province and then, the prime royal treasures gradually over time have died along with the public and there is rebirth disasters gender, and number of people dissatisfied was reborn in hell Center.

Ninety-two eons so, while two classes of people on every turn this rebirth from heaven to heaven and from hell to hell the other. Then to beat this lifetime, at Kassapa Buddha, folks discontent reborn in mind hungry ghost.

At that time, humans often make offerings for the benefit of the crowd to their deceased relatives and stated: 'This pleased offerings for our relatives'. Therefore, the shadowy peace.Then, it was also recognized that the souls know this, so after approached the Buddha Kassapa, and he asked:

- Buddha, now how can we attain peace like this'?

Buddha replied:

- Now you can not achieve that peace, but time later, will have an earthly Buddha named Gotama. At the time of the Buddha that, there will be a king named Bimbisara, in ninety-two lives again since this will be relatives of yours. He will celebrate Mass king offerings to Buddha and he will transfer merit to you, then you will be at peace.

At that time, when this is said, it is as if I told her spirits: 'Tomorrow you will be at peace.'

Later, after this period has passed with the Buddha, the Buddha (Gotama) was born in the realm of psychic life, three prince with a thousand people from paradise reborn in the country of Magadha (Ma-out-momentum) in families Brahmin.

Over time, having retired from secular life, the three became the ascetic hair braided, mountain residence in Gaya, who formerly ruled that province became King Bimbisara; royal storekeepers, the owner's son, became the head of the union whose name varies Visakha; he became his wife the daughter of a wealthy businessmen and union chief named Dhammadinna, while cloud masses are reborn as the king's courtiers position.

Then Gotama Buddha mundane Christmas birth, after seven weeks of Enlightenment, he comes Benares (Balaam complaints) turning Falun. He taught three Magi hair braided after he began teaching five ascetics, and admission thousand disciples. Then he went to Rajagaha and King Bimbisara dwell on Admin Project Save results with more than ten thousand Brahmin and lay in the land Anga (Ung-old) and Magadha.

But the king's preta around thinking: 'Now that the king would worship ceremony for blessings we enjoy.' While the king made sacrifices, the king thought: 'I do not know now the Buddha was residing where?'. Therefore, the king did not transfer merit to anyone. Since the ghosts did not receive any experimental animals, we are disappointed uttered anguished cries every night in the palace.

Dawning of the day, the King frightened the Buddha about what had happened and asked:

- Buddha, he has yet to hear the like? Child wondering what happened to the child.

Buddha replied:

- Sire, please do not be afraid, nothing unusual happened to the Great King where that prosperity will come to the Great King alone. Now, indeed relatives of the Great King was reborn in hungry ghost. During a lifetime, they were wandering around and just wish this thing: 'The king will make offerings to the Buddha and transfer merit it for us'. Yesterday, when the Great King offertory, the Great King has no merit and virtue. Therefore, they lost all hope and utter cries.

The king asked:

- Buddha, now how we can get the experimental animals?

Buddha replied:

- Sire, verily they can get.

The king said:

- Buddha, Bhagavan so please get my pleas tomorrow, I will transfer merit to his gifts to us.

Buddha accepted.

Then he ordered the preparation of generous offerings, and notice time to the Buddha, he went to the palace. Preta also flock to and think: 'Today we're going to enjoy something to eat', and stood outside the walls and fences.

Then the Buddha makes every preta are currently before the king figure. While lotions offer king king his transfer merit to them with these words: 'We hope this merit for my relatives'.Immediately appeared the lotus pond filled with lotus preta guns for them. They bathe and drink water there, be alleviated their misery because misery, toil and thirst, so they become golden light skin.

The king offered pujas rice porridge and a variety of food and soft hard standing merit and his gifts to us. Instant moment they appear for other food, even food paradise, which they joyfully lived.

The king donated clothes and couch, Vihara and transfer merit to his gifts. Then immediately appear to share the natural health, heaven, couch, scarf and jewelry government. Buddha decided to make all this great happiness their manifest before thee; when he saw that, he was very happy.

Buddha then, after that meal is finished, and is requested, his storytelling preta outside walls instead of words rejoice merit.

2. The clothes bright, white, smooth
New preta, woven fur,
Instant them into hot iron,

The spirit answered:

3. Venerable, this is my wife,
She is not charity, avarice properties,
When I was offered the recluse,

4. 'eating his hope that negotiation,
urine, blood fishy, rotten pus forgiven
him this fate after life,
clothes iron would turn oven baked'.
Because she created evil day,
she had to eat feces until now.
