Eight aspirations of Pi far from laywomen.

Laywomen and far from the Buddha Bhikkhu

Buddha at the Vihara Dharma teaching Member States for goods fourfold. He said for every wide merit lay to donations. He says: "  A ten, ten being hundred sow, sow hundred are thousands. The right to know  the merit  of offering a bowl of rice handouts will gain immeasurable blessings. "

Skeptics have asked: " O Buddha! Child is a human being, can not understand his profound teachings. How for a bowl of rice that can collect more merit to like that? "

Buddha explained: " The trees you see Sentence Recommended Ni it? Tree of Life University luxuriant foliage, shade cover four or five miles away and fall to the ground each year tens of thousands of thousands of particles Ni Sentence Recommended.

However, beginning only grow from a tiny seed germination. Likewise, the rice bowl of the above-na offerings benefactors like Ni particles such sentences to the other. "

Buddha only a small example, but simply to make people aware clearly and fully the meaning of merit to donations. From then on, the people are very happy Sravasti together glad to donations for planting complete blessing.

One day, there was a benefactor to the monastery women bowed, kneeling his hands said: " White Exalted! My name is Pi-amnesty-past, in the Xa-defense. Please Bhagavan graciously promised possibility for my pleas. Tomorrow we rose to take him home with you a meal, that we cultivated field of merit . "

Buddha knew the sincerity of the mainland silent benefactor promised possibilities. As for  Pi far away , Bhagavan was promised the possibility of heart overjoyed, worship the Buddha of the preparation.

The next morning, the Buddha and his disciples to her home for a meal. When everyone finished that meal, she knelt before the Buddha, acknowledges the coming of the sangha and begged: " Blessed Bach, the eight the petition, please Buddha of compassion for reception, to the cultivated merit. "

Buddha said: " She just said it a try! "

Pi far from sparse: I hope Bhagavan promised possibility for the 8 aspirations following:

- First: Offering raincoat to monks monks when the rainy season comes. 
- Second: Offering to monks monks entered the Sangha. 
- Third: Offering the necessities to monks, monks go billion- traveled afar. 
- Wednesday: Offering medicine for sick monks and monks. 
- Thursday: Offering the necessities to monks, monks sick. 
- Friday: Offering the necessities to monks monks monks sick animal. 
- Saturday: barley porridge Offering to monks monks. 
- Eighth: Offering swimsuit for bhikkhunis beings.

Buddha, which is eight aspirations that I cherished for a long time. Now I would like to be offered a lifetime. He promises possibility begs for eight con.Duc Bhagavan said this is very equitable, necessary for the sangha.

He said: "  Hey Pi far away! Very good! I consent to give her consent. Pi far from this! Reason she wants to do this? "

Pi far from answered, revered sir! A few days ago I was preparing food want to invite Bhagavan premium monks and monks to the real-life figure. Son told the maid to invite him and the monks. She went not long back, Bhagavan said there was no monks and monks. I felt strange, can not have this conversation. Since that time Bhagavan often meditation samadhi in flavor loss. Also lettered monks were they going? After being told that because they do not have a raincoat. Whenever the rain, the care he took in monasteries on. That day it rained, she came, saw the monks do not wear, she sometimes went ashamed to return. Because of lack of means out when rain, so I thought about offering a raincoat for him.  That's why the first aspiration.

- Aspiration second reason is:  Chu first ordained monks, holding bowls seeking alms. Although you have to beg on the road is very long, but as yet few people prestigious offerings, not eating enough food. The monks have to thanks to the brotherhood monks scratched his food to the monks this front.

- Tuesday Aspirations:  Chu when monks traveled to many different locations, on the road to beg Common difficulties needy. So may I be offered the necessities to monks, monks traveled afar when traveling.

- Wednesday Aspirations:  Chu monks illness should be cured using a new medication. So very practical if you provide medicine to you, brethren are sick.

- Thursday Aspirations:  Chu sick monks needed items actually needed to help foster a healthy body quickly. This makes it possible not to care about.

- Friday Aspirations:  The tributary feeding monks billion- sick parade, because duty to care for the sick, so I can not go begging. Could it be all right to expect other monks seeking alms for the scratched divided forever, so much sorrow as well consciousness. So I vow to make offerings to the gods bowl monks sick animal, you have time to help care for patients better.

- Expectation of children's Saturday:  The Exalted often hear praise porridge 10 benefits. Chu monks way out need to go out to beg, I would like to make offerings to them for use barley porridge healthy practice in peace, do not bother to track it. So may I be worshiped forever barley porridge to monks monks.

Eighth aspirations:  When we come riverside bathing place, often see the same lettered bhikkhunis shared bathroom with worldly woman. Occasionally, the prostitute bathing same place, they teased laughed saying  she bhikkhunis! The beautiful her young age gracefully, why live life like purity. At a young age, then spoiled enjoyment ceiling roses, old age to take into account the life story monastic purity. Price wise that she was so understanding, the reason why she does not know this, but. "

Buddha, daylight like body with shared bathroom ceiling female population it is difficult to see. If you are wearing bathing suits as us so it is really convenient bathroom. I hope Bhagavan approved eight this offering. He bent for promising possibilities for human compassion. 
Exalted to the pleas of the credit away from the female monk, do not speak or denying anything saying, far away! I know the noble heart of her release, with such helpful deeds, she has wish for anything? "

Pi said that far from  " Da! Supposing I saw monks relative died Bhagavan said hearing the other monks carried enter nirvana, he had attained enlightenment and Arhat. I'm going to think that the other monks at Sravasti not? Then someone told me was true monks in monasteries Member States. I know you, brethren stock Arhat has received donations of goods when traveling con.Chu increase each child receives donations, real characters illness and medicine. They are saints. Fortunate children associated with them, because this merit will be given the infinite peace, infinite happiness. Venerable sir! For the peace of mind, the eight operating lifetime vow this offering. "

Spleen female religious aspirations of the truth is far from honorable

Buddha praised her praise, saying, " Her aspirations are admirable indeed, I was very happy to accept the offerings above eight. That's right feet alms, makes the mind is always secure, always be happy themselves. Need to respect, this employment growth, not to mind and arise, and do not seek the reward of the people. That really is the most noble generosity.

If alms with wish so, then blessed himself will be  happy  for long. The recipient of the donation and also be like .Ty far away! And this too: If people knew discharge such material resources, material resources and sooner or later someone dropped out. Not by current brought to donations will benefit hoarding donor durable merit. That's what the wealth plundered nothing can be. "

Pi away from the open market Exalted hear and accept the petition, being pleased immense joy. She saw the Buddha's halo illumination around the four sides around him. She is as clean bathing in the warm rays of light from the Blessed One, she felt incredibly peaceful body and mind in order. She silently thanked the incarnation of Buddha in the world. Who gave her life so happy.END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/12/2016.
