episode 4
17. King Mahanama not be stopped except negativityBlessed One the other youth was staying at the garden's fig trees in line Shakyamuni territory, near the capital Kapilavatthu (Ca Ti La Ve). Prince Mahanama find there, bowed respectfully, sat next to him and asked:
"Exalted, previously I have heard and understand His Teaching the theory this way:" Greed makes the mind miss you. Anger makes dirty mind. Ignorance makes dirty mind. "And I was conceived Dharma rightly so. But do not know why sometimes greedy thoughts invaded my mind. The thought of hatred, delusion again invade the mind and bother me.
"Exalted, so children spend in my body makes negativity Join - Golf - Si a sometimes invade disturb my mind like that?"
"Buddha replied:
"Hey Mahanama, because people do not have to get rid of" the expenditure "should the state Join - Golf - new Si few have the opportunity to invade the mind. Maybe so Mahanama, if" the expenses "which was put out off and do not exist, where people are busy with the family? in the family who found many pleasures to satisfy the craving. Because "the expenditure" should be fired such that new people prefer to live in family to find the most satisfying pleasures of greed.
"Hey Mahanama, lust (the world of sense) that smell? We just make crazy island disappointment.Ceiling color is that desire extreme misery. If the world knew noble death identified in accordance with the truth, greed is bad, but not be abandoning the search for pleasure center in the ceiling color, where the person does not find happiness and become noble.
"This Mahanama, and the world knew noble element used great wisdom for introspection shows clear these things, know the infinite thirst of desires, understand the misery of that crazy bad ceiling identity clear away their sins and be happy just happily, become noble, when known to avoid the search according to the five desires pleasures.
"Hey Mahanama, the part Tathagata unenlightened time, when not results Enlightenment enlightened, while still fighting to succeed Wisdom, I also noticed that the heart desires vicious bastard. But apart from the worldly interests evil sin, I will not find peace and happiness anywhere. I was not trying to flee and tried to pursue after them. Until the ultimate intellectual achievement, new I comprehended the actual nature of the current greed and know that only desires to live apart newfound peace and happiness, the new becomes sublime. Then we tried to stay away, not seeking worldly pleasures anymore.
"Hey Mahanama, the pleasures of the mind craving merely state reception by the senses. The hearts are contented delight as they put in. The anguish of greed is not wanted any thing. or it's okay to lose because of burning fire, flood or being carried away thieves.
"the suffering of the pain of craving attention is this: "It makes belligerency between these people and others, the generator of injury deaths, causing damage to the neighbor, then have pain because of punishment, torture, beheaded". Sentiment suffering of greed is like that.
"Hey Mahanama, a youth and that, last Tathagata dwells on Vulture Peak (Mount Vulture)." Meanwhile in Heishan County mountain side of the hill Taoists have a lot of naked ascetic sect "Standing" not when sitting or lying. Because they know how to bear suffering hardship.
"One afternoon, after the usual production, Tathagata stand up, to take steps towards the religious walk naked and asked:
" O you of this! Why do people live naked, standing there not sit chair, refused to stay in bed? Doing so these people suffer attrition surely know what? ".
" Group nude replied:
"Hey man, our teacher rabbi Nathaputta (Ni-event from) very clever wisdom, understood all all. He was successful assertive Wisdom and declared thus: "Whether at rest or in motion, contingent or consciousness, Mind and Wisdom of our label is not interrupted." He also taught us: "O this the Magi!Previously you had caused the data now. So today you must persevere austerity, bear hardships such pain to compensate the ancient sin. When the body such tormented, tortured body and mind such restraint, make you out of paying painful results of future meetings. By way of austerity, you have to destroy the old industry and new industry such cause, no new behaviors. The new behavior is not a cause to terminate. Now destroyed, the anguish also dissipated. No, the feeling of no longer suffering.Feeling no longer the thousands suffering drought will wear. "That's the best of us. We should rejoice in the knowledge he boasts."
"Hey Mahanama, about which the Tathagata told naked people:
'O you his naked! So the people have to know their past lives have born as a human? Could it be that these people think that his past life as a human being not be reasonable? ".
-" This man, we do not know. "
-" The people who know their past lives has caused or has shunned industrial data not guilty? ".
-" We do not know. "
-" The people have to know in your past life have caused evil sin How not? ".
-" We do not know. "
- "the people have to know the past suffering, the suffering is stored, plus the present suffering, we can not eradicate the source of suffering?".
- "We do not know?".
- "these people may think that doing so in the present life, the evils of sin terminated and will achieve good purpose not noble?"
- "We do not know."
- "O this you naked! The people have recognized that his unknown past lives were human status or not? Did not know his past life or karma caused the data now? Do not know when this behavior is how? Do not know the past and now storage industry has caused suffering, plus the way the current practice can damage the body can not eradicate the source of suffering? The person did not know if the present life of the evil of sin are terminated and noble purpose was accomplished? Thus the naked ascetics no different from those of people being born into the realm of misery, bloody hand for causing the data now. "
-" O Master Gotama! Happiness is not achieved by the stars of joy filled. In fact, just by way of ascetic man desire to escape suffering. If the full wealth bring happiness, then certainly the king Senya Bimbisara (Bimbisara) is completely happy. Because the king live life richer golden master Gotama so much. "
-" The Magi said he did not hurry up steam thoroughly thoughts. Tathagata ask: "So between the two characters do not noble, I and King Bimbisara, who is more than happy."
- "Hey teacher venerable Gotama, it is indeed, we had to rush headlong , without thinking to say that happiness is not achieved by the stars of joy filled. Only through ascetic way forward out of suffering human beings. If the full wealth brings happiness, the king would Senya Bimbisara is completely happy. so live life king richer golden master Gotama a lot. But it should aside and we would like to ask again: "so do not between two noble character, virtues king Bimbisara and respected teacher Gotama, who lived the life happier? ".
-" Go ask the Tathagata session, the person should answer for satisfactory way. So what do you think?The King Magadha was Senya Bimbisara could yet stay not move or utter a word such silence during seven days, seven nights, but still from happiness. "
-" Hey man, that was okay. "
- "and the Tathagata, they may keep quiet body did not move, did not utter a word during a day and a night, but still totally happy and peaceful. Not only would, Tathagata can stay, not uttered a word quiet for two, three, four, five, six, or seven days and seven nights, but still be completely happy. So what do you think of? Between Magadha Bimbisara King and I, nobody happier? ".
-" Master venerable Gotama, if so, he would be more than happy joyful king of Magadha was Senya Bimbisara then ".
Now it happen in many groups the argument monks dispute led to conflict with each other by force.The people know very frustrating troubles. These monks are not involved are known to harass the notification, the Buddha taught: "This, O disciples! When disobedience as morality, no virtue and hatred invade you, it is better to sit in a chair apart, feet dancing motioned wear jewelry, or sparring, but should not scrimmage together ".
the advice of the Buddha turned no results. One other monks to the Buddha said: "I would like to sincerely invite Buddha, out of compassion charity coming to check out and teach."
Consecutive Buddha monks coming between groups in conflict and talk about Dighiti Dighavu son prince of Kosala. After a war, the king betrayed Dighiti defeated and victorious king Brahmadatta king of Kosala Kasiraja get carried away with the queen in prison awaiting execution.
"This, O monks! Then youthful prince Dighavu play mind thinking: "It was not long appointment to visit his parents. So we come to the roads today. Then the young man went to Benares Dighavu see the King and Queen were tied to Ke Bang seconds, shaved head and led the soldiers through the streets between the echoing drums. Seeing this guy walked up to the parents. See the king of Kosala Dighiti yelled: "Hey Dighavu dear, I should not ... I do not to extend so impatient hurry. Because you can not take the hatred is hatred wash. Only rid of hatred new extinguish the hatred ".
" this, O monks! When the people heard this thought: "Maybe this king of Kosala Dighiti crazy or delirious? Boys Dighavu not involve anything, why did he say: "Do not ... do not lead to lasting impatient hurry?". Dighiti king replied: "Hey guys, I'm not mad or anything delirium. He who has awoken to understand my words."
"This, monks, the soldiers took the king of Kosala and after the queen around the roads of the city and then back out under the door to the south. They cut off the king and queen Kosala into four songs carried away in all four directions in the suburbs, leaving a guard and then withdraw.
"then he instant Dighavu bring youth went into Benares spirits for drink drunk military guards. When we fall drunk lying on the ground, immediately collect the remains Dighavu parents to stake back to the priest, with hands go round three times.
"O Bhikkhus, finished Dighavu boys went into the woods crying wilder then pushed back to Benares rate, subject to the barn near the house of the king said to the chief insisted: "Sir, I look forward to learning the trade elephant control."
- "O young man! Well, this guy on that school. "
" Hey monks, ringing a morning weather, the prince Dighavu from the elephant stables, with the magic voice deep melodious sing, and occasionally Republic with bewitching flute move in the morning breeze gently purity. The King Brahmadatta of Kasi awake at the time, heard the voice flute soaked irresistible military asked almost immediately said: "So do not he who from early morning in the elephant stables, flute and singing wonderful euphonic like How? ".
-" O Lord, the application for a new guy on the job training for his elephant control it. "
-" So you take her back here for I do my watch. "
-" yes, yes ".
" When Dighavu arrived, the king asked:
"Hey there gentle young man, you have the flute and sang in the forest to the sky at that?".
- "O Lord, must".
- "So let your home flute and sing listening station again see? ".
" Prince Dighavu obedient and talented to bear all the grace and confidence of the king.
"king Brahmadatta of Kasi said:
-" Hey guys meekly the other, so you stay here so I do my ".
" the young man obeyed Dighavu and become trusted servants of the king.
"He woke up earlier than the king, went to bed after the king, please obey labor and operating the according to his judgments, which conditioned acquiescent inclinations, cute words. Not long after he was king Brahmadatta credit party has always lived close to him.
"O Bhikkhus, king Brahmadatta day Kasiraja says: 'O my dear boy! Thou shalt arrange a deck of long distance for us to go hunting. "
" Win the horse finished Dighavu to tell the king:
- "O Lord, long distance was about to set, ask him to arbitrarily".
"This, O monks ! king Brahmadatta of Kasi and his car sits on the horse reins Dighavu sought entourage soldiers separated from the rear and then scattered through other lane. after passing a long way off, the king said: "Behold, dear boy, you stop the car for hundreds of years to rest a little. "
" Prince Dighavu obey stop the car, walked to the ground sat cross two legs. Germany Brahmadatta lay down his head on his thigh and then sleep coma for road weary.
"This, monks, then the young man Dighavu arises thought:" The king Brahmadatta of Kasi has caused to the family It untold suffering. Because we lost all his troops, tanks, treasure, wealth, Jiangshan.Forums that he killed our parents. Now the time has come to wash hatred ". As he drew his sword and finished out of the shell. But he remembered the words of his father did before:" It should not last long, O dear son! ... No so impatient hurry. Because hatred is hatred wash okay and just get rid of hatred may they extinguish hatred. Thus one should not disobey his father taught. "Thinking is done, Dighavu to your sword. He thought the matter so the second time, third time and then to guomg into the shell.
" This, O monks! At that time, King Brahmadatta suddenly snatched his sleeping panic. Dighavu He asked: "O Lord, do not know at the pretext for? He is sleeping soundly again suddenly startled, horrified expressed such fear?".
"The king replied:" My young friends ! I do my prince asleep dreamed Dighavu the king of Kosala was plucking Dighiti killing sword should attempt new horror startled so scared. "
" This, O monks! Then the prince put his left hand on the head Dighavu Brahmadatta, right hand plucking the sword out of its sheath and said: "It is I Dighavu here. I'm the king of the east offers Dighiti prince of Kosala. Great King has caused so much suffering for my extended family. He has destroyed the troops, armor, treasure, wealth, stretch our san. Forums that he also killed both my parents. Now it was time to wash hatred " .
"O bhikkhus, king Brahmadatta of Kasi immediately bowed legs kneeling down Dighavu MOP pleaded:" O dear Dighavu! Be spared her life and downs, let whole network stations ".
" Dighavu answered:
- "O Lord, how I can forgive him unto death? It should his new capacity must excuse me."
"The king said:
- "then pray thee, for I do my neighbor and I do my dead guy also to be safe."
"this, O monks! How Brahmadatta and Dighavu are rejoices eliminate hatred spared her life together.Two people holding hands oath will not hurt each other. "
" Then King Brahmadatta of Kasi said:
- "Dear friends Dighavu Hey, that guy just ordering of long distance for us to return." Dighavu obedience, two people in the car to go back into the lifeguards.
"This, O monks, King Brahmadatta of Kasi about to reign in Benares Assembly immediately for all his officials and said:" Behold the Secretary if the prince met the king Dighiti Dighavu Kosala, the Secretary will behave like? "
" Some official said before: "Sire we will chop his hand. we'll chop his leg. we will firmly always their hands. We will cut his ear. We will follow his nose. We will cut his nose ears. We will behead him. "
" the king said:
- "Well, this is the king prince Dighavu Dighiti Kosala. But most depressed no one touched him.Because he had spared her life, and I do my commitment to him and I do my whole body. "
" Then Brahmadatta Kasiraja asked:
- "O dear Dighavu! But why father had told him before his death:" Do not be so ... Do not be prolonged impatient hurry? ".
" Dighavu answered:
"O Lord, before his father's death has told:" Do not be so extended. "It means not to prolong hatred further. He said: "Do not be impatient hurry!" It means do not be eager to entice friends to revenge attacks. His father said, "could not get washed hatred hatred, but only with a new desire to get rid of hatred hatred extinguished. "there is thought that when the Great King killed my parents, if I find a way to harm him, the course of his military offices will kill me, and then my friend's party seeks report the soldiers slaughtered resentment of the Great King. Doing so okay taken to extinguish hatred unto hatred. O Lord, but now, he has spared his life for me and I did not kill him. so the end abandon hatred was extinguished hatred. these are the words of his father stared before promoted galaxy. "
" this, O monks! At that time, King Brahmadatta of Kasi said: "Excellence instead! The young man was very smart Dighavu be acquired in the words hinted cryptic parting words before death of his father." After saying he ordered the soldiers returned, tanks, treasure, wealth, land for Dighavu and he always princess for him. "
The Blessed One theory further:
" O Bhikkhus, that is as durable center , patience, need approval of the kings ruled the galaxy. And for you is the one ordained Dharma angle to find ways of holiness, you have to patiently persevering how to obey the Truth About Conservation Law luminous radiance around the world. "
The Buddha taught add second and third again: "So you (the conflict are) stop, stop disputes, stop conflict, argument alone". and also three times the recalcitrant monks replied: " Exalted, He is the One Holiness, please persevering patience to live happy and peaceful. And things quarrel, dispute, conflict, scrimmage is part of our responsibility ... and we will continue. "
The Buddha thought:" We were real crazy stubborn, stubborn, reclining accept the change and not easy to teach. "After saying that he stood up to leave.
The above demonstrates that not only are current only occur every discord in the Sangha. At Buddha in the world, cases of conflict between the monks argument once thrilling and high level so that he does not settle well and to withdraw into the forest wilderness, left to their disputes with each other. But the believers of his time wisely wise, when no longer knows the pure self-giving food again. Recalcitrant monks, because hunger deprivation of visiting Buddhist to find.19. The log is drifting out to sea the
There are many elements ordained morality wealth, jealousy, separation, enmity which disciples are still offering full prosperity should serve tiny whispering still proud, the back, the road continues to ascend steps on sin to destroy Buddhism. If we know a good choice for growing fields such as the ancients knew how they benefit?
Principles of Buddhism is: "Compassion, charity, selflessness, strength of mind, patience". Gandhi also follow the way to organize a movement that "nonviolent resistance" against the British Empire for 30 years. He said: "The patience of nonviolent causes of the terrible blow from falling into the void, void, because there was no response."
In the story above, the two monarchs Dighiti, and Prince Brahmadatta Dighavu are courageous character, extraordinary virtues, should behave properly knows the right thing.
the king of Kosala Dighiti defeated and captured the queen, knowing how not avoid death be told the should not vengeance.
Prince Dighavu very clever filial piety, the blessed through karmic offenses, should act according to his father stared, not to harm the enemy.
And king Brahmadatta of Kasi not win because that return so arrogant, vain, cruel, that the Prestige respect, appreciation gentleman attitude of winter supply Dighavu, should return all selected giang san and his career as prince consort.
Old people are more sincere upright qualities, know the right treatment in the spirit of Buddhism should be happy every happily. Today the fascination people matter, narrow mood of selfishness, ego, evil act unconsciously to eventually have to suffer. This story should be eternally illuminated mirror.
Blessed One theory:
"This, O monks! Ye have seen floating logs on the water tent Ganges Beu that?"
"If it does not stick to the side pulled or into the other side. If it did not sink under the water is flowing. If it is not stuck at the bottom of the deep. If it is not of human beings or non-fished classes taken. If it alluring flood was not shattered, and if it does not rot in the gut position, then of course it will float logs to smooth out off, it slowly drifted out to sea, it will glide through the waves billows, beyond the obstacles to drift out to sea. "
" this, monks, is also like that, if you do not pull over on this side or the other side. If the person is submerged in the water there is flowing . If the person is not of human beings or non-human classes harmed. If the person is not being swept away and if the person does not rot inside position, and you will walk on Nirvana, slowly drifting to Nirvana. You will overcome difficult obstacles to get to Nirvana. "
" O Bhikkhus, this coast of the Ganges is the realm of senses with nature subjective. The other side is the realm of the senses with nature objectively. Sink under the water is flowing alluded boundless desires of life. Stuck at the bottom of the river is the ego mind, clinging flighty life, said that this is my body, this is mine, this is me.
"As human beings belong to harm you like?"
"Such is the case of the family who are attached between the secular heart, delight or must suffer for life, to divide the pleasure scratched suffering with those who live around you, always busy because demand , because of the family ties did not know until just finished the task.
"But you are non-annexation classes like?"
"It's about guys in quest of enlightenment ultimate desire to be born again as devas. Constant prayer that person, saying, "May the merit of hard on the practice, rules of moral asceticism in accordance with the ascetic, I will be reborn in heaven."
"Being floodwaters swept away meant ceiling fall into sleep seven sins ".
" and rot inside section about? "
" This is referring to the vile contemptible man, no animal morality underhanded network evil, or hide his error, virtue often brag. as your fellow passengers or deception, cunning, high sewer, leaning network, filthy body and mind, hearts filled with lust for junk pile rot as forgiveness. "
Buddha monks for teachers as the river drifting logs, no longer bind any thing, abandon their homes in search of living bodies loneliness before a storm. So he must try to be careful, not to get attached to the trap of satanic evil in many cases sin and only focused towards the ultimate goal is Nirvana.20. Status rid of
The world, since time without beginning, has suffered heavy physical impact, there are enough intelligent mind and the ability to bring fame is easy money, but could not comprehend the reality of human well as the stars. Therefore they give away is beautiful and fought to consolidate short human lives is justified.
On this, the Buddha deliberately encourage ordained chemical levels should try to cultivate virtue, wisdom to know yourself in every action, word and thought, it will eventually escape the cycle of birth and death, as well as logs floating on the water tent Beu overcome all obstacles to the ocean drift appearances.
the laity Someone named Potaliya visited the Buddha and said:
"Exalted, now I have to suspend the commercial business and leave all the work every day." Buddha replied:
"Hey who the laity, those everyday tasks that people just said is one thing. But the daily work in the ways of virtue who have a different story.
" Men of the laity ! There are eight things that people learned of the family need to practice to get rid of daily tasks are:
- Do not look at two things and trying to avoid being killed."That's eight daily tasks that people need to practice virtue.
- Do not take anything of others and try to avoid spending nobody won their dishes.
- Do not lie, and try to use the word of truth.
- Do not speak ill others and try to avoid piercing words.
- No desire to avoid evil and greed.
- Do not criticize others and try to avoid criticism.
- Do not try to avoid anger and aggression anger .
- Do not try to drain highly arrogant and impatient modest.
" Hey, who the laity, meaning about killing creatures learn about?
"For example, there are employers thinking Family Development Center "I just tried to abandon the violent nature of the living creatures, because it is very harmful obstacle. If killing creatures would be guilty conscience about brutal aggression. Those who know the formula of gentle reproach to us that the wicked. After death, the body to melt we'll fall into the realm of misery. That's what the obstacles on the way ethics. Stay away from animals born murdered that brought us from now on the following data.
"Men of the laity! Like dogs off their skinny bodies atrophied for lack of food, running into the furnace Butchers meat is hard for non-stick cow bones and little meat there was a little blood dripping out okay enough no heart. Then also he who presented the death need to think like this: "These excellent sensual and that other expenditure ceiling dry bones not only help to relieve hunger and bring more suffering alone."
" thanks to the wise know to comment in accordance with the actual work was not mistaken, the world does not need to care about the death of the disastrous and futile attempt to find the truth, the truth as development, trying to extinguish the longing heart covetous thirst for things of the earth structure to the level had no desire anymore.
"Men of the laity! It was abandoned in accordance with the methods of the world virtuous disciples. these are daily work that noble man should strive to practice ".
"O Bhikkhus! Tathagata does not think that enlightenment can be as easy quick success that is the result of meticulous hardship of austerity practiced from the period in accordance rules to the level of rhythmic progression during scheduled practice.
"In this case, a man who had come to faith (good knowledge level) attention, slang headset Dharma and try to memorize by heart . Who tested the importance of learning French and is able to delight in the Catechetical Centre. Who became fervent, spirituality awakening, consider right and wrong to harass decided to practice the right way according ambition. Who is the true Dharma concept of truth and then use separated intelligence, heuristics, perceived wisely.
"Here are four methods for the world as a new element entered the church:
1) Legal Effort evil away from sin."You listen here:
2) Diligent glance from the vile contemptible.
3) Effort to make good progress in law.
4) Effort preserve the noble approach.
Diligent away the evil methods: In this case the electronic world try to cultivate such mind it provocative thoughts or evil acts are not sinful as they arise. whenever a collision with the ceiling color or anything that people did not care about and pay attention in terms of the status bar ignoble mess of ceiling color. You think about the devastating retribution if uncontrolled bases .
Diligent glance from the vile despicable thing: the world itself to death trying to train the mind to pass from the law sin was evil arises, give all the energy that dwells thought and try to destroy them not for recurrence.
Effort made to develop good methods: the world's goodwill towards his death on the good works do not arise for Seven Elements of Enlightenment (bojjhanga) is progressing further, with fun center where bars wilderness, trying to extinguish the negativity to go once to liberation.
Effort to preserve the noble allowed: the electronic world has always focused on the good things that have arisen noble then, do not let the lofty thinking it dissipated, but try to make it grow to perfection level (Bhavana), the mind is always wise to fight.
"Hey monks, despite shifting under his learning with a lack cardinal virtues, tom everyday worries many possessions profit contribution, his games will not be free to do whatever they do, do not obey the rules. The disciples must also respect him not dare stubborn stubborn stubborn, let loose arbitrary ".
" Thus, when asked for a study to find the Omniscient One who has Vinaya stately, sumptuous living outside the lines , dispose of fame fortune, the world would people need to be restrained death discipline like?
"to this, when an electronic world with faith in Dharma and Dharma wants angle to the course to recognize: "Lord and Master Tathagata and his team is to play. Throughout all his information, and his heart was dark ignorance ".
"There docile submissive nature like, Dharma will bring energetic particles gender and presto tons of merchandise. He took the Dharma do principles and thought:" I will wholeheartedly strive to practice diligently. Whether for meat, skin, tendons, bones had been exhausted. Dried blood though we did not retrogression. I determined to diligently cultivate virtue if not achieve the purpose for which man can achieve with ability and energy.
