9. Discrimination on caste 
Brahmin who Assalayana to ask the Buddha: 
"O master Gotama, the Brahmin who used to say:" Only the character line is noble Brahmin most. All other classes are vile. Only new Brahmin beautiful fair complexion. As for the other working-class people, the water soaked skin. Only brahmin is pure high bar. While others are vile contemptible. Only Brahmins who are descendants of the concrete landing Brahma (Brahma), was born from his mouth.They were disciples of Brahma and his heirs. " 
The Buddha replied: 
" Hey Assalayana, so do not how people think? Brahmin women menstruation also like the other women. They also conceive as other women, and nursing mothers. Why Brahmin also from women born again boast themselves as noble than some other classes? ". 
- Bach master Gotama:" But he said this, but they insisted so much. " 
The Buddha asked : 
"So do not listen to people who have few neighbors origin only two classes of people who are homeowners and servants there? And an employer sometimes become servants and servant status changed to Family Home? 
- "Bach said he had it, but some people Brahmin persist that he is more noble." 
- "Hey Assalayana , people think? is the money Brahmin birth offenders living creature killing, stealing, sexual misconduct lie, aggressive, wrong ... after death also fall into four woeful? " 
-" it must be so, the white teacher Gotama, even if man in the line Brahmin, caste to gentlemen, merchants and slaves, once caused the deeds after death will be born into the realm of suffering or punishment of hell. White said he was right, but the Brahmin still assumed she was noble of all, the sons of Brahma cardboard target ". 
-" Hey Assalayana, are affordable only Brahmin who knows to do good, no killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, aggression, wrong ... life after death will be reborn in a happy scene , enjoying heaven blessed place, while the others are not good what? " 
-" O master Gotama, all those who do good and avoid evil, whatever their gender Brahmins, warriors, merchants or employees, all of them were awarded not only the fun not for caste Brahmins. He said very true, but they also believe that he is more noble. " 
-" Hey Assalayana, people think? Is it only Brahmin class knows to follow the road of dignity, said the practice, cultivation of virtue, compassion, charity to become calm, wisdom arises, eliminate negativity, while the other class not? " 
-" O master Gotama, any person in the world is Brahman, soldiers, merchants and slaves were also able to cultivate, cultivate virtue, compassion, charity, to become peace, wisdom arises, eliminate negativity. However, Brahmanical groups also say they are more noble end. " 
-" Hey Assalayana, affordable only Brahmin use soap powder into the river clean bathing while others do not? " 
- "Bach teacher, they were all with bath soap powder will equally not wash, not only the Brahmin. But they still believe you're standing on the other classes. " 
-" Hey Assalayana, for example, there is a call on the King to reign 100 different working-class people, and said: "So that the 100 people, who belong line or a noble Brahmin, go get a bunch of Sala trees, plus trees or dried lotus incense burned on the hot fire. 
"Hey Asslayana Does this mean that only two categories of people can take things above burning a burning flame red, bright, high tops, and two business class and they do not labor? Or those of others, such as hairdresser traps, bamboo basket weaving craftsmen, cooper car wash bucket portion sophisticated people, take the tree section of the trough for pigs, feed the dog, grab bucket dyeing plants, grab rods Castor burned up, they do not get hot, glowing, bright, high tops, or what? " 
-" O master Gotama, any kind of person does, take any plants or animals can also lead any fire lit hot fire, fire red, bright, high-tops. He said yes, but oh my god, Brahman still think they are the most noble. " 
-" Hey Assalayana, add one more example. There are two brothers Brahmin line. An expert who is smart, smooth all three sets of Vedic (Veda) is connoisseur in the sacrifice, and the other ignorant, eccentric. Ask at every opportunity that is ancestral worship a god or priest, who is offering more and more respect? " 
-" O master Gotama, the highly educated, worldly, sophisticated in offering sacrifice is to be respected and offering more beneficiaries. " 
Buddha asked: 
-" But if he Brahmin profound learning, vocational gourmet countless sacrifices that the morality, which brutally vicious inclinations, and the other uneducated the gentle temperament, noble morality, then someone will be offering more and more respectable weight? " 
-" O master Gotama, believers ceremony course candidates will respect and abundant offerings to the Brahmin teacher with pure morality, humble personality, cute. For he has moral, behavioral despicable things can not bring any benefit. " 
-" Hey Assalayana, now people have started to grasp it clear! From facts about race, class, step over spell theocratic stage, final users aware about the important values of human morality is more noble, regardless of caste division race. 
"It is Catechism of the Tathagata so fundamental. "

10. What is the order Samana?
I have heard something like this: 
The other Thuở seated Buddha in the province of l? Ssapura belongs Anga origin. He has theories: 
"This, O monks! People call you recluses and if someone asks to come, you also recognize that. So you have to eat in a way worthy of dignity sa subjects? 
"O bhikkhus, we who are ordained are super Vietnam journey on the road. Thanks to strive to cultivate virtue, we are offering the faithful pilot and four dishes enjoying life items such as fruit bowl triangle y, as the food, shelter and medicine. The practices righteousness is life more good results like treasure.So are not we leave the world of the needy, not gain, but actually ordained as a very noble How useful?And it brings so many fresh fruits noble good. 
"This, monks, also home people do not practice the right way to practice is how? That is:

- Master monks have yearning ambition, nor receive rid of greed
- I have bad thoughts monks from sin and does not seek to eliminate it;
- Master monks also anger gruff nature rude;
- I pretended monks collecting end, hypocrite to deceive believers;
- Master monks also hostile nature, resentments, frustrations;
- Master with nature envious monks did not want anyone other than herself.
- stingy master monks, avarice, ham tom organisms contribute to own the other animals;
- Master monks have cunning deceitful nature, not even using real words, saying tentatively to be giving.
- Master monks there desire underhanded malice;
- Master monks often thought so evil, there is evil nature.

"Tathagata say that the monks refused to leave out the evil nature of sin. We must fall into misery, bear much suffering because not hold true under recluses virtues. They are those who conceal the knife beneath the robe. Tathagata pure air advised the world that when people ask ordained death to step into directing. 
"Tathagata does not think that the moral life can be represented by only those who decisively perfunctory robes, or the naked ascetics, dirty rags, those dust-covered body, who regularly bathe in the river Ganges, those living under the tree, those who tolerate fried weathered frost, plant stand under the hot sun as searing, who laid out food to eat, how unusual, those versed in scripture, spell craft connoisseurs, who are carrying on the top bun. 
"O bhikkhus, if saffron robes with dread eradication force were all disabilities: greed, anger, envy, avarice, cunning, malice, evil is, the parents or relatives only need draped maroon robes baby when it was born and instructed thus: "You are very honored to wear this piece of color, because it is capable of doing evil disabilities dissipate the sin: taking lam, anger, envy, avarice, cunning, malice, evil is ... " 
" There are some monks wear but still carrying dirty dishes but vile body, mind, nor receive removes stubborn streak bad. Correspondingly, the Tathagata does not recognize them as recluses because his draped, like the naked ascetics, dirty, ragged, those dust-covered body, those who regularly go to the Ganges bathing, those living under the tree, those who endured the arduous fried frost, plant stand under the hot sun as searing, who laid out the way other food to eat, often, those versed in the scripture, crockery spell craft, knitting bearers on top bun ... 
"Hey monks, so people have to keep monastic life how to be worthy of the title of recluses? these are: 
- When Mr. Pi there pretentious greed, evil-minded, rude gruff, obtained false end, or animosity, jealousy, stinginess, deceit, malice, false views, but said he is aware of the bad far from ignoble, then to cultivate energy all day adding pure virtue high bar. Tathagata called him truly worthy new titles recluses. 
"I self-test monks take yourself, knowing that you have it removes the mess, escapism from the world.But knowing I was completely clean, who found pleasure with happiness heart high bar. Thoi poetic spirit, body and mind calm, calmly, very satisfied contentment. Instill feelings of love Great, who scattered precipitation from the four winds charity ball eight directions, sprayed from above, below, across and around the middle. Who was freed from greed, anger, delusion, leisurely wandering here and there, no longer anything in fear of anxiety. 
"At this point he became recluses calm lake clear, cool, sweet, there are stairs leading to a fascinating landscape. When the traveler that if he is suffering under the heat cold thirst, body malaise, from the east to go to, he can do mysterious lakes can ask salvation, that body and mind are dressed, gentle poetry Thoi and skim off the agony of exquisite journey. If there are visitors from the west, north, south, or anywhere to also receive the precious mutual mysterious lake. 
"O bhikkhus, when a person belongs to the royal family left the business to seek to live homeless, if known German rules of moral Tathagata, the mind is filled with compassionate people charity.Becoming calm person, such that the force was clearly shaken. Who have attained the marvelous meditation, has eradicate negativity, for the right to practice in the ways of the grade recluses. 
"Those of the line Brahmin caste or other merchants, laborers , leave their families in search of improved living homeless, if known by the German rules of moral Tathagata, then their minds are filled with compassion and charity, being calm is not clear how the unshakable force. those who had attained the marvelous meditation, has eradicate negativity, for the right practice of Career paths recluses.

All the above measures are consistent with the current era, because religions are a large number of rogue elements disturbs jumping in. 
Spokesman saying: "The only assets of the tail and birds wings. he only lived this motto monks with care to cover his piece and rice squeezed alms to no heart. take the triangle where people just bring medical and fruit bowl. " 
Proverbs often said:" Discharge of poverty varies bridge, bridge dedication religion ".However, any age, any religion in any major are also some elements do not have any assets to dispose of, no career to being alive, milled in practice disturb the surface of the religious man, abusing deceived followers to feed the network and sometimes also make a fuzzy is now the other. 
faced with the ascetics, monks, priests, mendicants, covered themselves with brown class casinos, or naked nakedness, extreme hardship, or met the missionaries educated dark, voluble, flesh Rating difficult surface we decide who is the proper cultivation levels. How many people take advantage of saffron robes, who said credit tame by many theoretical experimental cunning duplicity. In public they pretend to collect up like a stork stood a leg, half closed eyes waiting for prey bite but few know is the privacy of their living about? 
There are some practitioners meditating on a show enter the crowd while the sages are secluded in a quiet place away from neighbors, distant person. Grade also said he kept the momentum started well, holding the bowl away from morning to evening and said his new return to beg, under the tree, where deserted lunch break, but when night falls down, the fear of insecurity security. 
Suffering well, the majority worshipers dared not to invade the teacher guilty fear, lying on a mat that is better located land torn. The professor drunk lessons but still the master of the game when in class. 
The second wire this cluster has a long posts, so Buddha articulate new solutions such as on the goal of teaching people how to distinguish who Secretarial evil people to heal seeding on fertile ground, really knows who the "Drain endowed indigent bridge, bridge director selflessness" that leads a simple life like birds only the tail and wings.

11. Knowledge of the blind
"This, O monks! You told Tathagata that there are many groups of ascetics, Brahmins or wandering mendicants of various expenses are favoring direct knowledge of the different , enjoyed the different theories, towards different things, believes different words. 
"O bhikkhus, with groups often defend and believe like this:" the world is eternal immortality Nine. that's the truth, and the other thing is ridiculous, stupid ignorant. " 
Someone else said:" the world will have an end date. And others said that the world will not end. " 
Someone said: "the basis of life is the body. And others say the body is one thing, but life is another matter." 
There are those who say: "I will change after death, others say no" . 
There are those who say: "After death, I will change or not change .. that is the truth, while others are irrational thoughts, are ignorant about foolish". 
Therefore, the Taoist groups, Brahmin or wandering mendicant unusual religious belonging or conflict with each other, eager strife, reasoning, justification, arguing, in defense of his own knowledge and for that : "this is the Dhamma and the other is not. This is true salvation, the other is wrong, etc ... ". 
" This, O monks! The group of ascetics, Brahmins or mendicant wandering blindly that are ignorant, do not know what is the ultimate purpose, what is not. Do not know which is Dharma and what is not.So they often conflict with one another, eager strife, reasoning, justification, arguing in support of its stance. They disputes, defamation several futile because not comprehended what is the purpose of liberation and what is not. 
"You listen to the following story: 
" In ancient times there, also at Savatthi, there is a king presents a game, ordered to put all those blind since birth to preliminary timetable to watch an elephant. The name said to the blind plea, saying, "This is an elephant". And for the few who touched the elephant's head, others elephant ears, others bellies, others the tusks, trunk, legs, the back, tail, tail feathers constellations and telling each blind that is the elephant. 
the king asked groups of people coming blind elephant that is not how? Those who say that first touched the elephant-like pot. People groping to say elephant ears like a fork ..., ivory-like plowshares, tap like a plow, like a sheaf abdomen, legs like pillars, back like a windmill, fishing tail as fake rice plants , constellations like the broom tail feathers. Each agreed that his blind right, fierce dispute, vociferous: "Must yet! Not anywhere! The elephant is this but he is not like that!". Then go to the blind group conflict, kicking each other. The king enjoyed joking with his game. 
"O Bhikkhus, those ascetics, Brahmins, wandering mendicant in other denominations so blind as not to see detailed at all. They do not know where is the purpose of liberation, what is not. which is Dharma and which are not. Probably they always caused the dispute, quarrel, conflict with each other, not knowing clearly what the purpose of the exit, how and what is not and what is Dharma's not.

Rank said ordinary things with the eyes of meat, rational speculation phenomena so often mistaken. Only sages used new superhuman understanding comprehended all things as truth.

Buddha for the ascetics, Brahmins, mendicant unenlightened as the blind, because they have not comprehended the Four Noble Truths and the status of beings kill (Twelve Causes and Conditions) thought idly, wealth basis and that their knowledge is correct truth and deny other theories.

Buddha used the term "goal of liberation" to refer to Nirvana. Okay unenlightened people understand how Nirvana is. Like fish that asked turtles rivers where land has not? And want to know that it can swim in it? Whether explaining how many turtles did not hear it.

Dharma is also talking about the Four Noble Truths, the basic teachings of Buddhism.People just under Eightfold Path (Path Truth) if it is to escape suffering. Also unable to direct Eightfold religion saint results.

The blind eye but the ear does not see, but others said, and the basis for them to envisage things the wrong way.

In six years of ascetic, Siddhartha Buddha Bodhisattva met two master's and Uddaka Alara. Each practice he has different ways and believe he is delivered. Five teachers bigotry ascetics also his ascetic path is correct. After his enlightenment the Buddha took advantage of kabbalah 3500 but still not convinced Venerable Kassapa fire worship and finally resorted to the ultimate miracle called the miracle of the Dhamma (the absolute power of the Lord Chief Tri variable) to complete.

Business Central (Majjhima Nikaya) has recorded an exciting stories related to the Sermon on the following:

"At the time the other, an old man with her Brahmin young wife that he was tưng tiu cushiony. The wife had morning and near delivery forced her husband to buy a male monkey to make friends with kids coming out life. the old husband said: "Pray wait until then to know is reproducible girls or boys. If a son, then I will buy a male monkey for it to play. And then find a girl born female monkey. "He Brahmin begged three times as great, but she did not listen so they coddle out shopping for male monkey to please take his young wife. She brought the wrong husband monkeys to hire workers Rattapani color dyed feather it out to strangers than other monkeys, and told her husband to tell him dyers tormented monkey fur it easy food for the color.

Rattapani dyers who told the old Brahmin that he can dye hair color monkey eating well is part or her part and not be tormented monkey, because to do so it will perish.Only new fabrics can easily eat tormented for color.

And his young wife Brahmin unborn child, not knowing it would be girls or boys, the elderly forced to find her husband bought for the baby male monkey playing, coddle told her husband brought the monkey stained and thick jar it as fabric dyeing. So crazy!

So Blessed, before passing away with Taoist theory Subhadha heard something like this: "Hey Subhadha, you should not ask the religious leaders of pagans are attained saint or a prime location just a few and some taste elect not? You should remember that anyone who belongs race, caste yet, knowing under the Eightfold path, the attainment saints (Arhat) remain. Additionally Eightfold path is no way yet other people can take full liberation. 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.2/12/2016.
