1- Leave (-595)
BC 595 years , state-Siddhattha was 29 years old [1] . Princess Yasodhara just given birth to a son, Rahula only [2] seven days. After the banquet happy birthday granddaughter of the king's birthday, the night was too late, everyone tired-tired. The Emperor Sakka Indra is Sakka Indra.[3] Use the power to make all the troops and women fall asleep, lying all-around everywhere. Crown-eater felt anxiety can not sleep, thinking to myself this unique opportunity to leave. He watched the princess Yasodhara and Rahula for the last time to say goodbye. The two mother and daughter together create a warm image of harmony sacred, high, innocent, passionate, smooth-eared emotions, relieved foot. The Prince suddenly remembered the river of love, the infinite suffering of living beings for many generations, he immediately stepped out to call Channa:
- Channa, you have led Kanthaka here for me.
- Sir, now that it's over midnight, what do you do with your horse?
- The time has come, we go out to direct, do not interfere with me, do not dislike me.
Channa trembled, stealing from the horse. Thai-tai who just up his horse, the sky and earth shake six times. Channa just grabbed the horse's tail when the four Heavenly-King [4] flew down holding the four limbs soared through the city, to the Bhargava (or Khalifa) down. That night dawn day of February 8 [5] The year of tiger (-595), Status-Siddhattha and Channa finds himself on the other side Anoma river banks [6] , from Kapilavastu 36 miles (58 km) to the west male [7] , near the village of Anupiya, Malla. Thai-American sword cut his hair and vowed: " I cut off this tangle of hair to get rid of the brain-brain disturbance and obesity. King Sakka Indra took his lapel and flicked his head to the basilica and built the pyramid, and thought to himself, " We have to change that one too. newly ordained minister . "Indra said Sakka made the instant chemistry hunter, holding a bow and arrow, his golden robes-sa go. Thai-mail seen asking:
- Why did he wear a monk's robe and go to work killing so?
" Sir, I'm wearing this dress so the deer can not see running away. Thanks to that I can hunt so much.
- He dressed in a monk's clothes and did not kill the monk. And I want to leave the bride to escape without a tuxedo. So you should change your shirt with me.
Sakka Indra in honor of taking off the robes of the Crown Princess. He also took off his shirt.Thai-happy happy to wear a cocktail [8] , the use of natural modification, thinking: " From here I have a formal appearance ."
Before the retired [9] , the gentleman said to Channa:Hey Channa, we see the world, the body far apart, but when they get together, their minds still follow each other. There are also close relatives but the mind does not match their minds are far apart. I left the palace of the throne, only you follow me here. I will stay in this deserted area, but you should bring my costume to the Sub-King and said: Animals in life, the Thai do not think, do not desire, nor born to the heaven to enjoy the five kinds of education, and not to be angry, but angry The path of the wrong path, do not know the main road, drowned in the cycle of birth and death, so Thai-born volunteer to find methods to solve them. Bade please do not sadden Thai-born. If the Sultan said that I was a little old, should not be ordained, then he said: Majesty, the network of infinite people is not limited-age, who is sure to old to die. You say to my aunt: People are born in life, love is a day-separation, I want to excuse the suffering should go to school, please do not remember what to do mourning. You should also tell the princesses that we want to break the veil of ignorance, wish to become the right mind and then return to lead people to liberation."
Channa finished listening to greetings, death tears, horse back to the city.
Channa came to the palace; Queen Pajapati, princess Yasodhara and the two women of Gopika and Migaranika, and women who saw Channa without seeing the Crown Prince asked anxiously:
- Where are you now?
- Empress Dowager, Crown-eater has left the five-dish sex to seek relief clearance. He is currently in the forest, wearing a hairdo, cutting off his beard, becoming a monk. Please happy birthday-happy!
" I have aunt you," said the queen, "how dare you let yourself be alone in a cold, poisonous, poisonous place, to take care of your life?
- Ladies and gentlemen, take the child back to present her this costume and please her peace of mind, do not worry, soon the Crown Prince will come back right.
"Your home harms me without cause," said Princess Yasodhara. "What have you got back here yet?
- Ladies and gentlemen, crown prince surpassed by the gods of the gods to make people sleep, then four Heavenly God down four feet of horses to fly to heaven, but this is just a guy. by the way.Please forgive me. But that is great, precious! When Siddhartha flew over the dazzling natural wall, the sun shone brightly. What a strange!
Going to the royal palace, Kanthaka is saddened, left to eat for a few days and falls dead, reborn in the sky of Tavatimsa.
Thai Siddhattha, now known as Gotama, stayed on the banks of the Anoma River for seven days, enjoying the tranquility of the mountainside countryside near Mallu's Anupiya. Here the neo-monk has the opportunity to observe the practice of Bhargava Bhikkhus group. These suffering monks cover the body or the leaves, or the grass, or the bark of the tree; When eating, use the plants, grass, flowers, fruits, have him eat one meal a day, or two days, three days a meal; He worshiped the god of water, fire god, he worshiped the sun, the moon; Have him stand one leg all day, have him put his hands into the sky all day, have him on the thorns, or lie next to the fire, or in the water. Gotama (Gotama) asked:
- What are these ascetic aspirants?
- We hope after death will be born heavenly enjoyment.
- Being born to the heavens, recluses Gotama said, but real fun, but at the end of also blessing the oppressed-touch, samsara in six road [10] ; Finally, suffering in birth and death. I want to find ways to eliminate all the basis of suffering.
Discussion no one also found a good method. Gotama Sa asked to leave to continue the path.Bhargava found Gotama has a good and great general said:
- Hey direct-Organic ago about 120 miles to the southeast, near the capital Vesali of origin which served (Bat-term), there is a director-professor famous, religion-faith deep-wide, financing higher education The name is Alara-Kalama (Al-Kalman) [11] up to 300 students. So Christian should come to talk and see.
Gotama thanking Bharatga and then heading to Alara-Kalama.
King Suddhodana after the egotistical princess surpassed the monk, the night remember, heart-wilt. He summoned trousers and talked about the wrongdoer who led a group of literary gods invited Crown Prince to the palace. In that group of five king-respect Sakya [12] that he Kondanna (Qiao-ceiling-like), Bhaddiya (Bat-threads), Dasabala-Kassapa (low-power-Ca-lettuce) also called Vappa (Mrs. Mahanama-Kulika, Assaji (Assassin, A-da-ra). Delegation to the forest by the river Anoma, meeting with Bhargava, asked:
" Siddhattha, Siddhattha, do you leave home to come here?
" My lord, there is a fellow man who has come here to talk with us, but now he is probably in Alara-Kalama, near the Vesali capital of Vajji.
The delegation immediately retired Bhargava and continued to Vesali, seeking to direct Alara-Kalama. When he saw the princess wearing suits, he knelt down and said,
- Dear Status-mail, Dai-king but knew the state-directed learning death wish ordained long ago, but he still remembered the clock forward, fine-coal-stretching, body-can wear. Please return to the palace soon, Dai-king will set aside a quiet place to crowded eager to study, just in the place where the pain-solitary appearance.
- I do not know the suffering and the depth of the sub-Prince. It is because of wanting to solve root causes of suffering of beings that I have to leave the path. Besides, I now have my grandson Rahula next door to comfort me and succeed me later. Please come back with Sub-Vuong, when the settlement of the suffering of the above beings I will return.
Seeing that Prince-eunuch had full consecration of the monk, the group of five Kondanna brothers volunteered to stay at the Crown Prince, so that the Crown Prince could return to the King.
The first one: Alara-Kalama [13]
When Salma Gotama met the teacher Alara-Kalama, he said,
- Dhamma teacher, please teach the teacher life and spiritual life under the guidance of the teacher.
" Stay with me, young man, my way of teaching to help the early intelligentsia recognize the higher religion with its own intuitive intellect, and realize life in the that enlightenment. Cultivator must eradicate clinging body is falling, until the consummation, the consciousness left the body like a cage bird, let alone fly freely in the three world, that is liberation.
- Dear teacher, the sublime teaching that the teacher realized by intuitional wisdom must be practiced and how the results?
Teacher Alara-Kalama immediately explained to Gotama how to practice the following two levels of training and enlightenment:
1- Not living in fear of death, no desire for worldly possessions, mundane worldly pleasures, willing to cheerfully leave all the pre -meditative , bare immunity). After the general network, Brahma-parisajja, Brahma-purohita, Mahabrahma can be born. First person meditation such as brass water (mind) for a long time, the sediment (affliction) settled down 8/10, the body is softly fun; But when the water is disturbed, the residue becomes irritated.
2 - Away from the worldly pleasures, special joy in meditation-the second Noble Truth-meditation , Satisfying Samsara ( meditation ). After the general network, can be born to the Parittabha, Appamanabha, Abhassara. The person who is meditating like a brass water for a long time, the sediment settling down to the bottom of the brass, the water becomes transparent, the mind is light, clear, clear; But when the water is disturbed, the residue becomes irritated.
3- year base [14] pure. There is no sense of sadness in front of the scene, the mind is always peaceful in mindfulness, the Tam-meditation , reached the Divine Pleasure (by the net five). After the general network, can be born to the Parittasubha, Appamanasubha, Subhakinha. Those who have been meditating like muddy water are deposited in, all the sediment is settling down to the bottom of the brass and was removed out of the 8/10.
4- Six [15] to be pure. There is no sense of discrimination, no persistence of right or wrong, of harassment, of bad, of good enlightenment, of righteousness. The mind always-peace, calm, super-escape, do not stop the four-meditation , reach the Pure Land (Pure net sense). After the general network, it can be born to the realms of the heavens, the Asha, the Avhaha, the Atapa, the Sūtraassana. Sudassa, Akanittha. The meditator is like pure water pure water, there is not a bit of residue. Water can be disturbed, but still clear, not cloudy.
5 -meditation practice, harmony with the limitless universe. Feel yourself and everything can contract a nature, copper dissolved in the realm of emptiness, not border-world, the prime No-Radio-Bien-Parish ( Akasanantya-yatana), is itself not. After the general network, can be born into the first heavens realms. The Noble Truths are like water that has evaporated, is no longer visible, but can be turned into clouds, into rain. The Noble Triumvirate can be possessed by God.
6 -Practical meditation-determination, no longer find themselves with the body, only mind-consciousness is boundless, equality with all beings are not different, gaining Vijnanantya- X ứ (Vijnanantya-yatana is awake. After the general network, may be born into the second heavens heaven.The unrivaled savvy country like water has evaporated slightly, can not be turned into clouds, into rain anymore. Acquainted with consciousness-non-transcendental can be Thien-Nhat-Thong, Thien-A-Thong and Tha-Tâm-Thông.
7 -meditation-meditation until the realization of the dharmas are not, nothing is your own, no nothing to attain, no need set (Radio-basis-use), the prime Radio-Department-Huu-Parish (Akincanna-yatana), are not legal. After the general network, may be born into the third heavens heaven. That is the highest heaven I have realized. Also nothing else . The Noblesse, like water, had evaporated slightly, beyond the atmosphere, with only a little bit of wetness. The Vô-Tô-Hsô-Land can know some of his past lives.
Satma Gotama according to instructions that a few days practice also enlighten the scene of the Kingdom of Heaven. But he was also disappointed that he had not mastered the supreme truth he had hoped for. Teacher Alara-Kalama was happy to see his successful student quickly success, praised that:
- Hey religion-possession, I was extremely welcome-joy is there a respectable fellow as director-organic. The religion I have attained enlightenment with, and declared successful, now has as well realized as me. So let me stay with you, let's join together to lead this group of believers.
- Dear teacher, mind away from the body is still ego, also birth and death. I find myself needing to progress further because my mind is not complete silence, root-born birth and death, but the scene-world has not yet reached enlightenment, the truth has not reached the ultimate truth. I would like to farewell the teacher to continue on the path.
The second leader: Uddaka-Ramaputta [16]
He Kondanna recommend recluses Gotama should come to see him to his former director-professor Uddaka Ramaputta [17] (Uat-hurts-Waving) near the Rajagriha [18] (United-Xa), Magadha (Ma-out -d). Rajagriha, also known as Rajagaha, is about 160 kilometers south of Vesali.Satma Gotama along with five Kondanna brothers traveled ten days to see Uddaka Ramaputta. At that time the teacher was 75 years old and had 700 disciples, 300 study in place and 400 in other places.Teacher said:
- Info-often people tend to accept where image-generals like the men, or accept that these things are formless, such are wrong-touch at all. Consideration should be given to the righteousness, only to the essence of life (l 'essence, the essence, the feet) of all things. So avoid all expectations of ego, human beings, beings, dream, mind not thought (thought not), to the highest results, no longer suffering, and born to the heavens Phi- non-ideal thought .
Satma Gotama entered for a few days to attain N'eva-sanna-nasanna-yatana, which is no longer knowledge-consciousness, nor mind-consciousness. It is so delicate that it is impossible to say whether or not there is consciousness. For example, water has dissolved into oxygen and hydrogen, not water, but water. Believed Uddaka Ramaputta was very happy to say:
- Hey religion-organic Gotama, I am extremely festival-joy is there a virtuous fellow honorable-as religion-organic glass. What I have understood-know and realize enlightenment now also-know-well and realize enlightenment. So, let me stay here to guide this group of people for me, because I am too old, no longer in this world.
- Dear teacher, I see in the scene of Phi phi phi phi idea still have the practice of human sacrifice for the following eight micro-suffering:
1- Mind is thought, it is suffering.
2- Memories are consecutive, it is old suffering.
3-mind concept is not fixed, the strength is not stable, it is suffering.
4 -Power can also be rotten, it is death.
5- Remember, but it is love separation.
6 - There is something not satisfied, it is resentment suffering.
7 - There is no intention to be because of obstacles, it is undue demand.
8- Life, thought, action, awake is not complete, it is warm suffering.
The supreme path, desiring to eradicate the root of all forms of suffering. Chancellor has not done so, so I ask the permission of the teacher to continue on the path.
" Gotama, the teacher Uddaka Ramaputta, said that the high aspirations of the faithful are so great, so when the success of the Buddha, please remember me first.
Accidentally, King Seniya Bimbisara visited Uddaka Ramaputta, who then came to pay homage to Gotama and offered to give him half his life if he stayed with Magadha. After Salma Gotama refused, the king demanded of sa-sa, after successfully returning to his reign.
4- Six years of suffering in Uruvela
(from 595 to 589 BC)
Gotama sees that no one else is better than him so that he can take refuge, it is time for him to self-fulfill his aspirations. He went with his five buddies, Kondanna, Bhaddiya, Vappa, Dasabala-Kassapa, Mahanama-Kulika, And Assaji from the late Uddaka Ramaputta to tapruana (dukkharakrya) in the village of Uruvela, near the city of Gaya, about 30 km east-south of Vesali. , to practice asceticism. At that time, so far, in India, there are many faithful believers strongly that monks and nuns can squeeze the ascetic can overcome and purify the body and mind, kill except all desires, and lead to ultimate salvation. Of course Gotama decided to test this practice.
He went to a secluded cave in the middle of Dungsiri Mountain, starting a decisive battle to fix the body, with the hope that once he mastered all the complex needs and The disturbance of the body, the mind will be freed from the dominance of matter to reach the level of high-emancipation. He struggled to the point of suffering. Eat only leaves, roots, few sesame seeds, beans every day, sleep very little, meditate throughout the day or go business. His body was bare skin, the navel near his spine. The Buddha later recounted in the Majjhima Nikaya (No. 36), his miserable life as follows:
" At that moment the following thought arises to me: Or try to bite your teeth, curl your tongue close to the top of the jaw, and use good thoughts to squeeze, regain and destroy private- Then I bite my teeth, curl my tongue against the top of my jaw, and try to squeeze, tame, kill bad thoughts with good thoughts. As such, the sweat from my armpit flows like a strong man who presses his neck against a weak man, presses down, makes a submission, I fight like that in order to surrender to him. My strength is strong and indomitable, my spirit is stable and yellowish, but my body is tired of not being able to endure the hard times. up to it The painful mahogany arises in my body, it does not affect my heart at all. "
"Then I thought to myself," Well, let's meditate on holding your breath again! "Then I tightened control of my inhalation and exhalation with my mouth, my nostrils, my ears. As if there was a force that squeezed my head with a hard leather band, but my strength was still strong, Those painful feelings did not affect. What comes to my mind? "
Then I thought to myself, "Well, let's meditate on holding your breath again!" Then I hold my breath with my mouth, with my nostrils, with my ears. Just as there is a good-looking or good-looking guy who is using a knife to sharpen my abdomen, but my strength is still strong. -what's my heart? "
"Once again, I thought to myself," Or do I meditate on holding my breath again? "Then I control my breathing through my mouth, my nostrils and my ears. There was a tremendous heat in my body, like two torpedoers clutching my limbs and putting them on a burning charcoal burner until my body was burned down. Such painful sensations do not affect my mind. "
"At that moment, the gods saw me, saying to one another," Gotama died miserable. "Others said: The miserable Gotama is not dying, but is dying. While some others said: "The miserable Buddhist Gotama is not dying, nor is he dying because he is an Arhat, this is the way of an Arhat."
"Then I thought to myself," Well, let's try a complete hunger strike! "At that moment, the gods approached me and said, Sir, you should not go on a hunger strike. So, we will be pouring heavenly supplements into your body through the pores to feed you. I think: If we say that the hunger strike, the gods poured divine nourish the body through the pores to feed us, find out the deceit, we do not need to go on a hunger strike. "
"Then I thought: Or do we just live a pint or vegetable every day!
When I use only very few solid or liquid things, my body becomes skinny like a reed. My desk is only with the pedicure pedicure. My backbone is like a chain up and up. My ribs are like a broken ribs.My eyebrows look like the stars at the bottom of the well. My scalp hair loss, wrinkled like a dried melon. When I want to touch the abdominal skin, my hands touch the backbone. When I want to touch the spine, my hands touch the skin of the abdomen. Because of the lack of food, my belly pressed against my spine. When I wanted to get up and urinate, I ran down the stalk. I banged my limbs and my body back to life. Alas, at such a beating, the hairs on my body were falling down to the ground for dead. Those who see me say so: Gotama black. Someone said: Gotama's skin is not black but green.Some say: Gotama is not black, not green but dark brown. My bright skin has become so bad because of the lack of food. "
"Then I thought: Although the director-artist suffering-well or Brahmin in the past have suffered cold-feeling pains-piercing, pain-pain, mercy-how far it is to this extent is Same, no more, no matter how hard it is for the suffering or suffering brahmanas in the future to endure aching, pain and pity. However, despite the many hardships, hardships, pain, I have not yet attained the ultimate enlightenment of inner beyond the state of child. Or is there any other path leading to ultimate enlightenment? "
T tremendous nostalgia recluses Gotama was near death without achieving aspirant, Ma-Wang metamorphoses approached him and said:
The dying thief, the dying body, The dead hour is near, Your body is dying, there is only one thousandth, But live, O God, life is very good. Please live alone and sacrifice fire sacrifice, you will make many blessings.Having to live life like this suffering to do? The road persistence effort effort kham-suffering, hard-hardship, not easy to accomplish.
Gotama replied:
" The devil, the devil, the sinner of sin and lazyness, you come here for your own sake, I practice with firm conviction, with control I have a strong mind, with diligence and wisdom, I have made up my mind, why do you want to lung me? The more pure the mind is, the more pure the mind is, the clearer, the brighter, the more stable, the more stable, the more painful the mind, the farther away from craving. Clearly what is the purity of a being.
" Ambition is the army of one of you. Legionary second is discontent , the third is lust , fourth craving , Thursday is dullness , Friday was scared, Saturday is nostalgic guests , th eight is false , foolish, ninth is benefit , fortune , honor, tenth is high and contempt.
"Ma-Won, that's your army, it's a guest who's always hidden inside the evil-demons like you." The weak coward was not winning, but whoever overcame him? he is to find happiness.
"I tied up on our banner of grass clusters of Munja. [19] The cowardly life of this world is so humiliating, I would rather die on the battlefield than live in defeat." [20]
Arrived here Ma-Wang look disappointed, depressed, sad, leave.
Nearly 6 years of ascetic practice, the strength of Gotama satirical increasingly weakened, the body thinned by the fasting, awake, awake days. Sometimes he fainted while meditating under the tree or walking. There is also a rocky cave in the middle of Dungsiri Mountain, Uruvela, about 5 km north-west of Bodh-Gaya, commemorating the ascetic practice. There is a Tibetan Buddhist temple in front of the cave.
One day, sitting meditating by the river Nairanjana, Gotama suddenly heard the voice of a music teacher teaching a student on a passing boat: " Remember, If the strings are too soft then the deaf mute, if the string is too tight then the string must be broken . At the same time, the self-destructing body, Gotama-sa-monastery fervently meditation.
EDUCATION BEGINNING
At 29 years old (595), Prince Siddhattha left the palace, arriving at the Anoma River in Anupiya village, Malla, in consultation with Bhargava; Next to a village near the capital Vesali, Vajji (United Kingdom), learning with the first teacher Alara-Kalama, reached the rank of Zen Meditation. Then he returned to Rajagriha, the capital of Magadha, studying with the second teacher, Uddaka-Ramaputta, about the jhana-jhana meditation. Only a few days have learned his school. But not yet satisfied with that level of realization, he came to Uruvela village on the banks of the Nairanjana river ascetic in six years. He then left the ascetic practice of meditation, and 49 days later, he became enlightened under the Bodhi Tree.
1- Choose meditation
In 589 BC , GOTAMA was 35 years old, while his body was severely depressed, realizing that the asceticism only helped him to eliminate the lusts, to master the demands of the body; But with the weakened body, the mind can not attain full enlightenment. From the seat, he staggered up, moving and squeezing his limbs, his beard, his hair and his crumpled clothes fell to his feet. He went to a nearby grave near a collection of clothes, went to the river to wash, wash, and put on, go to the begging neighborhood. . .
From now on he applied meditation, not too much body, not too lung, eating just enough for health to keep the spirit is clear. He began to delineate the time of meditation, alms, sanctity, joy, rest, but still holds the "samatha samatha" meaning that the three things to eat, sleep and rest were not sufficient. . The five Kondanna brothers saw that he was discouraged from practicing and went back to the life of the benefactor, leaving him alone at the village of Isipatana, now Sarnath. , about 204 km northwest of Gaya, continues to practice asceticism. The city of Sarnath is 10 km north of Varanasi (formerly Benares).
Satma Gotama, during the six years of ascetic life, thanks to the generous help of the five Kondanna brothers on spirituality as well as material. Now alone, in the solitary scene, he has to solve complex, difficult problems, from big to small, but he is not discouraged. He often came to the banks of the Nairanjana (Ni-inter-meditation, now Phalgu River) meditating on the sand. One day, two shepherds named Nanda and Bala [21] were walking down the river. Two of you see Gotama y-san sa-body, weak body, but the face is dignified, gentle, liberated, sitting in meditation, the birth of love immediately select a cow The good thing, wash it clean-will then manually squeeze the milk, cooked, to the place of kneeling lit up. Gotama received the milk and said:
- I was born to use this dish, to be healthy vigor; The eternal offering of good food, the body of the majestic, the heart of compassion, compassion, joy, equanimity, no sickness, long life, rich and durable, full intellectual.
As he finished his vows, he felt that his body was strong and well-muscled. He thought that " Six years of austerity, left-to torn clothes, so we should change the sleeve portion-algae [22] This ".Gotama go to the Nairanjana River washing clothes, bathing just finished, the sky-offerings of cassia-offerings. Gotama saves algae shirt, wetsuit and word-go to jungle, find a cool tree to meditate.Ordinary he lay down from three to five years under a tree. When the morning star emerged, he woke up, went to the river to wash his face and find a place to meditate. At that time, he went begging in the nearby village. After the finish, he went to prayer, go down the river bath, then find a cool place meditation meditation.
2-years of enlightenment [23] (-589 years)
On the 49th day since the year the Kondanna brothers left, while he was meditating under the ancient Ajapala tree [24] (about 100 meters east of the Bodhi tree, There are two sisters of Sujata, the son of Senani Commander, carrying the bowl of rice porridge (kheer) to worship the god of trees to give thanks to the gods. has helped the sisters in their previous vows; Gotama statue bright statue is still-sitting, they thought the god appeared to receive gifts, so they put the bowl of porridge milk gold in front Gotama Gotama, bowing ceremony get home. After eating the porridge bowl of milk[25]Gotama sa see the body is incredibly healthy should not go begging, but just a brief walk and then take the Nairanjana River bath. He found himself today very bright, full of 32 good general and 80 beautiful, bright yellow skin. He was very excited, after washing the bowl, he put the bowl of gold on the water and vowed: " If today I was the fruit of Buddha, vow that this bowl floating on the water and drifting backwards. again the river ". Indeed, the bowl floated on the water and drifted back to the 80-mile river, until it encountered a strong whirlpool and sank to the bottom of the river. Simon Gotama went to the shore, came to the tree Pippala [26] (ficus religiosa, Bodhi tree) large, branches sum-sue. This place is very suitable for meditating, with shade, light and bright bark, forest trees behind the back, river running in front of large golden sand, -all Arriving in front of the tree, he thought to himself, " Under this tree, how can a sitting-room be quiet and dignified? " Suddenly Gotama called back and asked for a bunch of grass to sit on. The cheerful and respectful baby offered him six soft kusha-like feathered peacock feathers, chewy-chewy feathers. He thanked and asked:
- What's your name? How old are you?
- Sir, my name is Sotthiya Svastika (Cat-Wall). This year I was 9 years old. Which he begs the grass to do? Do you have a cow?
- No, I went to the monastery, not raising cattle. I just beg for grass to sit smoothly and straight back to sit for a long time. I just wish to enlighten the Buddha to save sentient beings from all suffering in life.
- Sir, long sitting on the heap of grass will be enlightenment into the Buddha?
- It's not like that. Sitting cross-legged, vertical back is only a means to help practice only fast approach to the United States. But want to enlighten the Buddha also have to practice the full range of compassionate Hyun Bin again. If you want to learn, when you grow up and I'm already enlightened, I will teach. Today, I am suffering because of sentient beings, vows to sit under this tree until the Supreme Master Chief Justice, if not satisfied, despite the broken bone, do not stand up. [27]
Saying, he folds the grass into the gear and the dove, [28] sitting in the lotus, his back upright toward the base of the tree, his face slightly bent to the east, on the banks of the Nairanjana.Immediate-world shock six times, vibrating-move the heavens and earth. In the air, flocks of happy birds flutter, in the branches full of holy-pitched chirps, eight sets of dragons [29] bring flowers to singing and orchestral offerings.
Bodhisattva Gotama sitting on the grass court, full of mighty power as lion-eater; Bright-minded wisdom like the tropical shrimp. He began to practice meditation (Jhana, Dhyana) in the class from low to high as follows:

9 - Out of Ownership. Contemplating the body, your mind and all things are empty, there is nothing to think of, to enter Africa-Chiang-Phi-Phi-Chiang-Land of the (N'evasanna-nasanna-yatana). An Imagination
10 - Then when the delicacies are refreshed, determined force, even resolved, he was liberated, entered the Dai-sense, felt five aggregates [30] are not, eighteen [ 31] there, down-accepted standards-soluble, is falling No, come on Holocaust-Tho-Chiang provisions (Nirodha-samapatti), evidence is Phuong Quang god-informed tourist-Coliseum, Thu-Lang-is strictly specified, fully The magnificent, magnanimous magnate, who exaggerated the enlightenment throughout the ten directions of Buddhism, made the heavens, the cheerful, the enlightened, the mysterious, the mysterious.
Now between the two eyebrows, the Bodhisattva launched a great luminous, directed to the palace of Ma-king [32] , ace the loss of light in the sky (Tha-chemical-self-in heaven). Ma-King knows the Bodhisattva is about to become Bodhi, summon all relatives, heaven, heaven, came to teach,
- There is a Sakya person who is about to become the supreme director at Gaya in the realm of Hell. We must bring our troops to the place of destruction, otherwise our power supply will collapse, our prestige and our rights will be lost again.
- Honor the Sons, son of Mara, Mercian said, please do not bring grudge against Gotama Bodhisattva, do things evil against him, think again
- Wow! You are small, never know my father's psycho-convergence, do not interfere with your father's decision.
" Father, I do not know your powerful god, but you do not know the great power of the Bodhisattva Gotama." If you do not believe, you will know when you arrive.
- Come on! Do not say it! I am the supreme god of this world. All must die under the power of the father. Sex, greed, anger, delusion are my father's sharp weapon, unavoidable. Look here.
Said King Mara Ba-Tuan immediately dispatched four heavenly soldiers, the general, determined to destroy the monkhood into the direction. Thousands of generals, buffalo heads, cavalry faces, screams, screams, thunderstorms, thunderstorms, floods and missile rains. But Bodhisattva Gotama still sat still, no object touched Bodhisattva. He said:
- Ma Ma-Week, in a previous life you used to own a temple, receiving eight worlds, each day offering a bowl of rice for a Buddha-Chi. The virtue should be born in the heaven of Tha-Hoa-Tu-Do Great Mara. And we have been worshiping countless Buddhas in countless lives, merit can not think, then you do not hurt me. Well, you go, if still good-try, lost all blessings, will fall into the three evil paths [33] .
- Gotama, do not boast, it is because of the great merit that I was the Lord of this realm.Everyone in the world knows. And you are just a small Taoist, sitting alone under the tree, what merit?Who witnesses you?
- Ma Ma-Week, this land is the impartial mother of all living beings will testify to me.
Got Got Got Got Got Got Got To Point To The Ground . The earthquake suddenly shook in six ways, the great bellows in the shrines around the banks resounded, a large area before the Bodhisattva cracked, the Great Goddess Sthavara rose half off the ground full of dishes precious jewels on her, reverently bowed to the Bodhisattva and said:
- Great bodhisattva, I would like to witness the immeasurable merit of the Bodhisattva in the past.
Having said so, the Marquis rolled his eyes to Mara, then pulled himself to the ground; the ground is the same. Maj-Gen Minister's flight away scattered. Ma-troubled panic ashamed to withdraw troops back home. At that time, the son of Mara, Merchant, appeared before Gotama Gotama, bowed to the ground and repented that:
- Prostrate Bodhisattva! Please compassionate, rejoicing to my repentance, pardon the father of the human fool who has fallen prey to bodhisattva disorder. We pray to Bodhisattva to become the superhuman sati.
But Ma Wang did not give up, decided to use the last poison. Upon arriving at the heavenly palace, he called three daughters to say :
- Dress up and dress up beautifully, down to the realm of Hell-match, meet the Sakya sectari who are sitting under the tree pippala near the city of Gaya, the talent of singing, teasing, erotic love, causing him to lose all the god-pine, can not become the most harmful harm to us.
The three girls named Tanha, Arati and Raga follow the father, turning out three gorgeous fairies, brimming with beauty and beauty. Gotama Gotama is sitting, pretending to bring flowers and offerings, then dance, when trying to evoke talk, tease, confession, charm. But Bodhisattva still sit still calm, mind stable like mountain Tu-di. Her father saw this, surprised, in front of the Bodhisattva whether he was alive or dead. Bodhisattva said:
- You have planted a good fortune for many generations, now being celestial women, blessed in heaven, why not remember this body is impermanent, there is a day of decay, there is a disrespectful attitude towards us? The body is beautiful, but the unrighteous mind is different than the bag of dirty skin , here to do, go, I do not use.
Said he put his hand on the face, naturally three fairy deformed into three old woman wrinkled skin, gray hair, back cuffs, staggered stiff stiffness. Her father panicked and ran away to the celestial arch with the Ma-King Ba-Week.
The Brahma, the Sakka Indra, the countless gods who are full of nothing, see the Bodhisattva Gotama -Ma-Wang, everyone is happy, co-complained:
- Very good! Very good! Never happend! Never happend! Bodhisattva Gotama now attained the highest level of awareness!
The gods rejoice, flower, sprinkle, donate music.
After the completion of Ma-Vajra, Bodhisattva Gotama continued to enter the life-giving-consciousness and began the resounding victory in the most enduring and delicate revelation of the three stages. -type:
1 - The destruction of the brain-mind disturbance (Kammavasa) is still hidden in the heart for karma for samsara. By soup one night that he was victorious battle the enemy and they Tuc-Network-Ming (pubbe-nivasanussati-nana) : He knows all the past lives he, in time-university public, what's your name, born in Sale what kind of people, what kind of life, how to live and how to be happy, how to die, how to die, how to be reborn in a scene, and so on.
2- Destroy the infinite deity (Avidyasava).

He found the Four Noble Truths (Suffering, Practice, Destruction, Dao).
The Buddha read the first verse [35] after the enlightenment as follows:
Lang-thang bao rotation-rotation,
Finding never found the builder [36] .
But birth trouble brain that!
Hey master, I see you [37] .
Do not build, do not expect,

The first 3 weeks after the enlightenment
The Buddha sits indoors under the Bodhi Tree to experience the Happiness (Vimutti-sukha).Weekend night he appeared in meditation and contemplation of the Twelve Causes and Conditions[40] (Paticca-samuppada). Human and moral are the root cause and the causes of life arise. For example: The reason mango tree grows is because there is a root cause of mango, and the causes of soil, water, light, air, climate ... appropriate. for the development of mango fruit into mango tree. The twelve causal factors are the 12 factors that cause each other and cause each other to arise the phenomenon of birth and death of beings.. To end the line of birth and death, one must exclude one of the twelve factors, and must know what is most easily available to him. The easiest factors are Ai, Player and Ignorance. End of Ai-education is to stop the 6 coast in six ceiling. Discard the Player is the practice of daddy. Ignorance of ignorance is to learn religion and meditation to know the body and mind are impermanent, not self; To know Chon-mind, his-new nature is often, lost, net.
Into the watch that night, the Buddha began to deduce in the way arise (anuloma) as follows: When this is the other then, when this happens, the other arise.
Due to Ignorance [41] (Ignorance) arises, should Administration (samkhāra) arises.
By Action [42] arises, should viññāṇa () arises.
With consciousness [43] arises, the Name (Nama) and Rupa (Rupa) arise.
By the Name and Sacred [44] arise, the Six Senses (Salayatana) arise.
Because of Six Senses [45] arise, Phassa arises.
By emptiness [46] arises, the feeling (Vedana) arises.
By feeling [47] arise, Tana (Tanha) arises.
By Ai [48] arises, should Prime (upadana) arises.
By Prime [49] arises, should Becoming (Bhava) arises.
For Being [50] arises, birth (Jati) arises.
Birth by birth [51] , Disease, Aging and Death (Jara-marana),
Brain-brain, Pain-arises.
The whole mass of pain and suffering in the present life has arisen like that.
Then the Buddha said the following verse [52] :
When the real-world displays,
Zen-meditation, right at the top.
People do not go well-ranh,
The causal relations arise. (Excerpted in Vinaya-pitaka)
Around that three nights, the Buddha in the way of patiloma - as follows: When this is no longer the other is no longer, when this kill, the other also kill.
At the end of ignorance, the action ends.
At the end of Onions, Consciousness ends.
At the end of Consciousness, Name and Sacred End.
At the end of the Name and Sacrifice, the Six Sems are over.
At the end of the Sixth, the Ending.
Feeling is over.
At the end of feeling, Ai ends.
At the end of Ai , the Player ceases.
At the end of the Player ends.
At the end of the Sanh ends.
At the end of Birth, Disease, Aging, Death, Afflictions, Pain ends.
The whole mass of pain and suffering in the present life can be terminated like that.
Then the Buddha said the following verse:
When the real-world displays,
Zen-meditation, right at the top.
Human death, fruit must-tan,
The coast is not favorable, what fruit? (Excerpted in Vinaya-pitaka)
On the next morning, the Buddha thought in the following two dimensions of birth and nirvana as follows: When this one has the other, when this one arises, the other arise. When this did not have the other one does not, when it ceased, the other one also kills [53] .
When ignorance arises, action arises, and so on. And so the whole block of sorrow-rebirth arises.
When Ignorance is eliminated, Action also kills, and so on. And so the whole mass of suffering-suffering must end.
Then He said the following verse:
When the real-world displays,
Zen-meditation, right at the top.
Ma-Wushong,
Truth-shining, beings peace . (Excerpted in Vinaya-pitaka)
4 - Second week after enlightenment
The Buddha spent the second week in a calm manner, standing about 100 meters east of the Bodhi Tree, watching the Bodhi Tree a whole week without blinking, recollecting the battlefield. selfish, self-centered, for countless lives, to this day enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, to draw experience to find a shorter and easier Path for them birth later. At present there is a monument built by King Asoka, named Animesalocana Cetiya.
In keeping with the noble example, and to commemorate the Buddha, believers to this day still respect the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, Sarnath, Lumbini, Jetavana, Anuradhapura (Sri-Lanka), Chau -digital (Vietnamese).
The Bodhi Tree at Jetavana (Ancestral Garden) was planted by Ananda's opinion, approved by the Buddha, and Grade-he made by pouring the seeds of a ripe fruit of Dai-Bo - Planting near the entrance to the infirmary, at the Buddha's residence here, so that the followers from far away to visit the Buddha, the risk encountered at the Buddha's absence, can worship this Bodhi tree as well as Buddhist worship.
The current Bodhi tree in Lumbini has existed since Buddha was in the world.
In the third century BC, nun Sanghamitta, the son of Asoka, extracted a southern branch of the Mahabodhi tree from Sri Lanka and planted it in the capital Anuradhapura. also lush sum-sue.
The Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya and in Sarnath, India, are now also the offspring of the Bodhi Tree at Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka.
A son of the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya was donated to the Vietnamese in 1952 by Dai-Jina Rajadasa, head of the International Society for the Theology of Anthropology in India. Chau Doc, southwestern Vietnam. The Bodhi-Dao-Trang members often recite here every evening. In addition, large pagodas in Vietnam such as the Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi, the Tu Duc Pagoda in Hue, the Xa-Gon pagoda in Saigon all have a very serious Bodhi tree.
1- Maha-Bodhi (when the Buddha) was born:
2- Ananda Bodhi Tree at Jetevana where the Buddha resides here
3 - Bodhi tree at Anuradhapura (Sri Lanka) born:
4 - Bodhi tree at Sarnath
5 - Ananda Bodhi Tree in Jetavana today
6 - The Bodhgaya Bodhi Tree is born today:
7 - Bodhi Tree in Africa (Vietnam).
5- The third week after enlightenment
Because the Buddha is still around-bending on the Bodhi tree, the gods at that time doubted whether he had attained Buddhahood. The Buddha read this thought, he used the power of god-pine to create a "precious business" (Ratana Cankamana, jade business), and go back and forth on this business. during the third week. Under the footsteps of the Buddha there is a lotus hatched to support the foot to touch the ground. This road is now built of brick up the ground one meter high, parallel to the north side of the tower. On the pavement there are 18 castings of cement, symbolizing the 18 steps of the Buddha.
According to Mahayana Buddhism, in the first three weeks (21 days) after becoming Buddha, he embodied Vairocana Buddha (Avatamsaka sutra) for the Venerable Sutra [54] the great Bodhisattva, the gods and gods who have been teaching with the Buddha-Pi-Lo-Na-from countless hours.Originally the business name is "Dai Phuong Quang Hoa Hoa Nghiem Kinh". The contents of this business stand on the scene of the non-free-liberation of the Buddha to describe the whole legal world, also known as lawless world. The Buddha intended to say these Mahayana sutras to those who had many good qualities in advance, so that they would re-impart to the lower ones, to all beings of the world.
6- The fourth week after the enlightenment
Buddha seated in "providing security" [55] (Ratana-ghara, the jade room) for failure-concept of the complex-complex point of Abhidhamma (Abhidhamma doctrines are high-ultra, micro Dhamma).The book notes that when he reflected on the causal relationship (Patthana), the seventh narrative of the Logic, his mind and body became perfectly pure and thus emit a trench oyster. -The six colors, now the six colors of the World-Buddhist flag. The top five colors are green, yellow, red, white, orange. The sixth color is the sum of the five primary colors. Bao Cung is now at the north side of the Great Tower.
7- The fifth week after the enlightenment
The Buddha returned to sit under the tree of Ajapala, where he received the bowl of milk porridge from Sujata's sisters, to continue the experience of happiness and liberation (Vimutti-sukha).While the Buddha sitting meditation, the following thought arises:
- It is sad to live without anyone to worship and pay homage. Or do we live near a monk or a brahmin to worship and worship?
Perhaps we should live close to another monk or a brahmin to honor and worship him to raise the silakkhanda to the perfect? But we do not find any more virtuous than ourselves to cooperate, honor, worship, including the gods, mahogany or Brahma in the heavens, as well as the Buddhist or Brahman- subjects in the human realm.
Perhaps we should live close to another teacher or Brahmin to pay homage and cultivate the samadhikkhanda to perfect? But we do not see in this world any more brahman or Brahman than in order to cooperate, honor and worship.
Perhaps we should live close to another monk or a Brahmin to honor and cultivate the wisdom (pannakkhanda) to perfect? But we do not see in this world any more brahman or Brahman who is more intellectual than us to cooperate, honor and worship.
Perhaps we should live close to another teacher or Brahmin to pay homage and worship to raise the level of liberation (vimuttikkhanda) to perfection? But we do not see in this world that a Taoist or brahman has more liberty than us to cooperate, honor and worship.
Or should we live in reverence and cultivate the very Dharma that we have attained enlightenment?
At that time, Sahibati, who understood the Buddha 's mind, immediately from the Brahma realm, appeared before the Buddha, as fast as a man stretching his arm or bending his hand. And, embracing him on the left shoulder, kneeling right to the ground, hand Buddhist ceremony and said:
- White World-religious faith, indeed so, the application-level hardware, Enlightenment, in the past, all religious-cult-worship-glass and the Teacher-French. Enlightenment, the Chief Justice, in the future will also respect and cultivate this Fa-rectification. Therefore, Deity White, he is the degree of Appreciation, Chief Justice, in the present life, should also respect and worship this very Dhamma.
All of the past, present and future pastors of the past, future and future, will, and will, be rescued, help the sentient beings, honor the high Dhamma. That is the common characteristic of the Buddhas.
So, anyone who wants to be of benefit and effort, of course, should also honor this high-Dhamma, and always remember the golden words of the Buddhas.
Sahibati clarified, revered the Buddha, circumambulate a circle around him and disappear.
Because the monks also have the characteristics and the direction of the high-up so the Buddha was honored [56] .
At the end of the fifth week, when he was leaving, a Brahmin came near, greeted him well and asked:
- Gotama, in what way I become a Brahman, and what conditions make me become a saint ?
The Buddha responds with the following verse:
Saints are no longer evil,
There is no self-fall, no longer dirty.
Six basic bar-like sheets,
Department of education, living high life.
Wherever you go,
Awkwardness, self-righteous, fearless. (Udana Sutra, Self-Theory)
8- The sixth week after the enlightenment [57]
Buddha left the tree to tree Ajapala Mucalinda [58] , and meditated here one week more to the well-being experience award-exit. Suddenly a heavy rain fell. Cloudy to black and cold wind blows for days. At that time, the Mucalinda Snake came out of the cave, wrapped himself in seven circles around the Buddha, and spread the cover over his head. As a result, heavy rains did not touch his body. By the end of the seventh day, the sky cleared, Mucalinda took himself back, then turned into a young man standing in front of the Buddha. The Buddha read the verse of praise and admonition Mucalinda as follows:
Hanh-happy life hidden life,
How many are also warm enough.
Hanh-luck lives in meditation,
To see, listen to the color-Chon.
Happiness people good heart,
Single life, benefit beings.
Happiness is not free,
Beyond the six senses.
But happiness is higher than all,
It is far from falling, accept me. [59]
9- Seventh Week After Enlightenment
The Buddha from the Tree of Mucalinda stepped onto the tree of Rajayatana and there lived the happiness of liberation.
On the seventh weekend, he went from the Rajayatana tree back to the Ajapala tree. While meditating, the following thoughts arise:
- The teachings that As-Lai has realized are truly profound, difficult to recognize, difficult to accept, silent, high, not in the field of micro-logic, very delicate, The sage understood. Beings also in the lust of love-pleasurable material "The Twelve Causality" (or Causality). And Nirvāna is the state of endless conditions that arise, desires, no craving, no attachment, nor an easy subject. If As-Lai teaches the teachings, then others will not understand. It's nostalgic! Useless cost!
As-Lai has difficulty-difficult to realize the Dhamma. No need for popularity right now. He also carries heavy craving and anger is not easy to grasp. The craving sunk in the dark, can not see the Dhamma, because the craving is covered like a black cloud drama. The teachings go against the flow of life, profound, profound, incomprehensible and delicate.
As such, the Buddha has not decided to propagate the Dhamma. On that occasion, Mara immediately appeared, circumambulating the three round Buddha, then came before the Buddha kneeling down the hall and said:
- Buddha, all beings in this world is very foolish and brazen, how many Buddha was born here are not the be before them. Please do not waste your time in vain. Please enter the Great Bishops-nirvana immortal now to enjoy the happiness of liberation.
- Ma Ma-Week, Tathagata because of the Great Rescue suffering beings should appear in this world. Tathagata only joined the Great Bowl of Nibbana after the establishment of the Baptist Church with all three of the Three Jewels and has fully conveyed the Sutra to the monks in order to follow the teachings of the monks. beings Blow! Go away, do not bother me in vain.
Ma-Wang angry out, holding a stick sticks a long line on the ground as the demarcated line between himself and the Buddha, then retreated.
Sahibati rushed to the Buddha, circumambulating three rounds around the Buddha, and kneeled down the Buddha as follows:
- Deity, please pray to teach the Buddha's teachings! There are beings with little sand dust trapped in the eye, if not hear the Buddha's Dharma will be sabotaged sa-dynasty. But they can also learn the truth.
In ancient times in Magadha there was an incomprehensible Dhamma, developed by the naked man. Now, please congratulations to the Noble Eightfold Noble Prize, for beings to hear the liberation teachings of the Absolute. The All-Enlightened One, Standing on the top of the castle of France, as well as the man standing on the high rock overlooking down, clearly see each other around the bottom.Please Perfect Be Happy look at beings are immersed in the sea of birth and death!
Please fix up, the hero, the victor, the leader, the savior, please spread the Dhamma throughout the world. Surely, there will be many rulers.
- Sahampati, As-Lai thought that the craving and hatred is not easy to understand the teachings of As-Lai. The covetous being sunk in the darkness, can not see the truth. Because truth-in-opposition to craving should become profound, profound, difficult to perceive, and very subtle. Therefore, As-Lai has not decided to propagate the Dhamma.
The Buddha Sahibati invited the Buddha a second time, the Buddha also answered as before.When Brahma requested the third time, the Buddha used the Buddha-stick to the world. He realizes that there are few people who are very dusty in the eyes, intelligent bright people, dark blind people, good person, bad person, unborn beings, also beings easy to teach, and a few others are aware of the dangers of sin and life. Just like in a lotus pond, there is a blue, red, white, yellow, and blue lotus.There is a tree under water, grows under water, and lives for life throughout the water; having a tree under water, growing up in water, and living on water; there is a tree under water, growing up in the water, and growing up out of the water, without a trace of mud. After the consummation of the three classes of beings, lower, middle and upper,
- Hey Sahampati, deathless door wide open to anyone with ears want to hear puts faith [60]. Sahamati, because of the fact that beings are too low so before, As-Lai has not decided to teach the teachings of supreme.
Sahibati was very happy to ask the Buddha to propagate the Dharma, immediately thanked him, circumambulate around him, then retreated. [61]
10- Two first faithful
After 49 days of meditation, not eating, since eating Sujata's milk porridge, today, while the Buddha sat under the tree of Rajayatana, two Burmese businessmen named Tapussa and Bhallika from Ukkala (now Orissa) to, passing by nearby. There is a god, who was a former life with two merchants, to tell him,
- Both of you, Lord Honor Supreme has achieved the Supreme Chief Justice, is sitting under the tree Rajayatana over there. You should go there to make roasted powder and honey [62] , will be happy and happy long.
Two traders are happy, fix the roasted powder and honey before the Buddha bow respectfully, praying the Buddha received two modest offerings for the two of you to be happily happy long-term happiness. The Buddha, no begging begging bowl again [63] , think:
- As-Lais never give life to the real thing. How do I get these two roasted meats and honey ?
At that time, the four gods [64] guessed the Buddha's thought, immediately from four directions to offer the Buddha four gold bowl; The Buddha did not recognize. Four four bowls of silver; The Buddha did not recognize. Four of them offered four jade bowls; The Buddha did not recognize. The four of them remembered the previous Buddhas who often used stone bowls and offered four stone bowls and said,
- Oh, God, please accept the roast and honey in this cup of stone.
In order for the four divinities to be satisfied, the Buddha placed the first cup on the palm of his left hand, the right hand holding the second cup to overlap the first cup and then press down as two rejoining ones, then bowl Tuesday and Wednesday also be entered like .. Finally four cups stone imported into one but are still traces of the four mouth cup [65] . The Buddha took the cup to receive the real thing. After the completion of the life, he told the two traders Tapussa and Bhallika as follows:
- These two men, if you want to be long-term warning should be Buddha's teachings, Dharma protection and life expectancy of the five precepts.
Two businessmen kneeled down to pay homage to him and said:
- Let us allow you to recite the Buddha and to recite the Dharma, to preserve the Five Precepts, and to request us to place you in your upasaka from now until All our lives.
This is the first two faithful-faiths have been mentioned Nhi Bao (Buddha and France, no increase). After having been given the Buddha's meditation and transmitting the five precepts (no killing, no theft, no sexual misconduct, no drinking, no telling), and before leaving him to return to his native Burma, Electricity, two merchants request him little souvenir to always remember him. The Buddha gave them a couple of hair and nails and said,
- Every day you see these things as well as see the As-Lai .
The two reverence received, weaving and then brought back Burma built the tower. At present, this treasure is still well-preserved in the stupa of Swedagon Pagoda in the capital Rangoon.
