1- Friday in Jetavana (-584 ) 

According to the book  The Buddha and his Teachings  of the Buddha retreat Narada 6th at Mankula hill, near the capital Kosambi [1]  of origin Vatsa. In this, Lord Buddha uses the power of Yamaka Patihariya to rise into the air, turning out many bodies, each body sitting on the lotus flower, with fire and water at the same time from the eczema, to overcome the pagan. This is the second time.The first time the Buddha used this spirit in Kapilavastu to eliminate the pride of the Sakya princes.

According to   Ananda K. Coomaraswamy's Buddha and the Gospel of Buddhism , the Buddha entered the sixth place in Jetavana in the capital, Sravasti.

Buddha Khema in Rajagriha [2] 

The Buddha from Vesali to Rajagriha (Rajasthan), Mrs. Khema, second son of King Bimbisara.Ms. Khema is very beautiful, very smart, but very conceited about her beauty. Because of the Buddha's teaching, people should not cherish beauty so she never came to hear the sermon. One day, King Bimbisara attempted to take her to hear the Buddha sermon at the Venuvana monastery. While in the sermon, Lord Buddha used her magical powers to show her a beautiful goddess standing by to fan the Buddha. Mrs. Khema was so mesmerized by the beauty of the goddess that she did not pay any attention to the Buddha's words. She felt that the goddess was more beautiful than she was. But for a moment, she again saw the goddess slowly deformed from the fresh beauty of youth to the beauty of middle age, then back to the old ugly, then fell to death, rã Mrs. Khema was startled with panic and knelt down and asked the Buddha about this strange phenomenon. The Buddha said:

-  Hey Khema, you should not think that her beauty is true, forever. You should not think that what you just saw is an illusion. On the contrary, her beauty is only a mirage deformed hour by minute, now gone; While being old and dying is the only thing that is certain, no one can escape.

Then the Buddha told her about impermanence, selflessness and the Four Noble Truths. After listening to her, she immediately attained the results of Tu-momentum, to be released. Shortly after, she attains the arhat and becomes a great bhikkhuni in the Church.

Pindola Bharadvaja performs miracles [3]  

While the Buddha was still in Rajagriha, a wealthy businessman employed a skilled worker to make a beautiful bowl of his reddish redwood. He hung the bowl on a high bamboo pole on the roof, then declared,

-  If there is a person in this world is Arahant, please fly up to take this bowl and use

He did so because he did not believe anyone was truly Arahant, and he also expected to meet a true arahant to meditate on, as a teacher. The outside teachers see that:

-  Do not do that. Bring the bowl down here for me.

-  Please fly up there and take it down.

On the sixth day, exile Nathaputta told the disciples:

"  Tell the eldest son, that  bowl should be the object that should be given to our teacher. We should not have our teacher fly up there to get something so unworthy. Give that bowl to us.

-  Whoever flew there, the bowl belongs to him.

Nathaputta told the disciples:

-  I will put hands and feet as if to fly, but you have to run to hug me pressed to the ground, and said, Thus says the  Master doing? It is not advisable to reveal the divine power of the arahant to many people for just such a wooden bowl.

Then Nathaputta came to the chief and said:

-  Hey school fake, give that bowl to me. Do not tell me to fly up to get something unworthy.

-  Please fly up there and get it.

-  Okay, you disciples, come out and see me fly up to get this bowl!

After saying this, Nathaputta reached up into the sky as if to fly. The disciples rushed to hug him, crushed to the ground, shouting:

-  Teacher, teacher, doing? It is not advisable to reveal the divine power of the arahant to many people for just such a wooden bowl.

Mr. Nathaputta stood up and said to him,

-  Master, my disciples do not let me fly. So get the bowl down and give it to me.

-  Please fly up there and get it.

On the seventh day, the head stood looking at the bowl, telling the people around him:

-  To this day I know for sure that no one in this world is Arahant.

Meanwhile, Moggallana and Pindola Bharadvaja are begging through it, hearing it. Moggallana said:

-  Pindola, brother, fly up to get that down, let them see that in the disciples also many Buddhist arahant.

-  Brother is the most magical among the disciples of the Buddha. So brother fly up to get that bowl. I will fly support.

-  No need. Brother fly up alone. Fly up!

Pindola entered the divine abode, took her into the air, flew seven rounds around Rajagriha for all to see, and flew to the roof of the chief, taking a red wooden bowl hanging on the bamboo heights. land on the front yard. Then the chief fell to his knees, then asked the servants to bring precious food in the bowl of the great Pindola and Moggallana. Two virtues silent, calm, go back to Jetavana monastery. People applauded warmly.

That afternoon the Buddha called the great Pindola rebuked:

"  Bharadvaja, your divine prostration does not make the pagans understand Dhamma, nor is it beneficial for the cultivator to attain liberation. From now on, apart from divine precepts, teachers are not allowed to perform such miraculous deeds in public, nor can they use wooden bowls.

The Buddha said to break the wooden bowl of red fried wood used for incense.

The foreigners heard this news, propaganda with the people:

-  A disciple of Gotama soar bowl is made wrongly rebuked the teacher should be a must. That's why we refused to do it. We only perform miracles in case Gotama dare stand out against us. But he probably did not dare.

King Bimbisara heard this, asked the Buddha:

-  Lord, do you forbid practitioners from performing miracles?

-  Great King, yes.

-  So how do you think when the foreign leaders challenge the Sun gods with them?

-  If they want to compare magic, I will not refuse.

-  So the Blessed One does not respect the world that the Buddha had set up for the disciples?

-  Great King, I would like to ask the King: The king has a mango garden. The king ordered the people not to eat there. So did the king have eaten mangoes?

-  I was allowed to eat mango in my garden, but other people were not allowed to eat.

-  Also, Sire, I was right to perform psychic but practitioners do not get to do this.

-  So the Sun as long as will perform miracle and where?

-  Sire psychic I will be performing on the full moon Asalhi month, which was four months away, near Sravasti, where mango trees Ganda.

The Buddha performed the great deity at Sravasti. [4]  

Then the Buddha arrived Sravasti entered the 6th Friday in Jetavana.

Recall when the pagan Patriarch of Rajagriha lost their map and the support of King Bimbisara.They pulled together to the capital Sravasti, hoping to find the fervent support of King Pasenadi and the people of Kosala. But this year he came to Sravasti to enter the Jetavana monastery. The pagan exile in the court of King Pasenadi, the rebuttal of the Buddha's teachings and the Buddha's challenge to challenge the Buddha. They thought that the Buddha had forbidden disciples to perform miracles in public, he would not have been emulated. On the other hand, they let go of spit out the big mango trees around the capital Sravasti thrown into the forest. They thought that the Buddha had said he would perform miracles under the mango tree of Ganda, he could not perform miracles where mangoes were absent.

On the full moon day of Asalhi, Ganda, the gardener of King Pasenadi, collected a large mango that was ripe and delicious. He intended to bring the mango to the king. But he thought: If you give this mango to the king, it can only be rewarded by the king from 8 to 16 mandarins just to live a few months is the same, only equal to bring offerings to the Buddha can be immeasurable blessings in this life. and the next life. Mr. Ganda picked up the mango and headed for Jetavana. But halfway there is Buddha. He went to pay homage to the Buddha mango. The Buddha brought out the bowl and then handed over to the great virtue Ananda. Ananda peeled and then mango juice to bowl for Buddha use.The Buddha told Mr. Ganda:

"  Hey Ganda, you dig and plant this mango seed right here.

When Mr. Ganda planted the mango seeds just finished, the Buddha washed his hands on the mango plant. Immediately a mango tree was planted, the trunk was short of calves, divided into five branches, a vertical branch in the middle and four branches on four sides, and blooming fruit full of fruit, fruit ripe extremely delicious. King Pasenadi was informed of the soldiers to guard the mango tree, and named the mango tree Ganda mango. The Buddha told everyone that the next day he would show miracles here.

Believing this news, that evening the exiled priests announced that they would be able to retreat from the Sravasti. Unfortunately, Purana Kassapa met with one of his loyal followers:

"  Dear teacher, I'm going somewhere, I look forward to tomorrow to see the master of magic with Gotama sausage at Ganda mango.

-  I have a job to take. Sorry I can not attend the contest.

-  iron! You have declared that you will compete with Gotama Satan, but now you are trying to avoid?

-  I have something to take. You want to see miraculous performances then go to see it.

Having said this, the exiled Purana Kassapa shamelessly departs, then jumps into the river to commit suicide.

The following afternoon, Lord Buddha made a jade (five-color ring bridge) in the air, from east to west. People see strangers rushed to the view countless east. When the Buddha had just stepped out, there was a devotee named Gharani, a good man named Culla Anathapindika, a seven-year-old novice named Cira, a novice Cunda, a nun Uppalavanna, and a Moggallana. Would like to perform miracles instead of Buddha, but the Buddha refused. The Buddha said:

-  Moggallana, this you, this is not your business. This is the heavy responsibility of the Tathagata, the Tathagata to complete. No one can take this heavy responsibility to replace the Tathagata.

After saying this, Lord Buddha stepped up the ring, went to the lecture hall, all over his body, and his talents just spit out the fire just spewing out the water, exhaling six colors of light to heaven Brahma. At the same time, a Buddha incarnate appears on the ring, or goes, or stands, or lies, or sits, when asked, then responds, together with the Buddha, both presenting divine powers and preaching the Dharma to the public. . Listening to a large number of people to achieve results-Update-save.

The Sravasti people witnessed an inconceivable scene. There is now a Gandhabba Rukkamula tower, near Jetavana, celebrating the place.

After practicing Yamaka Patihariya in Sravasti, the Buddha traveled alone to the village of Samkassa, upstream of the Ganga River.

2- Saturday in Samkassa Village (-583 ) 

In 583 BC, Buddha was 41 years old. In the retreat, he spent three months hiding in the mountains near the village of Samkassa (Sankissa), in the upper Ganga.

The Buddha sermon in the sky of Dao-Loi [5] 

During his stay in the Samkassa mountains, the Buddha brought to the Tavatimsa the Abhidhamma for the gods and Maha Maya. The masters do not know where the Buddha is now, come ask Moggallana. Moggallana, however, knows to ask Anuruddha. Anuruddha said:

-  The Buddha is sitting on the throne under the Coral Tree in the sky of Dao-Loi, the theory of Magic-Dharma to the world and his mother Maha Maya heard.

-  When will you come back to us?

-  After fullness.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the Buddha sitting on the throne under the tree of the coral, on the right are holy Maha Maya and Yakkha Indaka, on the left are Ankura, surrounded by dozens of natural objects from ten approach to listening to France. Indaka and Ankura have been reborn in heaven long ago. The Buddha began to show how to make a lot of blessings. The Buddha said:

-  Ankura, Indaka just offered a scoop of food for the virtue of Anuruddha, who was reborn in heaven, while he gave alms to countless food for ten thousand years and recently offered a lot. For the newly born Sikhs to be reborn in heaven. Why so?

For example, farmers have to choose good soil to harvest new crops. And he, for not knowing how to choose people to make offerings, his offering is not much benefit.

Then the Buddha said shelf:

Farmer sowed seeds

Should choose fertile land.

Good faith offerings

Should choose the gentleman.

Grassy land,

Attacks people harm.

Offering saintly,

Will be good fruit. (Dhammapada, verses 356, 357, 358, 359)

Then the Buddha preached the Abhidhamma and said the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Duty to the Blessed Virgin and the holy Maha Maya for three consecutive months. When the Buddha tired or get real life, there is a Buddhist body substituting the sermon. After listening to the Dharma, the holy Maya attained Sotapanna. Everyday, Venerable Sariputta ascended to Heaven and heard the sermon, then returned to Earth to summarize the sermon given to Maha Kassapa and the audience. Later, during the first period of scripture, Maha Kassapa himself recited the Magical Dharma making the seven-volume Logic, still handed down to this day.

After three months, when the Buddha from the sky of Tavatimsa returned to the village of Samkassa, the king of heaven Brahma on the right, the king Sakka Indra on the left, to bring him down with Three gold, silver and vaulted treasure staircases, from the summit of the Tu-di (Sineru) mountain to the village gate of Samkassa. There are countless gods sprinkled flowers music offerings. At the entrance to the Samkassa village there is the Venerable Moggallana, the Uppalavanna nun are the two most powerful disciples of the first, the great Sariputta and many other monks came after the Buddha.

Uppalavanna joyfully walked to the Buddha and said:

-  Buddha, his disciples are Uppalavanna, who first came to welcome Bhagavan, please Bhagavan prove.

The Buddha said with a smile:

-  Uppalavanna, the receptionist Tathagata first is not a nun.

Uppalavanna asked curiously:

-  Lord, who is it?

The Buddha looked at the disciples, calmly said:

-  Thank you mendicants have come here to welcome As-Lai, but the first meeting with Sub-Hui is Subhuti. Subhuti is currently observing the emptiness of the dharmas and practicing the citta in the cave at Griddhakuta, so he is the first to see the Buddha.

In the third century BC, King Asoka erected a stone pillar to commemorate the Buddha who displayed the divine magical power at the gate of Samkassa village (Sankissa, Samkasya). On the head of the stone is an elephant statue.

Buddha statue first 

Because of the absence of the Buddha so long, King Udayana (Udena, Uu-Dien) in Kosambi capital [6]  ( Vitea , Vatsa), suffering sorrow. The high-ranking mandarins hire good sculptors to use the lambs in the mountain of Niu-head carved a Buddha-like statue, five meters high, to the king. The king was gone. It is the statue of Buddha-Ca Mau-ni first in history [7] . The Buddha saw this statue and praised the statue of merit. Legend of Buddha after mold has been transferred to the Central-States in the Three Kingdoms period, and then also transmitted to the Japanese-version [8] .

How to become Sakka, King of Heaven? [9] 

Mahali, 10 , a Lichavi king in the capital of Vesali, one day, hears the Buddha, praising the glory of the King of Darkness Sa Sakka, asked:

-  Buddha, he knew or had never met the King of heaven Dao-profit is Sakka not?

-  Mahali, of course Tathagata meet and know about Sakka.

- By  virtue of virtue and good deeds that Sakka is king of heaven Dao-Loi?

-  Mahali, before reborn as king of Dao-Loi, Sakka is the Magha prince of Magadha, nicknamed Maghava. Prince Magha often practiced pure danam adasi and was nicknamed Purindada. Magha also frequently gives sakkaccham to the monks who are nicknamed Sakka. Magha also offered a place to live (avasatham), nicknamed Vasava. Magha is very intelligent and can think of a thousand things (sahassam attham) at the same time should be nicknamed Sahassakkha. Sakka has his wife Asura (Sujata), nicknamed Sujampati. Sakka leads the gods of the Tavatimsa to the so-called Indra or Thich Nhu Nhon. Prince Magha thanks to complete his seven vows so after the reincarnation is reborn as Sakka, king of heaven Tavatimsa. The seven vows are :

3- Lower Bhesakala Forest (-582)

Foreign minions use Cinca falsely accuses Buddha [11] 

The Buddha from Samkassa to Sravasti, located in Jetavana. The pagan expatriates who migrated from Rajagriha to Sravasti lost their face in the Buddha's miraculous demonstration in the Ganda mango, angered by the loss of followers, loss of interest, and the attempt to defame the Buddha by Launching false rumors of the Buddha and the Sadducees. Some mendicants bring bad comments to the Buddha to ask him to take measures. The Buddha comforted: "Do not be troubled by these rumors, and these rumors will be silent forever."

The heathen meeting with Ajita-Kesakambala instructs a devotee named Cinca Manavika, who is a very beautiful girl of her beauty, sent her to visit the monastery. Jetavana for everyone familiar, and occasionally retreat to absent. In the afternoon, when people from the Jetavana monastery return to Sravasti, Cinca goes back from Sravasti to Jetavana. Someone asked her to Jetavana at this time for what? She replied: My own, she asked what to do! Then once she used straw filled up pregnant as pregnant.

One day, Cinca used a wooden dumbbell in the abdomen, strapped in a large shirt outside, to the Jetavana monastery at Buddha's lecture hall in the lecture hall. She came to stand in front of the Buddha, only her belly and said loudly:

-  Gotama, you do not use moral words to deceive the galaxy anymore. I personally believed in his bile to the stomach belly like this. So far I'm about to give birth, but he has not cared for me and his baby in my stomach. He just enjoy the pleasure and leave my mother like this for the world laugh! I am so miserable!

Speaking of this, Cinca pretends to cry aloud. The Buddha listened calmly, then said,

-  Cinca, what you just said has no real proof. Only you and I know the truth.

Heavenly King Sakka suddenly felt his seat heated, using celestial vision to see Cinca Manavika are falsely accusing the Buddha, together with four heavenly maiden instant arrival to rescue. Four celestial maidens turned into four small mice, biting off the rope making the wooden goblet in Cinca's belly fall to the ground. Many people shouting:

-  This demon dare come here slander the Blessed One!

Many people rushed and beat Cinca out of the lecture hall, intent on bringing it to the authorities.But just out of the gates, the land beneath her Cinca cracked in two, fire burned her body, she fell into Hell Egypt, and the land was the same again. Since then, the rumors of bad talk to the Buddha.

Nakula calls the Buddha [12] 

Then the Buddha entered the 8th at the Anjanavana Jubilee, next to the Bhesakala Forest and the Sumsumara Stone, near the town of Saketa (Ayodhya). One day, the Buddha had just entered the alleyways and met Mr. Nakulapita. As soon as he saw the Buddha, he ran to kneel down to grasp the two feet Buddha, exclaimed:

-  Con! Con! Baby, why did you leave your parents so long? Where have you been? You can see me now. Follow your father to visit his mother.

Then Nakulapita stood up, took the Buddha's hand to his house, the mendicants follow along.Just in the house, Mrs. Nakulamata looked stunned for a moment, then rushed to pay homage to the Buddha, fondly asked:

"  Baby, where have you been without visiting your parents?" Parents are old now, do not leave your parents go away!

Then she told her sons and daughters:

"  Come to your brother, please.

They invited the Buddha and the mendicants to stay at home. Mr. Nakulapita said:

-  Dear Lord, from now on every day, the Sun went to the shore, from where to go.

-  No religion, no Buddhas ever regular boy in a place.

-  So every day meal where Bhagavan let us know so that we bring that same food to eat with Bhagavan for fun.

To the amazement of the disciples, the Buddha explained: Nakulapita and Nakulamata have been parents or grandparents in previous lives. The boy finished, the Buddha sermon for two grandparents heard. Both of them are attained Sotapanna. Then every day Buddha is free, Mr. and Mrs. Nakula invited the Buddha to make offerings and hear the dharma, soon after both are attained Anatomy. The Buddha once again recalled that during the past 1500 lives the two grandparents have always been close to each other, have never done or say anything to each other, the two laypeople are living in happiness and have firm belief in the Three Jewels.

After three months, both Mr. and Mrs. Nakula are attained Arahant and entered Nirvana, the Buddha proved the cremation ceremony is very thoughtful.

4 nd in the parish Ghosita, Kosambi (-581)

In the capital of Kosambi, in the Vatsa kingdom, on the bank of the Yamuna River, a treasury manager named Ghosaka donated his simsapa to the Ghosita detector. There is also the director Treasury Kukkuta name Vihara Kukkuta offerings, and treasury director Pavariya name Vihara Pavariya offerings [13] .

 Mrs. Magandiya, the latter of King Udayana, defames the Buddha. [14 ]

A few years ago, in Kosambi, a beautiful young woman named Magandiya was born in a Brahmin family. Her parents are proud of her gorgeous beauty, just want to marry her for a worthy person. One day the Buddha came to the Brahmin worshiping the fire god outdoors. Seeing the good shape of the Buddha, he thought that this was indeed the son-in-law that he had longed for. He promptly invited the Buddha to linger waiting for him a moment will come back, and he rushed home to call his daughter. At that time, the Buddha deliberately stamped footprints on the ground and went to another place nearby. When the Brahmin leads his wife and beautifully dressed daughter to the place, only the Buddha's footprint is visible. His wife, good at numerology, knows that this footprint is not of ordinary people, but of the very pure, who eradicates all desires. Brahmin ridiculed his wife or fortune telling, saw the Buddha not far away, he led his daughter to propose to her. The Buddha wanted these two Brahmins to recount how he succeeded and defeated the three daughters of Mara, and he said shelves:

-  "Ai-Education Forums noticed, No-Man, and Take-Hope [15] ,

"I am not interested in the pleasures of love.

"The body is just a skin bag filled with urine and dirt,

"I never want to touch it, even with my foot.

Listen to the two grandchildren immediately testimonial Anagami (Anagami). But Magandiya was afflicted with affection, for it was an insult, so angry, she thought:

-  If this person does not need me, keep telling me the truth. Why did he say his body was full of urine and dirt? Very well, even if we have a good husband we will have a way of dealing with Gotama.

Shortly thereafter, the Brahmins delivered Magandiya to her adoptive grandmother, and left home to attain the Arahantship. The uncle took her to the court as the queen of Udayana [16]  of Vatsa.

In the ninth of the month, Magandiya used herpanics' money and instigated the slaves to scold the Buddha out of Kosambi. When the Buddha entered the alms round, they shouted loudly:

-  He was a thief, a fool, a madman, a camel, a cow, a donkey, a man in hell; are animals. He did not expect to get up in time. He will suffer in hell.

Venerable Ananda could not bear the curse of such disgusting, cruel. Master Buddha:

-  Lord Buddha, people are cursing and insulting us badly. Please move to another place.

-  Hey Ananda, where should we go now?

-  Lord Buddha, to another town.

-  If there are people who curse and insult me ​​then where will we go?

"  Lord Buddha, go to another place again."

-  Hey Ananda, do not say that. Wherever we have a hard time, we have to settle somewhere right there. And only when the arrangement is complete I have the right to go elsewhere. But, Ananda, who's the one who curses you?

-  White Buddha, who also curse me. Slaves, servants, and ... everyone.

The Buddha gave this opportunity to teach him Ananda practice ring as follows:

-  Ananda, like a warrior statue must be marked with bullets from the four sides rushed to shoot.Like that, we have to suffer the damn curse from everywhere. Indeed, the majority of people live non-virtuous.

Many horse elephants are brought before the king to choose. In the midst of the crowds of elephants, the king chose the most skilled child to ride. Among the people, the most worthy person is the mature, endured the curse .

Well-trained mules, Sindh-like horses and ivory-shaped cherubs are all worthy and precious. But the mature man, the solemn virtue is more than all. [17]

Then the Buddha continued:

-  Ananda, you should rest assured, these people just beat me for seven days, until the eighth day they will quiet. A difficult situation for a Buddha can not last more than seven days. [18]

Do not dismiss the Buddha, and again see the Queen Samavati is very reverent and trust the Buddha, Magandiya conspire for his uncle to burn fire Samavati. King Udayana know it, ordered burned straw Magandiya and abettor [19] .

 

Capture the leaves of simsapa and monks Malunkyaputta [20] 

During the ninth season, great disciples such as Mahakassapa, Moggallana, Sariputta were absent from the Buddha seat because they had to preside over the other retreat centers. Rahula must study with Sariputta. Adjacent to the Buddha is the attendant Nagita and teacher Ananda.

Ghosita condominium is located in the simsapa forest. One afternoon from the forest, the Buddha holding a handful of simsapa leaves. He picked up the leaf and asked the monks who were present:

-  Teachers, leaves in the Tathagata hand or leaves in the forest much?

-  Praise the Buddha, the number of leaves in the hands of the Buddha is very little, but the leaves in the forest are countless countless.

-  Yes, the teachers, knowledge of Tathagata as much as the number of leaves in the forest, but the Tathagata teaches you just like the number of leaves in the fist. Why so? Because Tathagata just wants to present to you what really is useful for the practice to achieve enlightenment and liberation only. Once completely enlightened then of course you have full knowledge of a Buddha without learning. But now you should put all your mind into the practice of meditation that has the benefit of enlightenment and liberation, not to worry and to waste time in futile discussions.

The reason why the Buddha has such advice is because a few days ago Mr. Malunkyaputta and some other mendicants, after a heated debate with each other, dragged together to ask the Buddha:

-  Lord, is this universe boundary or boundless? Limited or infinite?

The Buddha silent silence. Malunkyaputta could not bear the Buddha's silence, continued:

"  If the Blessed One answered my questions, I would continue to study with him for the rest of my life." If not, I would give up the almsgiving congregation. If you really know the universe is endowed or infinite, then please say so. And if you do not know, do not tell him straight away.

The Buddha looked at the teacher Malunkyaputta freely said:

-  Malunkyaputta, the teacher asked to leave home, Tathagata has promised him to explain to you about such questions? Tathagata says, "Malunkyaputta, you leave home, will Tathagata teach you about metaphysical matters?"

-  Lord, do not.

-  So why now you set conditions with Tathagata?

Malunkyaputta, as if one was hit by a poisoned arrow. The relatives invited a physician to extract the arrow and bandage and give the pesticide. But the person who was hit by the name did not let the doctor touch his wound. He said, "Wait, before healing the wound, I want to know who shot the arrow, what is the name of the person, what age, where, what type of work, what class, for what purpose shoot I also want to know what the wood is made of, and how the poison is processed. "Malunkyaputta, the wounded man will die before he finds out all that. (Trung A-ji: Kinh Diễu)

So is the monk. Things that the monk must know and must practice are the basic things that Tathagata has been teaching teachers. As for other things, because there is no practical benefit to the practice and practice to go to enlightenment and liberation, so Tathagata not talk about.

Listen to this, Malunkyaputta sincerely ask for repentance, then bow out.

Dispute between a teacher and a lawyer. [21] 

After a two-and-a-three-week absence, at the Ghosita monastery in the capital Kosambi, Vatsa, there was a dispute between a monk and a lawyer in the almsgiving congregation. The teacher is the teacher who praised and taught the Buddha's teachings, such as the Dhammapada, the Doctrine of the Prime Minister, the Enlightenment, the Noble Eightfold Path ... The lawyers are the monks and nuns. Teaching the precepts, such as the ordained monastic world, the preceptor's world ...

One day, after bathing, one of the teachers forgot to draw a well to fill the bath in the bath. A lawyer entered the bath afterwards, found no water immediately to scare the scribes:

-  Dear friends, have you finished bathing and forget to bring water to the bathroom?

-  Dear friend, yes.

- Do  not you know how to do that?

-  Dear friends, I forgot. So let me go and bring water in.

-  Good! Hey, if you commit a mistake without knowing, not intentionally, then you are not guilty.

Then the lawyer told his students:

-  The teacher did not know mistakes.

Proctor of the lawyer told the student's close friend:

-  The law teacher said that he taught sin without knowing it.

The dear student of the teacher told his master:

-  The lawyer said he was guilty without knowing.

-  I just forgot to bring water after bath. Yesterday he said I'm not guilty, why today say I'm guilty? He lied!

The student's close friend came to the lawyer's close friend:

-  The scribe said the lawyer lied.

The two sides to speak again. Finally, the lawyer declared that the monk had committed a crime without repentance, according to the law, he would not be allowed to attend recitations every half a month. The scribe said he was not guilty, it is the lawyer who speaks new guilty of guilty of repentance. Debate from small to tear up. The mendicants split into two sides of heated debate. The condition becomes strained. The mendicants do not take sides, lamenting each other:

-  died lost! Dead lose! There is also a serious division within the congregation.

Some beggars presented to the Buddha divide in public. The Buddha called the attorney to explain what happened, then he said:

-  Have to keep the precepts must be very strict to the mind is pure. But the precepts are only a means to make the practice easier and quick towards the goal of enlightenment and liberation. If the precepts, mind, controversy, birth, discord, bodhicitta, then the precepts lost all its noble meaning and goals. In this case you should be happy to be better.

The Buddha then called the professor to present the matter, then he said:

-  It was time for teachers to forget to take water to fill the bath after bathing is a small pick. But if you endured the pain of repentance with the teacher from the beginning, everything was fine. But it is not too late, now you should endure the repentance so that everything becomes good.

But the Buddha's intervention was not effective. Both sides of the revered speech should be severely touched narcissism severely. The bishops standing in the middle are not strong enough to settle a reconciliation. The interior reaches the ears of laypeople, and soon all the denominations know it. The prestige of the mendicant congregation was severely damaged. Ven. Nagita's attendant again brought the proceedings to the Buddha and asked the Buddha to intervene again. The next morning, the Buddha wore a robe and went straight to the lecture hall, telling the attendant Nagita to ring the bell. When everyone gathered at the lecture hall, the Buddha said:

"  Teacher, the old king of Kosala was Dighiti defeated by Kasi king Brahmadatta. King Dighiti, along with his son, Dighavu, flees to Benares. But Dighiti was betrayed by the barber, and was accused of murdering him. Before dying, he instructed Dighavu as follows:  Hey, look forward, do not  look close [22] ; Hatred  can not be ended by hatred, hatred can only be stopped by act of forgiving tolerance . Dighavu later became Brahmadatta's trusted servant. One day, while hunting in the forest, Dighavu was in strong hands, telling Brahmadatta he was Dighiti's son, and, as he was told, he had completely eradicated hatred. Brahmadatta immediately for Dighavu return as king of Kosala [23] .

Master, hatred is a poison for yourself. Narcissism, anger and division are three major obstacles to the practice. Teach them to stop fighting the arguments immediately because something does not lose harmony between them. Increased harmony is an essential condition for practicing meditation and visualization. Teachers should not let the fire burning the virtue of the practice of the teacher. Teachers should not embark on the insatiable apprehension boat, as it will send the monks into the dark hell realm. The demeanor's attitude has hurt the congregational mission of the congregation, and that attitude only brings suffering to samsara. You should stop jealousy. Teach the penitents to return to the Dharma.

A marshal stood up, saying:

-  Lord, please stand out of this dispute. Please stay in the joy of meditation. We have grown up, we can solve this problem ourselves. Please do not intervene in private matters between us.

The mendicant said, everyone was silent. The Buddha was also silent. A moment later, he got up, left the auditorium, returned to the porch, and went to the Kosambi city by himself. Alone finished, the Buddha into the forest alone to eat the boys. When the boys finished, the Buddha got up, hugging the bowl along the banks of the Yamuna River, leaving the city of Kosambi. No one is allowed to follow the Buddha, including the attendant Nagita and Ananda.

Bhagu Bhakti meets the Buddha in the city of Balaka [24] 

The Buddha went to Balaka (Balajalonakara) city. Here he meets Bhagu. Seeing the Buddha, Venerable Bhagu was delighted. He took the Buddha to a cluster of forests, invited the Buddha to sit, then go get water and towels for Buddha wash his face and hands. The Buddha inquired about his study. He replied:

-  Lord, I feel very comfortable, peaceful, although only alone.

-  Being alone is better than staying with more than one person.

Then the Buddha said the following verse:

If you meet good knowledge,

Should live in harmony,

Mutual support and joy,

Together risk. (Dumb Duk, lesson 328)

Not good knowledge

To live in harmony,

We would rather live alone

As the king left the country,

Elephants in the forest. (Dumb Duk, lesson 329)

If you live alone,

No you with fishermen er i stupid,

Relax, do not do evil,

Do not worry, like elephants. (Dumb Dab, post 330)

After teaching more about the teachings and encouraging the Bhagu Venerable Bhikkhu to study, the Buddha left his teacher to go to Dong Truc Park not far away.

Anuruddha Anupdha meets Buddha at Dong-Truc Park [25] 

At the gate of Dongguan Park in Karagama City, the Buddha was stopped by the gardener. He said:

-  Do not go to the park, do not disturb the teacher meditating in it.

The Buddha did not know how to say the great virtue Anuruddha from the park came out. Seeing the Buddha, great virtue greeted salute, then said to the gardener:

-  This is our teacher, please let him in.

Great Buddha brought the Buddha into the park to meet the virtues of Nandiya and Kimbila.Nandiya lifted the bowl, and Kimbila lifted the garment to the Buddha. They invited the Buddha to sit next to a yellow bamboo, bring water and towels to wash his face and wash his feet. Then the three hands to pay respect Buddha. Buddha asked:

-  Are the teachers here safe? Is the training convenient? Is begging and propagation easy?

"  The Blessed One," replied Anuruddha, "we are safe here, the scenery is calm, the begging and the propagation is no obstacle. Thanks to the favorable context, we have made much progress in our study.

-  Do the teachers love each other and get along?

-  Dear Brother, we love each other. We harmonize with each other as easily as water with milk.Whenever something important happens we come together to make a common decision. While learning Dhamma, if there is anything suspicious or unclear, we discuss together to learn and exchange experience with each other. Dear Lord, thanks to the three people in common, we can see that our study is easier and more convenient.

-  Very well, the Buddha said, living in harmony with each other is the most favorable conditions for the study.

The Buddha stayed in Dong Truc Park for a month to observe the way of living and study of the three teachers, while teaching more teachings and practice. Before leaving the great virtues of Anuruddha, Nandiya and Kimbila, the Buddha said:

-  Teacher, if all the mendicants in the congregation can treat each other as teachers, it is very beneficial and easy for the common practice. From now Tathagata proposed application allows  Luc Hoa  below for mendicant in general:

1.  Firstly  relatives residing sociable , peace means the sharing together a retreat center, a forest or a roof.

2-  The second is  the harmony of the army , that is to share the same food and amenities in life.

3.  Third  World religious harmony , together means respecting the common law world.

4-  The fourth is  the invisible , that is, to speak with each other using gentle words, do not use the words cause friction and controversy.

5-  The fifth is  the mediation of mutual understanding , that is to learn together and exchange knowledge in peace, not be concealed or debated.

6-  Friday is  the desire to co-approve , that is, when different opinions, must review together so that people harmonious and sympathetic with each other.

Teachers, from now on, all the monks in the congregation must take these six principles of harmony that treat one another.

The three monks happily listen to the Buddha's teachings. The Buddha left the three teachers, set off north. Seven days after the Buddha came to the forest Rakkhita, near the city of Parileyyaka. The Buddha came to rest under a beautiful sala tree, leaves sums up. Recognizing the scenery here is so cool, cool climate, the Buddha intends to stay here alone in the coming holiday season.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/9/2017.
