1. Sariputta, the first wisdom.
He Sariputta, smaller Buddha few years old, born in the village of Upatissa (Nalaka), Nalanda district, the name father Vanganta [1] , the mother called Rupa-Sari. At the time of his pregnancy, Ms. Sari suddenly became great intelligence, teaching and teaching the Vedas very well, more than her husband Vanganta and he is Mr. Dighanakha. Sariputta has three daughters, Cala, Upacala and Sisupacala, and three younger brothers, Canda, Upasena and Revata. 3 brother later were ordained and attained Arhat [2] .
According to Xa-Loi Section-Liaoning in the Buddhist scriptures Sutra 48From childhood, Mr. Sariputta had a good-looking body, as he grew up learning the industry, understanding the four Vedas. At the age of sixteen, he discussed dressing up others, all of them in line. He became a celebrity in the village and was nicknamed Upatissa. He made friends with Moggallana in nearby Kolita village. One day, the two invited each other to attend a solemn sacrifice ceremony in Rajagriha, see people mixed play, suddenly thought of life impermanent, two friends come together to find teacher teachers. After questioning contemporary masters, Sariputta and Moggallana came to life with Sanjaya, one of the six pagans. In just seven days, the two of them had mastered the teachings of the teacher, and were assigned to become teachers, which could replace teachers to teach their fellow students. But Sariputta and Moggallana are not satisfied,
Soon, Sariputta was walking in Rajagriha's palace to find Assaji, who was begging for alms. Seeing the great virtue Assaji looks elegant, generous to go to court, he asked:
- The false white glass, his ministry is pure and pure. Could you please tell me why you escaped secularism? Who is your teacher? Who do you spread the teachings?
- Dear friend, Assaji replied, just as a monk, not enough ability to explain the full and clear teachings of the dharma.
- fake white glass, son of Sariputta in Upatissa village, respectfully ask the author of a little more education, I will try to find out what part or section. Please teach me some essential points, summing up some important ideas in the teachings that you have learned.
- the Buddha Gotama teaches a lot, but you increase just under four following verses. So prolific read to the man heard:
Ye dhamma hetuppabhava -
tesam hetum tathagato
Aha tesan ca yo nirodho -
evam vadi maha samano.
Meaning:
The dharmas are due to conditions.
As-Lai clearly explained the causes and conditions
And the only way to end the dharma.
The great monk taught like that. [3]
These four verses have just summarized the causal relationship of the arising and extinguishing of the dharmas and the practice of liberation. Mr. Sariputta is very smart, just heard the first two words immediately burst and hit the Sotapanna (Sotapanna). From then onwards, to show gratitude to the great Assaji, whenever he heard the Assaji whereabouts, Sariputta turned in his direction and bowed his head, and as he always slept, he turned his head in that direction.
As committed, Sariputta goes to find Moggallana and reads four verses. After hearing this, Moggallana also attained the completion of Tu-momentum. They went to the old teacher Sanjaya-Belatthiputta informs and invited him to come to life with the Buddha. Sanjaya declined, but 155 of his followers followed Sariputta and Moggallana to Gecko Forest to apply for fellowship with the Buddha. A post-Moggallana post-Arahant. By the second week, when the Buddha taught the Vedana Pariggaha to Dighanakha, the great Sariputta attained the Arhat. That afternoon, the Buddha summoned all the disciples around him to enthrone the great Sariputta as the first, the first-rank intellectual.
According to the Twelve , after his ordination, Sariputta used to follow the Buddha, helping him to teach, organize and run the Church. He is often praised and trusted by the Buddha. He was the key figure in leading the Sudatta laypeople to establish the Jetavana mansion from start to finish. When Devadatta established his own church in Gayasisa, it was Sariputta and Moggallana who came to the place of sermon and advised the mendicants to return to the Buddha. It is also the great virtue of Sariputta who teaches the abhidhamma of the Buddha, so that the masters are easy to understand.
In -545, Venerable Sariputta visited Upatissa village and visited her mother seriously and took care of her until she died. After the cremation of Ms. Sari, available full of relatives and residents in the village, the Sermon preached to them. Everyone listened attentively because the Venerable Master said very well. The venerable preacher of life is impermanent and is filled with suffering of the body as well as of the mind, the dharma is the only way that can bring man out of the ocean of birth and death to purity of pure nirvana. After the Dharma, the Venerable took refuge in the Three Jewels for nearly ten people. Then that night the Venerable sat seated in the lotus posture. Early the following morning, Cunda's attendant realized that the Venerable Sariputta had passed away at midnight. Previously, the Venerable said that he wanted to exterminate before the Buddha, instructing Cunda to bring the bowl and relics of the Venerable to the Buddha and ask him to accompany him. The bowl and relics of Venerable Sariputta were invited by the king of Kosala to Sravasti and the temple was built in Jetavana. In addition, Upatissa and Buddhists built a giant brick tower at Nalanda University.
According to the Lotus Sutra, Lord Buddha had signed Sariputta to become the Padmaprabha, in the world of Virajja, in the Maha-ratana- vyuha kalpa).

But his parents did not allow him to leave the family. He went on hunger strike for several days. His parents did not want him. The two Moggallana and Sariputta invited each other to hear the six foreigners who had taught the sermon, and finally they came to Sanjaya. In just seven days, the two of them mastered the teachings of the teacher, and were assigned to the teacher, Can replace teachers to teach your fellow students. But Sariputta and Moggallana were not happy, they separated from each other and went to find the master, Sariputta went south, Moggallana went to the north, and when he met the master, he would inform each other to come to school. Soon, Sariputta met the great Assaji at Rajagriha, and was read by the great Assaji to hear the four verses of the Buddha on impermanence and liberation. After he finished listening, Mr. Sariputta immediately attained the results. When Mr. Sariputta met Mr. Moggallana and reread the four verses, Moggallana also attained the result. They go to see Master Sanjaya and invite the master to come to life with the Buddha, but Sanjaya refuses. Meanwhile, Sanjaya's disciples, accompanied by two sages Sariputta and Moggallana, came to seek ordination with the Buddha in Gecko Forest, 2 km south of Rajagriha.

General told that it is a good omen for the future boy, so the family also called him Thien Cat.
Childhood Subhuti is often brought to the poor, sometimes take off his shirt for always. Parents advise not to keep Subhuti always in the house, not out of the way. Subhuti did not bother, preferring reading books on philosophy and religion. Subhuti often proudly told his parents:
- All the laundering in the universe is clear in my mind, my heart as nothing empty roasted nothing.
When the Buddha had just established Jetavana in Sravasti, Subhuti's parents came to the refuge with the Buddha. One day his father said:
- Subhuti, I usually give myself the wisdom, understanding the truth, the universe, human life. But compared to the Buddha, the child lost a lot. The Buddha not only great wisdom, but also the great deity, great compassion. From the moment he reached Sravasti, officials, prodigies, people and people came to him with great refuge. I was about to visit the house of God to give him the opportunity to learn more.
Subhuti hangs up with Buddha, so he sneaks to Jetavana that afternoon to see who the Buddha is. When Subhuti saw the Buddha sitting on the high sermon, his solemn body, his warm, clear voice, before thousands of listeners sat quietly listening. The Buddha said the ending paragraph as follows:
- Hey, you, world affairs are full of suffering by war, death, robbery, killing each other, is because delusional beings. Everything is impermanent, not self, but self is self, is self. The pleasure in life is the cause of suffering that is happy. Therefore suffering torment without a way out. You should be diligent in the practice of the Precepts of Wisdom to realize that all sentient beings share the same nature, so long as the peaceful, pure, eternal plane of Nibbana will appear to you.
Although only hearing the ending, Subhuti was very touched and expected soon to learn the practice of Precepts Hue, he immediately approached the Buddha before the Buddha asked to become a disciple. The Buddha happily accepted.
Subhuti, who had a poor and arduous nature, did not understand the higher teachings, so he went to alms round the rich. Maha-Kassapa, on the other hand, goes to beg for food in the poor, for he wants to give them the opportunity to do good deeds to make good karma for the next life. When the Buddha learned, they condemned the two he was not equal, and advised the mendicant should practice equality by begging in the order of each house, regardless of rich and poor.

- 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 person who first met As-Lai is Subhuti. Subhuti is currently observing the emptiness of the dharmas and practicing emptiness in a mountain cave in Griddhakuta, so he is the first to see the Buddha.

After listening to the Tripitaka again, the Vinaya Sutta, Punna Mantaniputta commented:
- Dear brothers and sisters, these kinds of teachings are very precious things to be admired. On the whole content, I have no further comments. But about the Vinaya, I find that there are eight prohibitions about eating that are not in accordance with the Buddha's will, and may interfere with the operation of the sangha in a monastery. As forbidding food, banning food from other places, banning the consumption of fruits, banning the production of food made from lakes and ponds ... Meeting the poor, hungry, Without food, the Buddha allowed these eight things.

8. Upali [13] (First Law), the First Law.
Upali is a barber, 10 years younger than Buddha in Sakya, near the border of Malla. In -588, one day, six Sakya princes, Bhaddiya, Devadatta, Anuruddha, Bhagu, Kimbila and Ananda traveled by bus from Kapilavastu to the border of Malla. Walking together to Anupiya City Malla, not far from the border. Anuruddha asked everyone to take off all the precious jewelry, dressed simply before crossing the border. Everyone agrees. They took off the string of beads and gold rings of silver wrapped in a shirt. When they arrived in a small village, they met a poor barber shop. The hairdresser is a young man of their own age, whose face is handsome but ragged. Anuruddha went to the shop asking for directions to the Anupiya city.
Upali took the princes across the border of Malla, headed for Anupiya, and greeted the princes to return. Anuruddha thanked Upali and gave Upali the jeweled garment in it. He said:
- Upali, we want to follow the Buddhist monk. We do not need these jewelery anymore. We donate to you. Each gold jewelry is enough for him to live happily ever after.
The princes departed from Upali and set off. The barber opened the shirt. Gold jewel makes him eye white. I do not believe this is true. Suddenly he felt nervous, he felt lost all the daily peace and security. I'm afraid the lovers will kill you to rob. I fear the officer knows that he will be the thief. Upali think. He saw the wealthy sovereign so powerful, so left to leave the monk, then the monk must have something more precious than rich to fame. He suddenly thought to throw away the treasure package to follow the prince. He hung up the treasure package on a nearby tree, and whispered who was the first to see the treasure pack, and the treasure would belong to him. Then he rushed to follow the prince.
The crowds were surprised to find Upali running after him. Devadatta asks:
- Upali, what do you run after us? Where do you wrap your jewels?
Upali gasped, then told the story. He said he hung up the treasure package on a branch, because when he picked up the treasure package he felt fear for nature, the heart unsafe. He begs the monks to allow him to accompany him to Anupiya for ordination with the Buddha. Devadatta laughed:
- You want to go out as we do?
But Anuruddha and Bhaddiya immediately agreed:
- Very nice, so let's go. There he led the way as easy for us.
The Buddha and the Sangha are residing in a forest about two kilometers southeast of Anupiya, near the Anoma River. Seven people seek to see the Buddha. Bhaddiya on behalf of the whole group presented to the Buddha their wish to be ordained. Buddha silent approval. Bhaddiya continued:
- Lord, we beg for Upali was ordained before. So we have to see Upali as a brother to eliminate the stigma that stigmatized in our hearts.
The Buddha praised all seven, then gave Upali first, after the six princes. Ananda, who was only 18 years old, was ordained, but was ordained only [14] and studied as a monk. At the age of 20, Ananda was ordained as a beggar.
Upali specializes in religious discipline very seriously, was praised by the Buddha as the first law disciples and usually appointed great virtue to reconcile the friction in the mendicant.
In the first Buddhist lecture at the Saptaparna cave in Rajagriha, the Upali Venerable has been proposed for the same law, consisting of three parts:
1) Patimokkha ( Bhikkhu -carnoba, the Supplication) is about the virtues of monks and nuns, to help the three karmas and six are pure.
2) The Mahavagga ( monastic law) talks about the ordained monks, penitents, junior, offering ... in a large group of monks and nuns.
3) Cullavagga is the law of punishment, harmony, temple building, duty and responsibility of the Sangha, in a small group of monks and nuns.
In the Tibetan mandala of the Tantra, Upali was ranked seventh, the left side of Shakyamuni, the general monk, full body color, sitting cross legged on the lotus leaf court.
9. Rahula [15] (Hail), the first secret.
Mr. Rahula, born in 1952 in Kapilavastu, Sakya, is the father of Prince Siddhattha, 29, the mother of Princess Yasodhara, the same age as his father. The word "Rahula" means "condemnation and bondage". It is said that Rahula was born when Rahulâsura-raja covered his face with the moon; Rahula is still in her mother's womb for six years, so she has the name "Phu Chan" (condemned and bound).
After giving birth to Rahula for 7 days, King Suddhodana celebrated his granddaughter's name. By midnight, everyone was tired of sleeping, Prince Siddhattha took good chances with Channa (Kanata) on horse Kanthaka (Kien-Trac) surpassed the monk.
In -588, when the Buddha returned to Kapilavastu for the first time after his enlightenment, Rahula asked his ordination, at which time he was only seven years old. The Buddha told Venerable Sariputta that he was the apostle and Moggallana as the Aleppo, and gave Rahula the first novice nun, quiet in the hour the mendicants meditate.
In -581, at the Ghosita clinic, Rahula was 14 years old, one day after getting up early to sweep a large garden, returning home am I was assigned by the master to another mourner . Rahula stood up blankly when a heavy rain came, he had to run to the toilet sitting in the rain. However, he did not blame anyone, he kept the patience and gentleness of the people.
In -579, Rahula was 16 years old, begging alms to the great Sariputta at Rajagriha (Wang-amnesty). Suddenly there was a scoundrel who came to put sand into Sariputta's bowl and got a stick on Rahula's head. blood. Master Sariputta comforted:
- Rahula, if it is true that the Buddha disciples must have patience, in the heart never start anger, so compassion mercy beings mislead. The Buddha often teaches us, when we are praised not to be arrogant, when humiliated do not give birth to resentment. Rahula, should temper the anger with patience and compassion to promote morality.
Rahula remained calm, came to a house on the side of the road asking for water to wash the wound and apply some cloth to bandage, then he said:
- White teacher, in this world so many people ignorance evil. Wherever you go, all the boring stuff. The Blessed One teaches us to have great compassion for them, to put on the humiliation of humiliating us. The mendicants keep the patience to increase the virtue, the rascals scorned, the reverence to respect the aggressors more cruel than them. Although they have heard the Buddha teach the truth of compassion for patience, they also think that the body is like a corpse. For the ruthless people who are not a little good, having the Dhamma told them is not good either.
The Buddha taught Rahula nonsense very strictly, especially when he did something illegal. As he grew up, great virtue Rahula adhered to the precepts very well, which was praised by the most virtuous disciples. He passed away before the Buddha, about 48 years old, with the relics of the monastery at Jetavana (tower No. 12).
According to the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha said that thanks to the previous life, Rahula was born as the son of the Bodhisattva Prince, until Bodhisattva became a Buddha, Rahula became a Buddha. Not only in this life, but in many future lives, Rahula will always be the firstborn of all Buddhas to receive the Dharma, until he becomes the Buddha himself as Sapta- ratana-padmavikramin).
