At the time of the Buddha, there was a Sultan named Ta Ta Ta. Suddenly one day the king was willing to give as much gift, as much as the mountains filled with treasures, claiming that everyone who came would give a handful.

People have long been asking for that treasure has not yet fallen. The Buddha knows the King has many blessings in front can be converted, instantaneously made a visit Pham Chi. The king was very happy, finished the ceremony asked:

- What do you want to tell me? I offer it.

Pham Chi responded:

- I came here from far, begs the king of jewels in exchange for materials for housing.

The king replied:

- I'm very please to grab a grab.

Pham Chi take a handful, go seven steps, return to the old place.

The king asked:

- Why do not you?

- With the money is enough to build a house, but woe to me later to marry again, it is not enough, so I do not take.

- Well, he took three more.

Pham Chi grabbed three, took seven steps back to pay the old place.

- Why are you so?

- With the number of treasures is enough to get married, but what to do farm field, servant, buffalo horses, I do not count enough, should be more.

- Well, he took seven more.

Pham Chi finished, went seven steps back to pay the old place.

- Why are you still not satisfied?

- If I have children to take care of marrying, to prepare, but also the house of kite, communicate well, I count still lack, so do not take.

- I offer all, he took enough!

Pham Chi steps up treasure and back down not received.

The king was very strange, saying:

- How he does, I do not understand.

- I want to ask him to seek life. But I reckon the life of man is not long, all things are not permanent, light is dark, difficult to hold. Although I have been treasured by the mountains, the sake has benefited me completely. How much craving, how hard labor, not to give up desire, seek liberation, training the virtues for themselves, for the family, for the society, are aimed at the purpose ball, wisdom is over, so I do not take.

At that time the king was awakened, the mind was clear to hear the law.

Lecture finished, the Buddha Buddha body radiant bright bright, the king and his eldest happy joy to the five precepts, the results of the Sutra.

There is a saying: "People often live as if they never die, and eventually die as if we never lived." In this life, although the dynasty changed, in the East or West, one life is not without a thing: to set up karma, give birth to children, accumulating wealth ... People often hard to pursue the desire This little wonder:  What is the meaning of my life?

An ancient practitioner had poetry that:

"Bridge to seek throughout the world

It was not like the old time Tao

The chicken was fed to the pot

The barren rice is not comfortable

Phu quarter hundred years to keep floating

The cycle of samsara is still circulating

Encouraging people to seek a way to cultivate

Losing the human body of the nan.

Do not go to the grave. What is the meaning of life, you have the answer for yourself? END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.22/5/2018.
