In a very ugly hut, there was a boy begging the ugly donkey to be hunched over with his mother.

Your father is also begging to live for days, but lately things have been getting harder and harder, so his father fired him out of the house.

The poor beggar, who is ugly, is still young, and has not been able to get a meal for a few days, all the while starving to death, fortunately having a temple to keep him.

Abbot in the pagoda assigned him to take charge of sweeping the altars are placed before the Buddha statue in the temple, then every day provided tea for him. The beggar was very happy, finally there was a place for him to eat rice, then the beggar boy became a monk.

But the next day, when the monk came to see the Buddhist temple, see a fat monk is sweeping the altar, more cleansing is the use of the heart, clean glossy altar. The monk did not go out of grace, nor did he sweep, naturally had no food, so hungry for a day.

The next day, the monk once again sweeps out, discovers that the frugal brother has already cleaned up, the monk still has no chance to clean, so no face to go. eat rice.

The hungry monk was hungry for a dizzying head, and a tall monk saw the monk's form so nervous, asking what did the monk say?

The monk said that he had not eaten for two days, and the high brother said, "Tomorrow, my mother will bring two bowls, please add a bowl of vegetarian rice for him.

On the third day, the hungry monk sat down on his bed, unable to stand up, lying there waiting for the high brother to bring vegetarian food for himself.

Waiting for the monk forever, look forward forever, the sky has gradually darkened, finally the elder brother has returned. Brother returned empty two brothers said to the monk said: "Brother, when back on the road unfortunately encountered a group of evil dogs, have eaten all the vegetarian parents request it. The weak monk said to the brother, "It's okay, thank you, brother."

On the fourth day, a great omniscient monk went to the coast, eventually avoiding the evil dogs, and safely returning the vegetarian food. The Grand Master came into the room of the monk, found in the room of the monk did not know why the window was locked. So the great sage used his divine power, a virtuoso, leading the Master through the entrance door.

After seeing the monk, he immediately said, "Let's go and eat rice."

The hand of the monk has just reached the bowl of rice bowl, then the bowl suddenly fell all the rice to the floor.

The Master saw, the two hands to read the words, trying to pick up the number of rice falling in the air, again to the front of the monk, the bell sounded in the temple, just smart At noon, monks should observe the precepts "overtime without food".

Informed Brother brother is a bit uncomfortable, loay hoay half a day still can not help the monk eat half a piece of rice.

So, the little monk gave a weak smile to Master Thong, saying, "Thank you, Master Than. Please give me a bowl of water. " Master thought that, eat not rice, can drink sips of water is also good. Turned out to get water.

The monk heard the monk say in his back: "The Most Compassionate Brother, please add a little ash into the water."

Informant Brother felt sorry, but still accept the monk.

At this moment, the monk had breathless breath.

The great novice came to a bowl of water to add the ash, a monk to drink a drink, then the monk could sit up again.

The monk said gloriously, "Are you curious why you are drinking water for ash? Let me justify the excuse for you ".

Turned out the monk right from birth was remembered for his previous life.

Life before the monk was a wealthy dad. After the death of his father left all the property for him. His mother is a good man to give good deeds, always give money to food for beggars. This very wealthy guy is very stingy, very dislike his mother to do so.

So, one day after his mother gave him food money for the beggars, the rich son of an anger threw up his mother and shouted: "This money is my father left to me. , but do not leave this to the bum! " He tried to take his mother home and locked up in the room, seven days and seven nights not to her mother eat rice drink.

On the eighth day, the rich kid thought his mother was hungry, unlocked the door, see his mother lying on the ground still breathing, eyes closed eyes. He asked his mother, "What do you say?"

In the mother's throat hoarse emits a "water".

So, the rich guy thought, "Well, then I'll add a little ash into the water, even if she does not choke, she will be choked to death."

The rich boy brought ashes to his mother, the mother after the drink was indeed choking death.

Informed Brother brother heard finished, nodded nod to understand something.

The monk said with a smile: "This is your response." So he lay in bed, then stopped breathing.
