In the four hardships of the world taught by the Buddha, we are called temporally to overcome the first three difficulties. Only the fourth thing is that we do not have enough grace to see the Buddha and hear the Fa from his mouth. Anyway, also self-consolation for being born as a human body, to know the Buddha, to hear and practice according to the teachings of the Buddha.

People appear so

The world is rare. [3]

It is because he is so great and so difficult to find so his birth event has become a rare, rare and very miraculous event. It is neither sacred nor mysterious, the birth or the birth of the Bodhisattva is recorded through many of the suttas of the Nikāya system.

In the School of the Ministry [4], The Buddha preached some common methods when a great Bodhisattva was born with a different personality, human beings. Not only the Gotama Buddha in the present time but the Buddhas in the past as the Vipassī, the Sikhī Buddha, the Vesabhū The Kakusandha Buddha, the Konāgamana Buddha, the Kassapa Buddha ... also have some superimposed phenomena in the same way when they were born from the fetus of the body. The ways of birth of the Buddhas are the same as their appearance in the world has touched the world of gods and other species; They are born under the tree in the midst of immense nature; They came out from the mother's womb and claimed that they were the supreme in the three worlds; They have good generals with 32 good generals and 80 generals and their message in life is to save suffering beings. The Buddha describes in detail the methods of birth of the past and present Buddhas through the colorful image of the Bodhisattva Sabbathi and his mother.

Part Nidanakatha [5] (Note Coast Luan) opening of Note Story precursor Jàtaka book-Atthakatha be seen as a study mentioned in some detail about the history of the life of the Buddha in the system Tripitaka Pali record that:

Nearly ten months pregnant, the queen knew she was about to enter the period of her labor, according to her custom, she returned to her hometown of Devadaha [6] to prepare for the birth of the emperor. The king commanded to repair the street, preparing everything attentive from the palanquin to Queen procession to the group of girls, servants to follow not to miss something. On the way came, Queen Mahāmāyā on a palanquin palanquin and noble. The crowd greeted the two sides of the road overflowing with the flag of heaven. Everywhere, the birds want to sing, the flowers want to bloom as expected to welcome a very great event never happened.

The delegation went to the Sālā orchard of Lumbini Park, [7] in the middle of the border between Sākya and Koliya, the queen saw hundreds of flowers blooming, smelling a whole region, feeling joyful she ordered A group of people to rest for her time to visit the exhibition.

When Queen Mahāmāyā went to the garden of Lumbini, all the gods proclaimed the ten thousand worlds: " Today the Bodhisattva will be born out of the womb ." Devas, devotees, hands holding gifts from the heavens as heavenly objects, the sky, sky music to offer the Bodhisattva with white cords covering the space.

Empress Mahāmāyā to a tree Sālā has a large body, full of flowers are blooming. When standing up his right arm, the tree branches naturally down, she reached for the tree with a beautiful posture and very stable posture. At that time, the queen was pregnant, the girls immediately cover the area around the standing [8] ; At that time, the noble Bodhisattva was born from the queen Mahāmāyā in a gentle, relaxed way with his right foot down, like a magician leaving the court. Then, on the sixth day, the full moon day of Vesākha month (in the full moon day of April) in 623 BC, ten months of motherhood.

At that time, ten thousand worlds shook. Devotees and scribes shouting joy and spread the grasp of the sky; All types of musical instruments naturally emit wonderful sounds. The whole world becomes transparent, transparent, in all directions without interruption. All thirty-two phenomenal phenomena occur simultaneously to signal the birth of the Bodhisattva.

When the Bodhisattva from the womb is born, then an immeasurable miracle, which surpasses the power of the gods appearing throughout the world, including the worlds of the gods, the world of the devas and Brahma, and the lower world consists of Brahmins, Brahmins, princes and people. To the realms in the middle of the world, there is no foundation, dark, dark, the realms that the moon, the sun with great power, so great virtue can not penetrate, in the scene he, a halo of immeasurable, far away from the power of the gods appear. And the living beings in those places, thanks to the light that he saw each other said: "There are other beings living here." And ten thousand worlds move, vibrate, move. And the magical immeasurable miracles that far away from the power of the gods appear in the world.[9]

At the Bodhisatta's birth, there are two pure and cool water pillars from above emptying over the body of the Bodhisattva and his mother as a sign of reverence.

When the Bodhisattva from the womb born, he was born pure, not contaminated by any viscous fluid, not contaminated by any kind of pus, not contaminated by any kind of blood, not contaminated by any Things are impure, pure, pure.

When the Bodhisattva from the womb born, two streams from nowhere, a cold stream, a hot stream. These two streams are bathed for the Bodhisattva and for the mother. [ten]

The four great offenders, who were far removed from afflictions, first received the Bodhisatta in a gold net at the time of his birth. Then they put Him in front of the mother and said,

"Empress please. The queen was born a great man. " [11]

Next, the four celestial beings received the Bodhisattva from the hands of the four deities with the black skin of the chamois, which was considered a good luck. Again, the maids receive the Bodhisattva from the hands of the four Kings of the white cloth.

Leaving the ladies' hands, the Bodhisatta stepped down to the ground, walked seven steps, starting with his right foot, then stopped, looked at the directions, and finally stopped at the north and uttered the sentence. shelves [12] :

Aggohamasmi lettuce,

Jeṭṭhohamasmi lokassa,

Seṭṭhohamasmi lokassa,

Ayamantimā jāti,

Natthidāni punabbhavo.

"I am the supreme being in the world.

I am the supreme in the world.

I am the highest in the world.

Now is the last life,

No more reborn in this life. " [13]

One particular point to keep in mind is that as he walked, he actually walked on the ground, but humanity saw him gliding past nothing. The Bodhisatta walked with the naked body of a new baby, but mankind saw him walking with complete clothing. Bodhisatta walked with the shape of a new baby, but humanity saw him through a young man at the age of sixteen. [14]

When the Bodhisattva stepped away, there was the King of the Heavens, followed by His hands holding the white cot, the gods of the Suyama realms followed the hands of the bare tail of the tibetan. The celestial beings held the emblem of the king as a pair of hia, protect and crown according to the Bodhisattva. It is the year of the treasure. Humans can not see these gods at this time, they can only see the emblems of the king.

According to the commentary, the events of the birth of Bodhisatta are meaningful and explained as follows: When born Bodhisattva, four natural disasters to receive this phenomenon is just that He will be attained Fourth form of meditation. Then came the next concubine, is the phenomenon of His great meditation. He stands on the ground as the phenomenon of the Lord acquired four vows. He walked seven steps is the phenomenon that he later acquired the Bodhi Tree and propagated Buddhism throughout the great land in that period. He was blessed by the gods, who later gained his liberation. There are five gods in the item of the Wheel of Change is the phenomenon that he later achieved five liberation. He said that this verse is the phenomenon he is no longer reincarnated.

In the commentary note that, due to the blessings of the last Bodhisattva, when he was born, there are seven persons born to him:

Yasmiśos pana samaye amhākawards bodhisatto lumbinīvane jāto tasmiānayeva samaye rāhulamātā devī ānando channo kāḷudāyī amacco kaṇḍako assarājā mahābodhirukkho catasso nidhikumbhiyo ca jātā, tattha eko gavutappamāṇo eko aḍḍhayojanappamāṇo eko tigāvutappamāṇo eko yojanappamāṇo ahosi. Satta Sahajātā is a honti. [15]

Princess Yasodharā Bhaddakaccana, the princess of King Suppabuddha and Queen Amitta, is also the mother of Rāhula, so it is called Rāhulamātā.

The four treasure chambers, each with a different name and size, each have diameters from one gāvuta, two gāvuta, three gāvuta and one yojana. When the gold is removed, it is back filled, as if it were not removed. The four treasures will not appear as normal, it only appears when the crown prince, become the Crown Prince; Also, when the prince left the monastery, these four vaults will naturally disappear.

In addition, in the commentary on the history of the Buddha, also recorded special events occurring and are interpreted as the foreshadowing in the future:

At the birth of the Bodhisattva, the ten thousand worlds of shaking are the signs that He will attain the highest quality (sabbaññū).

Thus, the good news Queen dowager birth Prince is spreading from all human beings to the gods. People greeting the two sides greeted the Queen and Crown Prince back to Kapilavatthu capital city with flowers in the sky. The delegation went to where the rain drops of flowers. The crowd followed, the happy trumpet of the king and the whole country. That same day the king commanded the people to celebrate the feast.

When Bodhisattva was born in the garden of Lumbini, Asita, also known as Kāadevila, was the great teacher of the king of Suddhodana who heard the echoes of the gods everywhere. See the gods joyfully praise, praise the grace of the Bodhisattva should inquire how to coast.

Kiṃ devasaṅgho atiriva kalyarūpo,

dussaṃ gahetvā ramayatha kiṃ paṭicca.

Why are they deva?

Again enthusiasm joy?

They hold their dances,

What is the cause? [16]

The gods reply as follows:

So bodhisatto ratanavaro atulyo,

manussaloks hitasukhatthāya must be;

Sakyāna gāme janapade lumbineyye,

tenamha tuṭṭhā atiriva kalyarūpā.

In Lumbini (Lhasa)

In the village of Shaka,

Born of Bodhisattva,

The dark win, irrational,

He was born, brought peace,

Happiness for man,

So we are glad,

The mind is very happy.

So sabbasattuttamo aggapuggalo,

narāsabho sabbapajānamuttamo;

Vattessati cakkamisivhaye vane,

nadaćva in the small balavā migābhibhū.

He is the ultimate being,

His great man wins,

The King of Man,

All beings are born;

He will transfer the Falun,

In the hermit forest,

Ringing the lion,

Vigilance of the animals. [17]

After hearing such an answer, Asita departed from the tenth heaven and went to the royal palace to meet King Suddhodana. Hearing of his beloved master, King Suddhodana was very welcoming and invited to sit in a solemn seat. Finished, the Taoist asked the king:

- Great king, heard that the queen of the newly king was born a royal male right?

- Bach, it is.

- Grandfather, or Prince is not where? Can you see me through?

The king commanded the make-up of the prince and the prince's son to pay homage to the teacher. When Prince Siddhartha was raised to reveal the Taoist, in the air, the gods held a white, exposed, fan to pay homage to the Bodhisattva, but all these events had no one. See, except the senior monk.

Anekasākhañca sahassamaṇḍalaṃ,

cattawed maru dhārayumantalikkhe;

Suvaṇnādṇḍā vītipatantis samarā,

after dissare cāmarachattagāhakā.

The gods hold the throne,

Put up in the middle of nowhere,

The tree has many branches,

There are thousands of passes.

They fan with barefoot,

There is gold canopy, fur,

But no one can see,

The lobster, bare. [18]

When the prince was brought in front of the man, the Prince's feet suddenly twirled up on the priest's bun, as lightning flashed through the clouds. Everyone was horrified because no one dared insult the venerable monk of the king. On the contrary, Asita stood up, left the seat and bowed respectfully to the Bodhisattva. [19] The king of Suddhodana witnessed such extraordinary events, and he also raised his hand and bowed to his son. [20] This is the first time the king knelt at the Bodhisattva feast.

Asita was a well-known master of the law, guessing numbers and knowing the past, so after examining the good deed and the beauty of the Prince's body, he thought become a Buddha or not?

Disclaimers from the pajjalantaṃ

tārāsabhaṃva nabhasigamaṃ visuddhaṃ;

Sūriyaṃ tapantaṃ saradarivabbhamuttaṃ,

ānandajāto vipulamalattha pītiṃ.

After seeing Crown Prince

Bright as fire tops,

Pure as Niu

Operation between nowhere,

Shining like the sun

Between the collection, the clouds,

Reflection of the heart

Great joy. [21]

And with wisdom knowing the future, the Taoist found that the prince would surely become the supreme patriarchal Buddha. The Taoist laughed in great joy.

Sambodhiyaggaṃ phusissatāyaṃ kumāro,

so dhammacakkaṃ paramavisuddhadassī;

Vattessatāyaṃ bahujanahitānukampī,

Vittharikassa bhavissati brahmacariyaṃ

This prince will testify

Supreme Bodhi fruit,

Will turn the dreaded wheels,

Seeing the ultimate winner,

Because of mercy,

For the happiness of many,

And life,

Widely propagated. [22]

Also referring to the General of the Bodhisattva, the text records the verses of a Brahmin named Sela praised and praised him as follows:

Paripuṇṇakāyo Suruci

Sarda Cardu;

Suvaṇṇavaṇṇosi bhagavā

Susukkadāṭhosi vīriyavā.

The body is bright enough,

Skilled and beautiful,

The brilliant gold,

Smooth, smooth, clean teeth.

Narassa hi sujātassa

Ye bhavanti viyañjanā;

Sabbe te tava kāyasmiṃ

Mahāpurisalakkhaṇā.

For the smart,

Well-known generals,

It is on His body,

All great generals.

Pasannanetto sumukho

Brahā uju patāpavā;

Majjhe samaṇasaṅghassa

Gdiccova virocasi

Bright eyes, full face,

Balance, straight, flawless,

Between them,

He is as dazzling as the sun. [23]

Thus, we see a lot of miraculous signs and miracles when a great man born. If they choose to be at home, they will become the Holy Wheel of Truth, reigning over all four galaxies with wealthy prosperity, rich material possessions, powerful generals and glorious glory that the world desire; But they have renounced the five qualities of happiness in order to find the noble happiness and the endless suffering of all living beings, ie, the path of renunciation, as a moral model for the world. , a master of heaven, the supreme supreme among the world. So their appearance is a bright spot for humanity to follow, to escape suffering in the six paths. Therefore, it is fortunate and fortunate to meet the Three Jewels, and so today we have the opportunity to welcome a great man,

On the occasion of the Vesak celebration this year, we will take a good look at the good and strange signs of the Bodhisattva at birth in the human world. I think it is also a meaningful teaching that the Buddha preached to all of us about the spirit of life of the Buddha, both the monastic life and home, in this life: Always live for peace, for the happiness of the majority; If you can not do that then do not cause nuisance, harm to yourself, others, community, society and ecological environment.

Thus, we effort, diligent purity of mind, good direction and direction, accumulate good karma so that one day can master the rebirth, active in samsara rebirth full of life uncertainty, to complete on the path of self-awareness and sense.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/7/2018.
