18. Sutra 
(Madhupindika sutta)

---

I heard this:

At one time, the Blessed One lived among the Sakka clans, in Kapilavatthu, in the Nigrodharama Garden.

Then in the morning, embalmed, holding the bowl to Kapilavatthu to beg for alms. After begging in Kapilavatthu, when the meal was finished, on the way back alms, the Sun went to Dai Lam for lunch.After entering Dai Lam forest, he sits for lunch under beluvalatthika tree.

There is a Dandapani Sakka (Sakyamuni), pulling all around, go to the forest, go to the forest in Da Lam, go deep into the forest, to Beluvalatthika where the Exalted, when it comes to say The affirmation of friendship, and stand on one side, leaning on a stick, standing on one side. Sakka's hand said to the Buddha: "What is the opinion of Sa-object, preaching what?"

- "The sage, according to my teaching, in the world with the gods, Mara and Brahma, with the Sa-ard, Brahmins, gods and humans, no one argues. In life, thoughts will not haunt the brahmin living without sexual desire, with no doubt hesitating, with too much repentance, no craving for the right and non-existent. , so is my view, so is my teaching.

When he heard that, Sakka's shaking hand shook his head, licking his tongue, his forehead rising three lines of wrinkles, the sticks and then go.

Then the Blessed One in the afternoon from the Pure Land Meditation stood up, went to the garden Nigrodha, when finished, sit on the prepared place. After sitting, the Blessed One calls the rate-

- Monks, here, I in the morning, embrace y, holding the bowl to the Kapilavatthu to beg for alms. After begging for food in Kapilavatthu, we went back to the village to go to Dai Lam for lunch. After entering Dai Lam forest, I sit for lunch under the beluvalatthika tree. Sakka's hand sticks to the whole world, go to the forest, go to the forest in Da Lam, go to the forest, come to Beluvalatthika where I stay, to say the friendly questions, and stood on one side, leaning on a stick. Standing on one side, Sakka's hand sticks to me as follows: "What is Sa-subject, what do you say?" Bhikkhus, said this, I answered Sakka's hand sticks: "The sage, as I teach in the world with the gods, Mara, and Brahma, with the Satan, subjects, gods and humans, no one in the world. The thought will not haunt the brahmins living without sexually abstinence, no doubt hesitated, with all too repulsed, there is no craving for possession and non-possession. This is my viewpoint, so is my teaching. "When he heard that, Sakka's shaking hand shook his head, licking his tongue, his forehead rising three wrinkles, his sticks on his shoulders.

Upon hearing this, a bhikkhu-praet:

"But the Blessed One, what is the teaching that the Blessed One, in the world with the gods, Mara and Brahma, with the Sa-subjects, Brahmins, gods and humans, no paintings Who in the world? The thought will not haunt the Blessed One, who has lived without sexual desire, with no doubt hesitated, with too much repentance, no craving for the right and non-existent.

- Monks, due to any conditions, some obsessive comments haunt a person. If there is nothing here worthy of rejoicing, worthy of rejoicing, worthy of grasp, such times are endless pursuits, endless courts, clever secrets, the end of the pursuit of self, the end part of the self, the end of ignorance, the end of the stick, accept, fight, avoid war, dissent, . It is here, these evil, unwholesome things are destroyed, no longer dead.

The Buddha preached so. After saying so, he rose from the seat to enter the monastery.

After the Blessed One's passing, the Bhikkhus think: "Hien, the Blessed One after this brief statement to us, does not explain the meaning of meaning, from sitting up and went to the monastery: "Monks, due to any conditions ... no longer dead." Now anyone can explain the meaning of the lecture was briefly said, and do not explain clearly the meaning ". Then the monks thought, "Now Mahakaccana (Great Caesar) is the exalted monk praised and respected peers are respected Mahakaccana Mahayana can explain. The significance of this teaching is briefly explained by the Blessed One, and does not clearly explain the meaning. So let's go to the Venerable Mahakaccana who, after his arrival, will ask Mahakaccana the meaning. "

Then the monks came to the Mahakaccana Venerable Mahakaccana, after arriving, saying the blessings, asking for a courtesy call on Mahakaccana and sitting down. After sitting down, these monks told Mahakaccana:

- "The sage, the Blessed One, after speaking this brief statement and not clearly explaining the meaning, from the sitting up and went to the monastery:" Monk, What's left over? "

Dear Mahakaccana, when the Blessed One went away, we thought: "Hien, the Blessed One after giving this brief teaching to us ... went to the Vihara:" By any human What can not explain the meaning of the teaching that the Buddha said briefly ... do not explain clearly the meaning? " Mahakaccana Sensei, then we think: "Now, Mahakaccana is praised by the Blessed One and honored by his honored peers. Mahakaccana can explain the meaning of the teachings to the Buddha. Let's go briefly and clearly explain the meaning. So let's go to Mahakaccana, where, after we arrive, we ask Mahakaccana, "Mahakaccana."

Chu Hien, as well as one who loves the core of the tree, searches the core of the tree, goes all the way to the core of the tree, to a large tree, upright and with a tree. This person ignores the root, bypassing the trunk, thinking that the root must be found in the branch. So is the action of the emperors, standing in front of the Blessed One, you forsake the Blessed One, thinking to ask me about this meaning. Lord Hien, the Blessed One knows what to know, what to see, He has become the eyes, become the mind, become the Dharma, become Brahma, the speaker, speaker, He brings the goal, the gift to immortality, the French Master, Tathagata. You must ask this time of the Buddha. What the Buddha explained to you, you like life expectancy.

- Sage Mahakaccana, sure bhikkhu know what to know, what to see, He has become an eye, become a position, become the Dharma, become Brahma, the fake , the speaker, the target, the immortal, the French Master, the Tathagata. We have to ask this time of the Buddha. What the Exalted explained to us, we will like life expectancy. But Venerable Mahakaccana was praised by the bhikkhu, respected by his peers. Mahakaccana may well explain the meaning of the teachings that the bhikkhu speaks briefly and does not clearly explain the meaning. Mahakaccana please explain nothing disrespectful.

- So Hien listen and clever, I will lecture.

- Yes, sage.

They rate Mahatma-monk Mahatana. The Mahakaccana is as follows:

- Hanh, the Blessed One briefly said this ... and went to the monastery: "Monks, whatever for the cause of coast ... nothing left over." Chu Hien, with the teachings that the Buddha said briefly, and does not clearly explain the meaning. I fully understand the meaning as follows:

Chu Hien, due to the eyes and rúpa, eye consciousness arises. The meeting of these three is touching.Due to feeling condition. What have felt at the time thought, what have thought of the time, can not think of what is thought. Because of this, some obscurant thoughts haunt a person, with regard to material things perceived by the eye, past, present, and future.

Hanh, because of the ears and the sounds, the ear, arising from the nostrils and incense, rise up, by tongue and tongue, arise, by the body and touch, up; By the mind and the law, consciousness arises.The meeting of these three is touching. Due to feeling, there should be sensations. What have felt at the time? What have imagined the time. What has hindered thinking? For this reason, some observations haunt a person, for the consciousness, the past, the future, and the present.

This incident occurs: when there are eyes, when there are rupas, when there is awareness, the necessity of exposure is revealed. This event occurs when the necessity of the necessity of life is manifested.This event occurs: When is the necessity of the eventual necessity of manifestation manifested? This event occurs: when there is the contingency of thought, the necessity of reflection is revealed. This event occurs: when there is the necessity of the contemplation of the impermanence of the observation, some of the false discourses are revealed.

This event occurs: when there are ears, when there are sounds, when there is auditory ... This event occurs: when there are nostrils, when there are incense, when there is the ratio .. This event occurs, when there are tongues, when are you, when is consciousness ... This event occurs: when there are bodies, when there are contacts, when there are body. This event occurs: whenever there is an intention, when there are dhammas, when there is consciousness, the necessity of exposure is revealed.

On this Hanh, this event does not occur: when there is no eye, when there are no rúpas, when there is no awareness, the contemplation of exposure is manifested. This event does not occur: when there is no necessity of contact, the necessity of life is manifested. This event does not occur: when there is no necessity of life, the contemplation of thought is manifested. This event does not occur: when there is no necessity of thought, the testimony of the meditator is revealed. This event does not happen: when there is no necessity of reflection, the necessity of the observation of some of the illusions is revealed.

Chu Hien, this event does not happen: when there is no ear, when there are no voices ... when there is no nose, when there are no incense ... when there is no tongue, when there is no you ... when there is no body, when there are no contact ... This event does not happen: when not meant, when there are no legal, when there is no sense, The exposure is revealed ...

Hanh, bhikkhu, after speaking briefly ... has entered the monastery: "Monks, by any causal conditions ... not overwhelmed." Hsien-hsiu, for the brief statement of the Buddha, and the meaning is not widely explained, I have understood such a broad meaning. If you want, go to the Blessed One, after this, ask this meaning. How can the answer, like life expectancy.

Then these monks, happy, according to the greetings of Mahakaccana said, from the seat up, go to the Exalted, after coming to worship Him and sit down. After sitting down on one side,

- The Blessed One, the Buddha said this briefly for us ... have entered the monastery. "Monks, because of any conditions ... no longer dead." When the Blessed One went away, we thought, "Nu Hien, the Blessed One after telling us this brief statement, did not explain the meaning widely, from the seat and stood up. Go to the monastery: "Monks, by any of the conditions, some thoughtful obsession haunted a person, if there is nothing worth rejoicing, worthy of welcome, grave, such a time is the end of the course, the end of the course, the end of the course, the end of the course, The end of the stick, accept, fight, avoid the war, dissent, opposition, lyric, hope language. It is here that these evil and unwholesome things are destroyed, no longer wither. "Now one can explain the meaning of this teaching broadly stated by the Blessed One briefly and without explanation. meaningful? " Lord Buddha, and we think: "Now there are Sun worship Mahakaccana is praised by the Bhagavan and the homosexual behavior is respectful.Maylor Mahakaccana can widely explain the meaning of this teaching. The Blessed One speaks briefly and does not clearly explain the meaning. So let's go to the Venerable Mahakaccana who, after coming, will ask Mahakaccana the meaning. " Lord Buddha, then we go to the Mahakaccana, where, after we arrived, we asked Mahakaccana the meaning of this. Lord Mahakaccana has explained the meaning to us with these methods,

Bhikkhus, Mahakaccana is a wise man. Bhikkhu, Mahakaccana is the level of wisdom. Bhikkhus, if you ask me this meaning, I also answer as Mahakaccana answered. So that is the meaning of the teachings, so life expectancy.

When I heard that, Ananda Buddha:

- Lord, as a hungry and tired people, find a piece of honey, each piece is tasted, each piece is enjoying the sweetest homemade. Also, bhikkhu-bhikkhu has special knowledge, every part of reflection to this sense of the method with wisdom, for each part he is enjoying the joy, enjoy the comfort of the mind. location. Lord, what is this name called?

Therefore, this Ananda, this method is called the secret (secret). Be like life expectancy!

The Buddha preached so. Venerable Ananda blesses, the teachings of the Buddha. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/11/2018.
