7. ATTORNEY - SATTHA DEVA MANUSSANAM

Teacher of gods and human beings. 
He guides the gods and the human beings to gain benefits 
in the present, in the future, and ultimately gain liberation

Nirvana [i]

In Pali, the words  Acariya  and  Sattha  mean both Teacher or Master. However, according to Venerable Sayagi U Kyaw Htut, the word Sattha used here should not be understood in the sense of merely a teacher, but should be understood, complete, and more meaningful, as recorded in the Bible School, as a the Political Tri (Samma sambuddha Sattha), meaning a teacher knows all he can know. [ii]  Deva  means gods. Manussanam is human. In the six realms of reincarnation, gods and human beings are beings who have accumulated many merits, have good lives and are more likely to practice liberation. The gods are beings, born of good karma, who have surpassed and surpassed the realm of being human, living in the happy realm that the naked eyes of our flesh cannot be seen. However, they still have not escaped samsara. In Buddhism, the gods have nothing to do with the gods in ancient legends.

I. THE BUDDHISM AND THE PEOPLE OF BUDDHISM ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF FRANCE:

The Buddha is the teacher of devas and human beings because he teaches all the gods and human beings the dharma that gives 3 benefits:

1. The benefits and peace of the present life (Ditthadhammikattha)

2. The benefits and peace of life in the future (Samparayikattha)

3. The noble benefit and peace of Nirvana, according to the wisdom of each living being.

A. The Benefits And Peace In The Current Life (Ditthadhammikattha):

World Religion teaches four dharmas to bring about benefits and peace in the present life:

1. Diligent and diligent to do everyday life with righteous and sinless careers (Utthana samada),  which are honest jobs, do not torment you, do not suffer people, do not suffer me and people. The occupations are sinful trade (Satthavanijja), human or animal trade (Sattavanijja), the profession of killing animals for meat (Mamsavanjja), alcohol trading and intoxicating substances (Majjavanijja), selling poison (Visavanijja). They should diligently work diligently in that profession, have the intellectual expertise in the profession to create more wealth for themselves.

b. Knowing to preserve wealth (Arakkha sampada):  It is recommended to preserve the property that has been made so as not to wear and tear due to various causes such as fire, flooded water, swept away, robbery, playing, flags silver etc ..

c. You should be close to the good or the Kalyanamittata  to learn the good dhammas and evil deeds and follow their good example. Noble Truths are people with true faith; there are enough virtues; having multicultural knowledge, learning a lot; often happy in giving; There are wise minds who understand the dharma.

d. Should spend money on a balanced way , depending on what you have earned, do not waste (Samajivita).

2. The benefits and peace in future lives:

There are 4 benefits and peace in a future life:

a. There is complete faith (Saddha sampada): Complete faith is faith in the place of 9 Buddha's grace, 6 gifts of Dharma, and 9 virtues of Sangha. Believe the karma and the result of full karma, that is, "kusala kamma for peacefulness and karma for suffering and suffering". In addition, do not believe a person has power for peaceful fruits or suffering for them.

b. There are pure virtues  (Sila sampada): Buddhists are monks or laymen who have pure virtues and fulfill their virtues.

- The male or female layperson has five precepts, the precepts.

- The rank of novice has 10 precepts, 10 sermons, 10 punishments, 75 things of study, 14 practices ...

- The Bhikkhu Bhikkhu has 227 precepts, 14 dharmas, the full world has 91.805.036,000 precepts.

c. There is full  generosity (Caga sampada): Buddhists have a mind from sacrifices, bringing their money to work blessed to the monks and the poor, sick, etc., depending on their abilities. have the intention of pure goodness rejoicing before giving alms, rejoicing when giving alms, rejoicing after giving alms.

Buddhists should not have the mind to stingy in their possessions and knowledge, having little, almsgiving, many giving alms according to their abilities, depending on the life expectant. The owner should have the right reflection that: For the wealth of money is not good and good, but the fruit of good and righteousness belongs to all. If I do not know how to make a blessing for almsgiving, over time, that wealth will also perish, cannot last long; If we know that giving the wealth to alms, to turn into a blessing that is certainly of our own, will give the treasure a peaceful life for many lifetimes, long-term sustainability. Moreover, the opportunity to do good deeds and generosity is only this person in the Nam Thien Bo Chau (Earth we live in) this alone, beings in other realms are difficult or have no opportunity to do good deeds. So we should not miss that alms opportunity.

d. Full enough wisdom  (Panna sampadā): he should have good intelligence in any legal case. When giving alms, the owner should have great kindness and mind with wisdom while giving alms. In the same way, practitioners should have great kindness and mindfulness when keeping the precepts, when conducting meditation (Samatha), when meditating on wisdom (Vipassana) ä.

Wisdom for the full is the wisdom of insight meditation in the three worlds, clearly knowing the birth, the cessation of nama and rupa; clearly, knowing the state of impermanence, the state of suffering, the selfless state of nama and rupa, leading to the realization of the truth of the Four Noble Truths.

Wisdom round enough is the wisdom of insight meditation, which is 4 Saints of Wisdom, born in 4 Saints of Mind and 4 Saints of Wisdom born in 4 Saints of Mind, with Nirvana as an object. practitioners become saints.

Those who practice all four things above are those who have completed the path to the future; until the disintegration of these five aggregates (at death) will go easily without obstacles.

3. The noble welfare benefits Nirvana :

The Buddha has two special types of wisdom:

- Wisdom clearly knows the high and low conditions of each being.

- Wisdom clearly knows clearly the negativity of each of the sentient beings.

These two types of wisdom are only available in the omniscient Buddha, and the Holy Spirit is absolutely impossible to have these two kinds of wisdom. So, whenever The Sun preaches the world of sentient beings, he contemplates the predestination of those beings. Any sentient being with less grace, more afflictions, He teaches about the current and future benefits. Any sentient being is good and graceful, he teaches about the noble benefit of Nirvana. Any sentient being who has ever created the Three Lives of many lifetimes, many past lives, has met the Buddhas in the past who have already signed up and in this present life, meeting the Buddha, he teaches the teachings with the base. the body and the grace of those beings. After listening to The Religion, the sermon is complete, there are the number of sentient beings realizing the truth of the four noble truths, attaining the Entering the Noble Path - Entering the Holy Fruit, becoming the Holy Entering; there is a number of attainments to the Best of the Holy Path - Best of the Holy Fruit, becoming the First Holy One; there is a number of attainments to the Divine Realm - The fruit of the Eucharist becomes the Immortal Saint; some attained to the Arhats of the Saints - the Arhat became the Holy Arhat.

The attainment of the Saints - This result depends on the five senses and the Three la Suite, especially the wisdom of the Three Lands of each being. These four saints have attained the benefit, the noble peace of Nirvana.

II. LEARNING LEAD LEADERS:

In the Maha Niddesa series there is the prize of the word "Teacher" (Satthu) as follows:  "The Buddha is the teacher, because he is the professional leader who leads the caravan through the remote roads full of danger. harmless, come home or go to a predetermined place safely. The remote road is full of harmful dangers:

1. Harmful because of robbery (Corakantara).

2. Dangerous for evil beasts (Balakantara).

3. Dangerous because there is no drinking water (Nirudakakantara).

4. Dangerous for non-human (Amanussakantara).

5. Dangerous because there is no real thing (Appabhakkhakantara). " [Iii]

Likewise, the celestial sphinx has guided sentient beings through the 13 distant roads (kantara) with the following suffering and losses:

1. The dangerous path of birth (Jati kantara)

2. The dangerous path of old age (Jara kantara)

3. Dangerous path of sickness (Byadhi kantara)

4. Dangerous path of death (Marana kantara)

5. Suffering for the agony of suffering (Dukkha dukkha)

6. Suffering from sadness and sadness (Soka)

7. Suffering from crying and crying (Parideva)

8. Sorrowful suffering (Domanassa)

9. Suffering from discomfort, anger (Upasa)

10. Harmful by knowledge (Ditthi)

11. Harmful because of distraction (Uddhacca)

12. Harmful due to doubts (Vicikiccha)

13. Harmful because of the forbidden world, accepting sacrifices to worship gods, gods of fire, etc. (Silabbatta paramasa)

The Buddha used 30 dharmas of Ba La Matana to make a mighty elephant cutting board or a solid vehicle, to overcome the 13 distant pathways full of miserable suffering above, to the place of immortality immortality is Nirvana. After overcoming himself, He compassionately taught the beings to use those precious means and guided sentient beings through distant paths filled with suffering, aging, sickness, death ... to the place peaceful like him. Or He used 30 dharmas to create a boat, to overcome misery by himself and to be reborn, then He used that boat to bring sentient beings to the senses  "Ye te kappasatasahassa dhamma sutva pannaya passanti ".

Beings who have practiced the three-la-dharma dharma are 100 thousand great and then blessed, are listening to the Buddha's Dharma, making the arising of wisdom understand his teachings, clearly seeing the Four Noble Truths, destroying defilements. craving in body and mind with wisdom Arhat; These beings are passed away from the distance with many misery for being born, which means that there is no longer life in the mother's fetus as the year of teacher Kieu Tran Nhu and Mr. Yasakola with his friend.

According to "Related Causes" is often called "The Second Noble Truth", the compounded dharmas are due to causes that arise, when the cause dies off, then the dhammas also die. Birth (Jati) is the cause of old age, death (Jara, Maranam) when birth is destroyed, he dies. Correct with the Buddhist phrase  "Jatinirodha jara maranam soka paridevadukkha domanassupayasa nirujjhanti": When birth passes away, the old death, mourning, mourning, suffering, sorrow, uneasiness also destroy all.

Therefore, any saint who is no longer reborn, that level no longer has the five aggregates; without the five aggregates, there is no old age, pain, death, and other agony in the future. When compounded elements are eliminated, we can say that the saint passed away from these 13 avenues.

The following are some examples of the teachings of The Ton and the gods and humans:

Example 1: Before the Buddha's time, many people wanted to know "What is good (Mangala)?" "What is the point of bringing happiness?" Some people believe superstition that when we wake up in the morning, if we see something or hear something, we will be happy and happy. But they still cannot agree with each other, what will bring the highest happiness. The debate was tough and finally brought to heaven for the gods to solve. The gods still cannot solve this problem satisfactorily. So one night, a god came to the Buddha and invited him to preach on the signs that bring happiness and happiness. The Buddha preached to the gods about 38 things that bring great happiness, beginning with staying away from the wicked and ending with attaining pure and self-centered mind, in which he emphasizes "[iv]

Example 2: Xa Loi Phat's mother is a Brahmin noble woman. She only worshiped the Brahmin gods in the heavenly realm of Pham Thien. Before he passed away, he went to visit his mother. During his stay with his mother, the gods and the gods came to pay homage at night. When his mother saw that, he asked him if it was the gods and the gods. She was amazed and admiring: "My son is a disciple of the Buddha and is now revered by the gods and Pham!" Since then, she fully believes and admires the Buddha and then refuge with him. If the gods and Pham Thien honor him, he will be more revered by the Buddha. [v]

The Buddha preached the world of beings, not only mankind, gods, and celestial beings to gain the benefits, evolution, and long-term peacefulness, but also the animals of the world, which also benefited and evolved. , long-term peace. Because although it is an animal in the present life, but when you hear the dharma of the Blessed One and create a good grace, and through that grace, in the next two or three future lives, you will attain enlightenment. One more thing, these kinds of animals, in past lives, when doing people, when doing heaven, etc., have gathered many virtues, until the present life, though it has been repaid due to bad karma, has created the body of doing. animal beings but good conditions still exist until this life blessed life is met the Buddha's sacrifice.

As the story of  Mandukadevaputta (the God of Frogs)  in the Khuddanikaya Sutta, the Vimanavatthu, is summarized as follows:

At one time, the Blessed One dwelled on the shore of Lake Gaggara to lecture the people in Campa, and a frog recognized a sound in his words, jumping to the lake and listening to the preaching of the Buddha, with faith in Him.

At that time, a cowherd stood behind him listening to the dharma, the sharp, pointed handle of the tree touching the head of the frog was listening to the voice of the Buddha with pure faith, the frog died right then. After death, due to good karma (listening to the teachings of the Blessed One), frogs immediately turned into a male god in the Three Realms of the Three Realms (there is a book written in Heavenly Land) in a castle by magnificent magnificent gold, wide by 12 weeks (20km), there are celestial maidens. As I woke up after a long sleep, when I saw the magnificent temple and the celestial god surrounded, the male god was surprised to ask:  "What good thing did I do that was good?" After trying to find in his mind, the male god remembered that the good thing he did was nothing more than when he was a frog on the bank of Lake Gaggara, the frog was aware of an hour in the Buddha's sermon. . Looking down at the world of sentient beings, the celestial god clearly sees that Buddha is still teaching at the edge of Lake Gaggara. He decided to come down to the Buddha, and bring with him a golden castle and a celestial god, with a bright aura to pay homage to the feet of the Buddha.

The Buddha knows, but he wants to show his disciples the treasure of listening to the dharma, he asks:  "Who is this male god, who has a beautiful body, shining radiance radiating in every direction, there are many dreadful forces, many servant gods come here to pay homage at the feet of Tathagata? " (Ko me vandati padani, iddhiya yasasa jalam.  Abhikkantena vannena, Sabba obhasayam disa).

The gods of white frogs:  "Dear Lord Buddha! I am Maduka, new past life, is a small frog born and lives in the water at this lake, I jump to the lake listening to your dharma, it is here. Cowherd stood listening to the French unintentionally plugged the tree to touch my head, causing me to die. " (Maduko'ham, pure asim, udake varigocaro.  Tava dhammam sunantassa, avadhi vacchapalako ...)

"Respect for the Buddha, only for a moment, due to the pure faith in the sermon of the Buddha, after death due to the good karma, it turns into heaven, as He sees, I have a body. beautiful pictures, radiant light shining everywhere, I enjoy peace, there are many forces and many goddesses.

Dear Buddha Gotama! Those sentient beings who have a long time to hear his dharma, those beings are soon attained the Holy Path - the Eucharist and attain Nirvana. "

After that, the Buddha contemplated that the disciples had pure faith, so he gave a good sermon, the male god Manduka and 84,000 sentient beings including gods and human beings all realized the truth of the Four Noble Truths. , attaining the Entering the Way of the Holy Path - The fruit of the Sacred Treasure becomes the Saint of the Archives (Tu Da Hoan). [vi]

The goddess Manduka and the gods and goddesses respectfully bowed to the Blessed One and the Venerable Monks increased their permission to heaven.

Due to the grace of virtue to help gods, celestial beings and human beings overcome birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, mourning, pain, craving, anger, confusion, conceit, wrong views and bad karma Other good, to finally peace to the place of liberation, so the Buddha has the title of Heavenly Master - Sattha Deva Manussanam. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/12/2018.
