Venerable S giảvali is the daughter of the daughter of Suppavasa, often brought to her by numerous people. To try to know the blessing of the princess Suppavasa, people brought seeds to ask her to touch. The name of the teacher means: quenching hot, anxious, bringing happiness to all beings.

The son of a mother of extraordinary goodness

The seeds were touched by the mother of the false religion and brought back to cultivate. The harvest results were extraordinary: hundreds of thousands of times! Therefore, when the harvest was completed, the people poured it into the warehouse, then invited the princess Suppavasa to touch the store door, the rice was poured in little, but it was still full of warehouses. If the hand of Suppavasa princess touches the warehouse, no matter how much rice is removed, the rice warehouse will not diminish. When cooking rice to distribute to everyone, if the princess Suppavasa touches the rim of the pot with rice, the rice will be distributed to many people, still enough, the rice will not remain in the pot, until the princess Suppavasa removed his hand from the rim of the rice cooker.

Everyone saw the extraordinary blessing of the princess Suppavasa while she was pregnant with Venerable Sīvali. In fact, the princess Suppavasa was the only one affected by the fruit of the unborn child: Venerable Sīvali was in his mother's womb.

Sīvali is in the womb 7 years and seven days

Usually after conceiving, about nine or ten months, the mother gives birth. But when Princess Suppavasa became pregnant with Venerable Sīvali, it was the 10th month, the 11th month, and then one year had not yet been born. Even though everyone in the royal family and the people of Koliya were anxiously waiting for the birth of the extraordinary child.

Everyone in the royal family and the people of Koliya were anxiously waiting for the birth of the extraordinary child.

Days go on, in anticipation of everyone's temper. Day after day, month after month of the second year has passed, but the extraordinary child in the belly of the Suppavasa princess has not yet been born. Just like that for the third year, already ... Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, until the seventh year has passed, but people still haven't seen the Suppavasa princess giving birth. What an incredible thing, never heard, never seen it before! Especially the fetus is in her womb for so long, and still does not make her a bit of a bother to the Suppavasa princess, the princess still lives happily and naturally and the blessed goodness grows every day.

Want to admire the Buddha before giving birth

Princess Suppavasa, who has been pregnant for seven years, is still in peace, but moving on to the next seven days, she suffers from extreme suffering from her fetus. Which is a close-up of women, have faith in clean place in the Three Jewels, the Princess Suppavasa wants to worship Buddha before dying. With such earnest desire, she expressed to the Mahāli prince:

- My wife, please because of the concubine and the baby in the abdomen, and go to the Buddha and the Venerable Monks to increase here for the cards to be worshiped and made offerings.

- Being anxious for the concubine's pregnancy time so long, along with the phenomenal phenomena that everyone sees in the Princess of Suppavasa, listening to the concubine's request, Prince Mahali immediately went to the Buddha. according to the wishes of the lady.

By the label, the Buddha saw clearly the bad karmic retribution of the fetus and the mother was satisfied. He taught the blessing to the Suppavasa princess and her unborn child:

"Sukhinī vata hotu Suppavasa, Koliyadhitaya sukhai arogaArogam puttam vāyatu"

Temporarily translate:

"The Princess of Suppavasa of Koliya. Getting healthy and giving birth to a healthy child".

When the Blessed Lord finished, at the palace, Princess Suppavasa gave birth to his son as easily as the water from the jar came out, before Prince Mahāli returned. Princess Suppavasa saw the handsome, handsome son, good and good, and was extremely happy.

The birth of the child caused the royal family as well as the people of Koliya to extinguish all the fervor of fear for the Suppavasa princess and the prince, bringing a peaceful coolness to all, so gaining the name "Sīvali" (Cool, happy).

On the way back to the palace to see everyone happy and happy, Prince Mahāli knew that the good had come to the wife of Suppavasa the wife and her child. Arriving at the palace, he immediately went to visit his wife and recounted the blessings of the Buddha to the Suppavasa princess and her son, the Suppavasa princess, who had a clear faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. When I was extremely happy, I saw the new great child born, and I met my husband:

- Please allow me to invite the Buddha with 500 monks to rise, tomorrow to the palace for a seven-day charity card called "Vayamangala" (happy birth).

The newly born S tửvali was born unusually fast, walking, standing, sitting, lying ... knowing how to eat, talk and have an extraordinary knowledge!

The Buddha and the Venerable Monks came to the palace of the Suppavasa princess and Prince Mahāli attended the ceremony of blessing "Happiness to give birth", for 7 days.

By the 7th day, the Buddha taught the Venerable Sariputta to teach the sermon. The Venerable Sariputtha sermons the sermon on suffering, the rebirth is suffering. Prince Sīvali listened and understood very deeply about suffering, because he himself suffered in his mother's womb for 7 years and 7 days: that's what he went through.

Prince Sīvali listened and understood very deeply about suffering, because he himself suffered in his mother's womb for 7 years and 7 days: that's what he went through.

At that time, the Venerable Sariputta asked the prince that:

- Hey son, I am in the womb for 7 years and 7 days, I have felt a lot of suffering, right?

- Dear Mr. Dai Duc, I have felt much suffering!

- So do you want to leave home to liberate suffering or not?

- Dear Sir, if your parents allow you, I will leave home.

Suppavasa princess saw her son talking to the Venerable Sariputta, in his heart of great joy, wanting to know what his son is saying to the Venerable Sariputta. Princess Suppavasa came to near the Venerable Lord, then said:

- Bach the Venerable Master, what is the son of the disciple talking to Him?

The Venerable Sariputta reported that:

- Prince Sīvali said: I have suffered so much suffering while I was still in my mother's womb, if my parents allow me, I will leave home to free my suffering. ”

After listening to the princess Suppavasa was extremely happy and said:

- Dear Bach Duc Venerable, Sadhu! Sadhu! Fresh instead! Fresh instead! I respect You compassionately, the disciples' children are ordained.

- The Venerable Sariputta led Sīvali to the temple. He taught the Sīvali karmic about the basic meditation topic " Five bodies in the body " (hair, hair, nails, teeth, skin) He also taught the Sīvali karma to make clear meditation, knowing well the suffering, but Sīvali has been feeling for 7 odd years and 7 days in his womb, and S tửvali is fully aware of the purpose of renunciation to liberate from the suffering of rebirth.

Sīvali was ordained to Sadi and became enlightened in the ordination ceremony

Mr. Sīvali, after teaching the teacher's teachings, was the Great Venerable Sariputta, and he was awarded the Venerable Moggallāna by the Venerable Moggallāna. While shaving, Sīvali is carrying out basic meditation, the five forms are in the body, and the meditation of the insight of the rebirth of nama and rupa is clearly realized.

When Venerable Moggallana had just placed a hair razor, Sīvali's disciples immediately realized the truth of the four noble truths, attained the sacred save, entered the holy fruits.

First hair shave, Sīvali karmic realizes the truth of the four noble truths, attaining the most sacred future, The best of the future. The second hair shave, the Sīvali karma realizes the truth of the four noble truths, attaining the realization of the noble path, The fruit of the future.

Shave the hair just now, at the same time the death of Sīvalich realizes the truth of the four noble truths, attaining the holy Arahán, Arahán holy fruit, becoming the supreme and noble Arahan saint in Buddhism.

Since the Venerable Sīvali ordained as a monk, every day not only are the men close to the male and near-female women taking 4 items: clothes, food, shelter, medicine to treat sickness and offer to Venerable Dai Duc and Bhikkhu Khưu Sang, increasingly full and abundant, has never been before.

Sīvali's evil karma has to pay

One day the bhikkhu group was sitting and discussing the Venerable Sīvali, the Great Tri. He witnessed the entry of Saints into Saint Arahan during the time of shaving. He was still a Great Phuoc, since he became a monk, four items had arisen, not only to the Venerable Sīvali, but also to all the monks and nuns in full and abundance. but never before.

So, what kind of evil result does he have to be in the womb for seven years and seven days?

At that time, the Buddha had just come and asked:

-This Bhikkhu khưu, the children are discussing what is it?

The group of Bhikkhu Bhikkhu, the Exalted Buddha, they are discussing the Great Venerable Sīvali, the Blessed One taught that:

-This Chu Bhikkhu, Sīvali suffer due to evil karma has created in past lives.

In the past, Sīvali's previous life was the Crown Prince of the king who ruled in the city of Baranasi. When the king died, the prince was crowned king. At that time, there was a king of a neighboring country trying to draw troops to capture Baranasi city. On the way to advance, this king set up camp for soldiers to stay overnight.

The king was in the Baranasi citadel, or he had been discussing with the Queen Mother, trying to prevent the invading army, then bringing troops to surround the four barracks doors for seven days and nights to prevent anyone from going in and out.

At that time, the One-Sealed Buddhas were staying at Migadayavihara temple to teach about good dhammas, evil dhammas, to advise people not to cause evil karma, but to try to create good karma. The king was in the city of Baranasi, after hearing the French understand the karma of good and bad karma, he immediately commanded the opening of the four gates of the enemy barracks, letting the neighboring King and the soldiers escape.

Due to the evil result of the siege of the camp during 7 days that night, the King had succeeded in Baranasi after dying of hell, suffering for a long time. Now to this present life, reincarnated into the heart of the Princess Suppavasa, the incarnation of the Queen Mother Queen in her previous life, has agreed with the Children siege the enemy camp. Because the fruits of the negative karma in the past were left over, it caused the Venerable Sīvali and the Suppavasa princess to suffer for 7 years and 7 days.

The strength of Sīvali's blessing force 

Venerable Sīvali is 20 years old. He was ordained as a Bhikkhu, becoming a Bhikkhu, and four more items were more abundant to the Bhikkhu Khưu Sangha. Every time the monks and nuns go to the island, they must travel on the road through remote, sparsely populated areas, but if there is Lord Dai S Đứcvali accompanying them, then there will be 4 items, which will be full. up to Chu Bhikkhu Sangha, due to the dignity of the blessing of the Venerable Sīvali, the gods have turned into villages, towns and densely populated people to offer offerings of clothing, food, shelter and medicine to cure illness to the monks and nuns. When the monks and nuns passed away from that place, the village and the city immediately disappeared.

The monks should follow the long road of 30 due to the week. To know clearly the merit of S thiệnvali

At one time, the Buddha and the Bhikkhu and the Bhikkhu Sangha expanded to the forest, the residence of Venerable Revata. When the Buddha and the Venerable Bhikkhu Bhikkhu Sangha go to the road with a turn. The Venerable Ananda told the Buddha that:

- Dear Bach Duc The Blessed One, there are two paths, which path The Buddha should take in these two paths:

- A long road of 30 due to the week, full of dangers and many inhuman, no qifu gangui and shelter.

- A 60-week-long road, safe, because there are villages, accommodation and alms easy.

The Buddha taught:

- Hey Ananda, Sīvali go in the group of Bhikkhu, right?

- Bach Duc The Religion, with Lord Venerable Sīvali accompanying in the delegation.

The Buddha taught:

- Thus, Chu Bhikkhu should follow the long road of 30 due to the week. To know clearly the merit of S thiệnvali.

The Buddha and the group of monks and nuns swarmed by the long road of 30 due to the week. All the gods believe the Buddha and the Bhikkhu Khưu Increase the island, including his beloved Venerable Sīvali, who is walking along this path, so he is extremely happy. Every week, the gods turned out to be a prosperous city with a large population, there were big temples, in every temple, it turned out to be a big cup for Buddha and small cups for those the Bhikkhu. In the cup there are all the necessary supplies of the monastic order, to welcome the Buddha and the Bhikkhu Bhikkhu Sangha.

When the Buddha and the monks and nuns go to the place where Chu Thien turns out to be close to the male and the close-up of the female faithful in the Three Jewels, they offer four fully-made offerings.

All the gods come to pay homage to the Buddha, the Buddha said:

- Dear Lord, where is our Venerable Sīvali?

When I met him Venerable Sīvali, all the gods were extremely happy, so the items used clothing, food, shelter and medicine to cure illnesses arise to the monks, who are rich and prosperous until when the Buddha and the Bhikkhu monks and nuns left that place.

The Buddha and the monks of the Bhikkhu monks rose one day a week, because each week Chu Thien turned into rich, densely populated cities so that the Buddha and the Bhikkhu and the Bhikkhu Bhikkhu Sang, throughout 30-week-long street, to the forest, the residence of Venerable Revata.

Venerable Revata was often told that the Buddha and the delegation of the Bhikkhu and the Bhikkhu and Sangha visited the island, he used the god to communicate a large temple to the Buddha's sermon and the meeting place of the Bhikkhu and the Sangha; turn out a fully-equipped Gandhakuti cup to the Buddha, and other small cups for bhikkhus. Also through divine powers, Revata Venerable turned out to be a great and beautiful path to welcome the Buddha and the Bhikkhu and the Bhikkhu. The Buddha and the delegation of the Bhikkhu Bhikkhu and the Bhikkhu Sangha walked on that path to the big temple, then the Buddha came to the cup of Gandhakuti, all the Bhikkhu monks each took a small cup of already made.

The devas are extremely happy to welcome the Buddha and the Bhikkhu monks and nuns, including the Venerable Sīvali, who are extremely dear to them. The gods also turned into the close-up of men and women who knew that they had exceeded the real time, so they only made fruit juice offered to the Buddha and the Bhikkhu and the Sangha. Every day, Chu Thien Festival offers 4 items to the Buddha and the Bhikkhu Bhikkhu Sangha. Very well-off. Due to the blessing of Venerable Sīvali, during the second half of the month the Buddha and the Sangha of the Bhikkhu and the Sangha lived in the forest, always being loved by the devas and offering food, food, shelter and medicine in a way. fully, abundantly rich and unprecedented ever.

The Blessed One taught that:

-This Chu Bhikkhu, Sīvali has a lot of fortune due to the retribution of good deeds created in past lives.

Sīvali's previous life of many merits

From this present earth, back in the past 100 thousand earth lives, Buddha Padumuttara appeared on the earth. At that time, his predecessor, Venerable Sīvali, was the son of a wealthy family. One day, the son went to the temple, sat behind the audience listening to Buddha's sermon. At that time the Buddha commended a disciple whose name was called Sudassana, the Sage of the Sage, who had the best fortune in the disciple of the Buddha's disciple. 

The son made merit to offer to Buddha and 500 monks with delicious food for 7 days. The Buddha said: Sīvali - The Disciple of the Holy Spirit has the best fortune of Tathagata

His son, the predecessor of Sīvali, was extremely happy with his noble position, Venerable Sudassana, so he had the desire to become the first saint of the disciple with the most gifted disciples. of the Buddha in the future, like this Sudassana.

Soon after, the son came to worship the Buddha and then invited the Buddha and 500 Bhikshu monks to come to the house to do merit for seven days. The Buddha silently accepted the word.

The son made merit to offer to Buddha and 500 monks with delicious food for 7 days. The seventh day also offered a three-yr to the Buddha and 500 Bhikkhu Bhikkhu Sangha each set a three y. After offering the three ys, the son came to pay homage to the Buddha, sit down at a place of ceremony, then blessed with the Blessed One that:

- Dear Lord The Blessed One, the great blessing that I have created over the past 7 days, I do not expect anything other than to become the Great Venerable Master who has the best fortune in the ranks of Thinh Van Dai Dai. The death of the Buddha in the future, as the throne of Venerable Sudassana, the Great Disciple of Saints has the most giftedness in the rows of the Buddha's Disciple of the Apostle now.

Buddha Padumuttara uses Anagatamsanāna wisdom: wisdom clearly sees the future of beings - The Buddha clearly sees the wish of this son to be accomplished in the future, so he signed that:

- This Bhikkhu Bhikkhu, since this earthly life, in the future will go through 100 thousand great earthly lives, to the earth Bhađakappa has Gotama Buddha appeared in the world, then this son will become The Disciple of the Great Siddhartha has the best fortune in the rows of the Gotama's Great Sages: like Sadussana the Great Sage of the Tathagata now.

His son was extremely happy and sometimes happy, he made offerings of 4 items to the Buddha and the monks for the rest of his life. Starting from that life until the last life, being reborn as a human being, as the celestial gods in the heavenly sex world, acting as a celestial being in the celestial realms of the world, not being deprived of the four evil paths. In any life, the mind also rejoices in making blessings and alms offerings.

In the period when Buddha Vipassi appeared in the world, the time of this earth's life was 91 years old, when he was predecessor, Venerable Sīvali was born a son in a poor family near Badhumati.

One day, the people in Bandhumati made a blessing to give a real offering to Vipassana and the Bhikkhu Sangha, competing with the King in the city of Bandhumati. All food and drink are very good and delicious, but there are two missing items: yogurt and honey. The leader sent people to pick up the streets and go into the city, considering if anyone brought two yogurt and honey into the city to sell, it would have to be bought at any price.

At that time, the poor young man (Mr. Sīvali's predecessor) brought yogurt and honey into the city, when he met the people of Bandhumati. Immediately paid 1 Kahapana for honey and yogurt, the two-item owner was surprised. The young man thought that these two foods were not worth much, why did Bandhumati citizens pay such a high price? Let's see how their needs are, with such thoughts, the young man said:

- I will not sell this yogurt and honey with the price of 1 Kahapana.

The people of Bandhumati begged to buy those two items at twice the price, 2 Kahapana. The owner still does not sell. The people of Bandhumati doubled the amount, doubled, 4 Kahapana, 8 Kahapana ... so on to 1000 Kahapana, to buy two yogurt and honey. The young man who owns the two dishes wants to know, why Bandhumati people need two yogurt and honey dishes, and pay such a high amount, so ask the buyer:

- Sir, the truth is that these two foods are not worth it, why do you need these two items, should you pay such a sum of 1000 Kahapana, can you tell me the reason?

- Bandhumati people explain that:

- Sir, Bandhumati people compete with the King in making a offering to Buddha Vipassi and all the Bhikkhu monks and monks, when reviewing the offerings, they still lack two milk Sour and honey, let me take the road to find two food items. If we don't buy these two foods, we will lose to the king, so at any price we try to buy.

Listen to this, the young man who owns two food items:

- Sir, is making merit to giving yogurt and honey dishes to Buddha Vipassi and monks and nuns only dedicated to the people of Bandhumati, or can other people make blessings as well?

People who buy yogurt and honey say:

- Sir, making merit of offering yogurt and honey as well as other food and utensils to Buddha Vipassi and Bhikkhu Khưu Sangha is not reserved for Bandhumati citizens, anyone can It is a common thing for everyone.

The poor young man immediately said:

- Sir, I do not sell these two yogurt and honey with the price of 1000 Kahapana, but I want to offer these two dishes, can I make blessings with the people of Bandhumati?

The people of Bandhumati were extremely happy, he immediately returned to inform the leader of the group, and the young man asked to share alms and honey with the monks and nuns.

The young man made his own yogurt and honey dishes, and sat waiting for his turn to offer. When offering offerings, he youthful with Buddha Vipassi said:

- Dear Duc Thai Ton, this pet food dish is very small, asking for the honor to the Buddha, asking Duc Thai Ton compassionate life.

The Vipassi Buddha received the food made of yogurt and the poor man's honey. The Venerable Buddha finished his vow, the Buddha took the food made of yogurt and honey divided to 6 million 8 hundred thousand (6800000) Bhikkhu Khưu The increase is still not over.

When the Buddha and the Bhikkhu Khưu increased the level of material, the poor young man was the precursor of Venerable Sīvali to the Buddha's Holiness to sit down in a reasonable place, saying:

- Respectfully pray to the Blessed One, the graceful son meets the Blessed One, I have a good opportunity with the people of Bandhumati to make merit and make offerings to the Buddha and the Bhikkhu Khưu Sang, I am very happy, with blessings For this noble goodness, may I become the most gifted disciple of the great disciple of Saint Thinh, the disciple of the Buddha in the future.

At that time the Buddha Vipassi taught that:

- My wish will surely be achieved as expected.

The Buddha preached and blessed the whole people into Bandhumati, before the Buddha and the monks and nuns went elsewhere.

Young man, the precursor of Venerable Sīvali diligently created all good deeds, especially alms to life. Within the cycle of birth and death, he only reborn as a human being, making Chu Thien enjoy peace, not at all. on the 4 evil paths.

The period of Gotama Buddha appeared in the world .. Venerable Sīvali was a great blessing born into the heart of the princess of Suppavasa in Koliya as mentioned in the beginning.

Karma and results of karma

Good karma, evil karma is the own of every being. The fruit of good kamma, the result of the negative karma is not only for me, but also for other people and other beings.

In the sutra, the Buddha taught about good karma, bad karma and the result of good karma, evil karma has a verse that says:

"Yadisam vāpte bijam, Tādisam harate phalamKalyanakari kalyanam, Papakari ca papakam"

Temporarily translate:

"Who sows any seed,

He reaps the fruit.

Good people are good

The evil man is evil. "

The biography of Venerable Sīvali in his present life is the result of the negative karma and karma that he himself created in his past life and in the present.

Venerable Sīvali became the great Venerable Saint of the disciples who had the best fortune in the disciples of Gotama Buddha, according to his aspirations, but the achievements made by karma from the previous lives of the Great Germany Sīvali in the past.

Now in this present life, the Venerable Sīvali is the Holy Alah, also his last life. All the fruits of good kamma and the result of bad karma will become ineffective, when the Venerable Sīvali annihilates Nirvana, ending birth and death in three worlds of four species.
