Brief Buddhist Sutta of Buddha at the time of Nirvana

 Shakyamuni Buddha, turning the wheel of Dharma for the first time turned into a venerable Kieu, like the last sermon on Venerable Tu bap dala. Those who can convert, He chemical all. Today, in Sa la forest, amidst the longevity tree, he is about to nirvana. Now, in the middle of the night, completely silent, without a sound, he told his disciples to summarize the essential things of the Dharma.

 The monks, after Tathagata passed away, must respect the pure precepts, such as blindness and bright eyes, poverty, and gold. Know the pure precepts are the great masters of the masters. If the Tathagata in life is no different from the pure world.

 Preserving the precepts, the masters must not trade, sell, trade, repair land, raise people, servants and animals, and take care of the planting and trading of treasures. All this, please avoid as if the fire pit. Including clearing trees and digging soil. The making of medicine, considered fortune telling, astronomy, weather forecast, numerical calendar, are not suitable for teachers. Teachers to abstain from the body, to eat at the right time, to live by a clean life, not to attend the world, to the mission of liaison. The spells, the elixir, the delivery of the nobility, and being close to them, then being cowardly, arrogant, are all not allowed to do. Have self-respect, mindfulness in praying. Do not hide mistakes, appear strange to fascinate the masses.For the four offerings, must know the amount and know just enough.Whenever donated, it should not be hoarded.

 It is Tathagata summarizing the precepts. Gender is justified with the basis of liberation, so Tathagata is called Brahminata. Because of precepts, meditation arises, and the intellect has the power to destroy suffering. 

So, monks, keep the precepts, don't violate them. Whoever keeps the precepts, the person has good dharma. Without the pure precepts, all merit cannot arise. Therefore, knowing the pure precepts is the most peaceful place, a refuge for all merit.

 The monks, in the pure world, must tame the five senses, not letting go of the sensual year. Like a herd of buffaloes, holding sticks and watching, not letting loose, violate his cheeks. Liberating the five senses, there is not only the fifth year of sensual pleasure, but there may be no more restrictions or restrictions. Like an aggressive horse that is not tamed by a bridle, it will bring the person into the pit. Robbers do harm, suffering only one life, while enemy senses affect many lives: the damage is very heavy, the teachers cannot be careful. So the wise have tamed but did not follow, keeping as the enemy, not for unruly. Assuming the five senses are unruly, soon we will see them destroy all.

 The monks, the five sense organs are active in the mind, so that the teachers must carefully control their minds. The mind is more frightening than the poisonous snakes, wild beasts, enemies, rampant fire is not enough for the mind. Like a man with a bowl of bile and moving and running, only seeing the bile and not seeing the deep hole, like a crazy elephant without an iron hook and ape and the monkey could gain forest trees, he would aggressively jump, hard to prevent; The teachers must hurry up and spread, don't be unruly. Unleash the mind, then shatter the good of people. Tame the mind in one place, nothing fails. So, monks, make effort to subdue your mind.

 The Bhikkhu monks, life use food and drink, consider as taking medicine, delicious no ham, bad not give up, just enough to maintain the body from hunger and thirst. As bees take flowers, only get flavors without hurting the flavor, so do the monks. Utilizing the offerings of people who have just recovered from hunger and hunger, are not eager for much, breaking their good thoughts. Imitate the wise, know how much strength your buffalo has to endure, not use it to the point of exhaustion. 

The monks, the effort to practice the Dharma during the day, do not allow time to slip away, and at the beginning of the night at the end of the night, do not abandon, in the middle of the night, you must recite to self-eradicate evil and grow good. Do not for the reason of sleeping, but let your life go by, it is not helpful. Remember the impermanent fire that ignites the world, so that in spite of self-reliance, don't fall asleep. The afflictive enemy often stalks us, more evil than the enemy, why can we sleep without being alert? Disturbing sleep in the heart, as well as black cobras sleeping in the house, the teacher must use iron clinging to keep the world that urgently hook it out. Snakes out then should rest assured sleep. If you don't go out and sleep, you are a shameless person. Shame is the most beautiful costume of all. Like an iron hook, shame has the power to overpower illegal things. So, monks and nuns,Always be ashamed, humiliated, never, even temporarily, to forget that quality. Losing shame is losing merit. There is shame is good legal, not ashamed is no different animals.

 The monks, if anyone cuts off their bodies and burn each one, they must restrain their minds and don't get angry. Must keep the tongue mouth, do not let the sound is not good. The anger that arises is self-harm to karma, to lose merit. The virtues of forbearance, moral precepts, and asceticism are unmatched. Practicing virtue is being called the powerful ruler. Whoever cannot receive such humiliating humiliation as drinking orange juice, he cannot be praised as a wise initiate. Why, because anger destroys all good deeds and valuable reputation, the future no one wants to see. Anger is more than a fierce fire, so the teachers must be on a permanent basis, not to enter the mind. The bandits of merit do not spend more than anger. The world enjoys sensual pleasures, not religious people, There is no method for self-control, so anger can be forgiven. And the renunciant who is the one who eliminates desire, yet anger is unworthy; It's no different from a cloudy, clear sky with thunder and lightning being inappropriate. 

The monks, let yourself rub your head, give up the adornment and good clothes, wear the ruined robe, adapt the handle, beg for alms; self-respect and arrogance still emerge, so must be radiantly dispersed. Increasing arrogance is something that people should not have, let alone those who are ordained for liberation, descending themselves to beg for alms?

 The monks, the mentality of flattery, contradicts the dharma, so they have to rectify their mind. Must be flirtatious sense of flattery just to lie, but the proselytizing cannot be like that. That is why the teachers need to be righteous in their hearts, taking the virtue of integrity as the basis.

 The monks, the stilts, must know who desires more, then because of many benefits, so much suffering. There are few desires, no ambition, no desire, so there is no such painting. Only like that alone, the little desire also had to practice, let alone that it brought enough merit. People with low desires do not flirt around to pray for their hearts, nor are they attracted by the senses.Practicing the virtue of little desire is calm, fearless, and inexperienced in any situation, never felt deprived. There is little desire to have nirvana. It is less desirable behavior. 

The monks, want to liberate suffering, then consider the knowing just enough. It is just enough knowledge that is rich, fun and peaceful. Knowing just enough, lying on the ground is also fun, if you do not know, just in heaven is still discontented. If you don't know enough, you will be rich and poor. Not knowing is enough, it is always enticed all year long by sensual pleasures, making people know enough to be merciful. That is just enough to know.

 The monks, to pray for peace, freedom and peace, then escape all the noise and confusion, be alone and in a relaxed manner. Those who are quiet, the God of Gods and the gods are revered. That is why the teachers should be free of their belongings, and their belongings, alone, relaxed and deserted, using "thinking" to cut the roots of suffering. If they like their clothes, they will be disturbed by them, such as the longevity tree that the birds gather together, but the painting is still dry. The world is bound, but submerged in misery, is no different from an old elephant that sank into the mud, expecting to escape. It is the transcendent conduct.

 The monks, effortless effort is not difficult. So the teachers must practice diligent effort. Small water that flows forever can pierce the rock. If a layman or a lazy person abandons it, then like pulling a fire that is not hot yet has stopped, even though there is fire, it is hard to get fire. It is virtuous progress.

The Bhikkhu stilts, pray for good knowledge, pray for good maintenance and pray for good support, are not equal to not forget mindfulness. Without forgetting mindfulness, all disturbing emotions will invade the mind. So the teachers always focus mindfulness in the mind. Losing mindfulness is losing merit. If mindfulness has strong power, then even if one has to go into the army of five desires, they will not be killed; just like a general battle soldier wearing a copper-clad armor, there's no more fear. It is happiness not to forget mindfulness.

 The monks, concentration center, the mind will be in meditation. The mind in meditation can comprehend the changing state of the universe. That's why the teachers must always be diligent and strive to practice meditation.Meditate, the mind will be dispersed. Unfortunately for the country, we have to build a dyke to repair the shore well, so is the practitioner, practice the meditation to keep it from flowing. That is the meditation.

 The Bhikkhu stilts, intellectuals are out of passion, always awakening and self-examining, so that no mistakes can be made, so in the Dharma of Tathagata, one has the ability to carry out the solution. exit. Not like that, he didn't have to become a renunciate, he didn't have to be worldly. True wisdom is the strongest boat across the sea to give birth to sick men, to be the brightest light for ignorance, to be the panacea for all the sick, and to sharpen the tree of disturbing emotions. That's why the teachers should use the wisdom from the tu tu evidence to increase the benefits. Having the wisdom to shine, even the eyes of the flesh, is still the one who sees it most clearly. It is intellectual conduct.

 The Bhikkhu stilts, if the comments everything the mind disorder. Thus, although renunciation that has not been transcendent. So, monks, let go of the mind of the mind. The teachers want to make fun of passing away, there is only an expedited way to eradicate the argument. That is unhappy comment. 

Monks, for all merit, you should practice one-pointedly regularly, avoiding distractions like avoiding enemies. Demonstrating great compassion, Tathagata said the Dharma benefits in a way. The teachers only effort but practice. Either in the mountains, forest, or near the lagoon, or under the great life, stay calmly, in the small retreat, remember and contemplate the Dharma you have received, don't forget it. Make constant efforts, practice diligently, do not let your life die in vain, and then you will have to fear remorse. Tathagata such as a physician, knowing only medicine, whether or not to drink, is not the fault of the physician. As a good guide, only good guide for people, but heard but did not go, it is not the fault of the guide.

 The Bhikkhu monks, for the four truths, the teachers still have doubts where they can question immediately, do not hold the skepticism without asking for answers. The Blessed One spoke three times, but no one questioned it.Because no monks have any doubts. Then Venerable A had long time to observe the monks' minds, and then said to Him, Blessed One, the moon can warm up, the sun can cool, but the four truths Religious teachers can not make it different. He taught suffering is so miserable, it cannot be cheerful;practice is the cause of suffering, there is no other cause; cessation is the cessation of cessation because the cause has ceased; virtue is the method to eliminate suffering, so it is true, there is no other religion. The White Buddha, with respect to the four truths, these monks have decided,

 Monks at that time, those practitioners who were still incomplete, saw that the Buddha had already ceased to be compassionate. Those who have just come to the Dharma, listened to the Buddha's words, and became chemical, like in the dark night, when the light flashes, they see the road. And those who have completed the practice, have passed through the sea of ​​suffering, they just think that the Blessed One eliminated so quickly.

 Therefore, Venerable A has long and long time already declared himself, that all monks understand the four truths. . The monks, should not be sad; if Tathagata long life to a great life again, then the combination will also have to disintegrate. Combining without disintegrating is not possible. Dharma is self-sufficient and self-sufficient. As long as the future to live no longer useful anymore. Who is capable of receiving the chemical, then on the gods or in humanity, Tathagata has all chemical. Who can not accept the chemical, the Tathagata also created chemical factors for them. From now on, disciples of Tathagata develop the practice. Such is the legal body of the Tathagata permanent resident.

 So, monks, should be aware that the whole life is an impermanent change, combined, it will disintegrate, do not worry about anything. On the contrary, in such a life, the teachers must strive diligently to early pray for self-sufficiency, bringing the light of wisdom to eliminate the darkness of ignorance. The universe is indeed fragile, nothing is enduring. Tathagata is killed as well as except for the terrible disease. This is a cruel and despicable thing, pretending to be the body that is submerged in the sea of ​​old and sick, dead and alive, so the wise man would not be happy to get rid of this body like the enemy.

 The monks, please often single-mindedly, efforts need to be enlightened.The whole universe, whether volatile or immutable, is a state of insecurity and disintegration. Well, you guys should be quiet, should not say anymore.The time is running out, Tathagata wants to kill. Above are the ultimate teachings of Tathagata.
