Buddhist story: "Cursed and the Buddha's teachings"?VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

In the Sutta Path, the Buddha taught: "One should not care about the world. It should not spread rumors." Why so? Because the mundane stories are often the stories of marketing, harassment, right and wrong, disputes over losing, and rumors are often baseless, unreliable, difficult to verify, only harm the reputation of people otherwise, it all makes the mind uneasy and agitated for nothing.

While still in the world, once, Buddha went to teach Brahmanism. The Brahmin monks saw their disciples following Buddha so much, so they went out to welcome the Buddha to curse. Buddha was still leisurely, they followed after cursing. Seeing the Buddha calmly silence, they were angry, blocking Buddha to ask:

- Is Cù-talks deaf?
- I'm not deaf.
- You're not deaf, why don't you hear me swear?
- Brahmin, if your family has a party, family members come to attend, banquet they go home, he took gifts they did not receive, whose gifts it on?
- It's a gift to me.
- Also, he cursed me, we do not accept it.

Did you really understand the whole story of "Cursing and the teachings of Buddha"?

The one who called the name of Buddha cursed but he didn't accept. As for us, the silly words, everywhere the wind is listening, to sad to angry. Thus see the foolish words of beings He does not accept not sad.

Man due to delusion, only a more heavy words, cuddled forever in his heart, so that constant suffering. We practice by following the example of Buddha, all our bad habits must be abandoned, the actions of people saying bad things, don't care. That is to be happy.

In the Buddhist scriptures, for example, an evil person scolds a good person, a good person does not accept such a scolding, the evil person is like a person facing up to spit in the sky, saliva does not come to heaven but falls right on the sprayer's face. So there is new attachment to suffering, if not, then peace and happiness.

No one can prevent accusations, false reports or false rumors from intentional or malicious people. This world is full of thorns and sharp rocks. But if it is imperative to walk on it, it is impossible to avoid it, and moreover we cannot leave the thorns and remove the stones, it is better to wear a firm and careful shoes step by step.

In this world, people can listen to unfavorable stories, false accusations, slanderous accusations, from tongue-to-mouth, which are actually not of concern, regardless come.

In the history from ancient to ancient times, from east to west, great people have often been slandered, framed, defamed, poisoned, tried, or shot and killed. Their lives are also full of obstacles, obstacles, abnormal. But they remain calm when honored as well as when being humiliated.

Do people know whether they know their job or not, they don't care. They work and serve, but in their hearts they do not care about enjoying, do not expect to be rewarded in any form, whether material or mental, including the transmission of a good reputation for the good. posterity after tomorrow!

The great men are all commended wholeheartedly, but still always calm and unwavering.

The important thing in the Buddhist teaching is "no-self", that is, there is no "I", so nothing is really "mine".

That is the ultimate noble philosophy that we need to study, learn, learn, reflect to think thoroughly, so that when faced with destruction or honor in this world, we still keep the mind. ease.

When a person scolds you lightly, you do not "receive" the word, you will not be upset because of it, we will feel serene and peaceful. But do not stop there, be more open to those who are still ignorant, try to understand them and open their hearts, help them enlighten the right and wrong, help them live better. That's the way to fully understand, fully "cultivate". END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.24/10/2019.
