SUTRA Avalika 

 At the Citadel, in the early morning, Bhikkhu-ni Avalika hugged him in a bowl and walked into the citadel to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this Bhikshuni free from the tranquility, come close and talk to the Bhikkhu- ni in these sentences:

"There is no escape

Stay in this world

What are you trying to do

with this loneliness?                                                                                                                     

Enjoy sensual pleasure

Do not be like someone

Then later regret. "

At this moment, the thought occurred to Avalika Bhikkhu-ni: "Who just read this sentence - is it a human being or not a human being?" Then the thought already existed with the bhikkhuni: "This is the Devil, who read this sentence to arouse fear, terror, and persecution, wanting to free us from the tranquility."

When the bhikkhuni realized that "this is the Devil," the bhikkhuni answered it with these sentences:

"There is an escape

In this world,

Because I have achieved

With clear awareness.

You are the Devil

Belonging of forgetfulness

There is no knowledge.

Sensual sensations

As well as swords and spears

The aggregates are like that

It's their executioner

Sexual pleasures that you say

Nothing fun for me. ”

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that "Bhikkhu-ni Avalika knew me" and disappeared.

Bình:  The happiness of the world is to be made with sensual sensation: the joy of desire, desire and enjoyment. The renunciate with the ideal of renunciation of sensuality, living a lonely life is an unusual act and aspiration that makes the bystanders question the most, especially for the young monks with the appearance; Many people think that they are crazy and will regret it.

The above discourse shows us the clear awareness, wonderful mindfulness of the Bhikkhu-ni Avalika with the escape of sensual pleasures ( talent, color, mind, reality and lobe ...),  sweet temptations of the world, and how could Avalika be able to escape them? To the eyes of the world, those sensual things are the taste of pleasure, but to the renunciant as a sword and a spear, it can kill people at any time.

One life, people chase money, beauty, fame, good food, sleep ... but few people are square all that dream. Assuming that having money is not necessarily all about anxiety, beauty, and beauty, it is not possible to have forever, to have a reputation that is not sure to be satisfied and to be still. just keep eating delicious. Having a high-class place to sleep may not be able to sleep, but it is not possible to have a bad dream, etc. In the Buddhist scriptures teach: "People who desire for sensual pleasure like licking a drop of honey on the tip of a knife," just having pleasure is also the time when your tongue breaks. So Sister Avalika said that they were like swords and spears, just thinking about it made our souls suffer.

In addition to the five gross sensual pleasures, the five aggregates (agglomeration, obscuring the true nature): Sac ( Thanh, incense, taste, contact, dharma)  aggregates, sensual aggregates, thoughts, aggregates, and aggregates are more frightening than the whole year. sex, they are like a knife, it is difficult to escape the danger from them if we do not have mindfulness. Why are they like a knife? For example, when our eyes come into contact with color, our ears hear ... if we are forgetful, then the feelings of love ... inside us arise, then the thoughts, the mind, the discrimination attract we create bad karma, though we do not create karma, we also expect uneasiness; most of the tribulations, calamities, and sufferings of humans are caused by slavery of the mundane circumstances. 

The practice of mindfulness is to look at the five senses clearly - the aggregates, without being confused by the wrong thoughts about them using the mind and obscuring the mind. No matter how delicious or lame the worldly desires are, it is just a delusion, not worth letting us plunge into, pursue them, sacrifice for them. When mindfulness is present, we can see that they are demons, swords and clearly see the dangers as soon as the mind arises to help the renunciants stop to continue operating the mind in the right direction. The practice of maturing contemplation helps the practitioner to recognize that "seeing sounds sound like planting flowers on a rock, seeing fame ... like dust falling in the eyes ( enlightening enlightenment as a flower of superiority / knowledge of fame as longan" Middle before class. " (Zen master Phu Dung Dao Giai), that is the meaning of escapism, having peace and real freedom for the renunciants when confronting the ceiling without them being affected by the view of insight and understanding. what are their nature like.

Soma 

At Xa Ve, in the early morning, Bhikkhu-ni Soma hugged him in a bowl and walked into Xa Ve city to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"That was only achieved

By the sages

Very difficult place to access

Women can not reach

With low awareness.

At this moment, the thought came to Bhikkhu-ni Soma: "Who just read this sentence - is it a human being or not a human being?" Then the thought already existed with the bhikkhuni: "This is the Devil, who read this sentence to arouse fear, terror, and persecution, wanting to free us from meditation."

When the bhikkhuni realized that "this is the Devil," the bhikkhuni answered it with these sentences:

"What is different

With the female practitioner

when the mind is cleverly focused,

when the intellect proceeds,

See clearly, rightly

Go inside Buddha Dharma.

Anyone thinking

'I am a woman'

Or 'a man'

Or 'What am I?'

That guy is

Worthy name of the Demon. ”

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that, "Bhikkhu-ni Soma Avalika knew me" and disappeared immediately.

Bình:  During the Buddha's time the discrimination against women in India was quite high; women are only responsible for giving birth and raising children to maintain their race; women lacked education and culture, and in addition to serving men, they could not enter the ranks of the Taoist, Brahmin, the highest clergy of the four Indian classes of the time. Getting women (and the lowest-class members of society) to become monks is a big revolution for Buddha. 

A bhikkhuni sitting in meditation like a Taoist is a strange thing. The infidels do not believe that women of this ancient age with low knowledge could approach and gain the mindset of the Sages, the Indian Taoists, even though they are diligent in their practice, it is useless.

The view of Bhikkhu-stilts-Ni Soma is the view by meticulous practice, not the view by the discrimination and practices of the world. According to whether a male or female teacher, if one is skillful, good at practicing, the mind has mindfulness and concentration, all develop the same liberation wisdom. If someone thinks that she is a female, male, or any other attribute of being evil, is evil.

In Buddhist Dharma, when practicing, one starts reciting that 'we have attributes, the nature of man, we have attributes, nature of woman ...' is the practitioner who is clinging to attributes and that nature, so the body and mind can hardly be peaceful, free. Whether male or female is also the general of impermanence, suffering and non-self. Meditation is to gain wisdom, the mind is no longer trapped by the premiers, that is the true view, the view from inner liberation, which is also the main goal of the ideal of liberation. Kinh Kim Cuong said: "Phàm possesses a visionary disillusioned general, weak opinions of non-generals, rules and opinions of Tathagata."

SUTRA Gotami 

At Xa Vi citadel, in the early morning, Bhikkhu-ni Kisa Gotami hugged in a bowl and walked into Xa Ve city to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

“Why did your daughter die?

She sat here alone

Her eyes filled with tears

In loneliness like that

Pensive in the middle of the forest

To find a man? ”

At this moment, the thought came to Kisa Gotami Bhikkhu-ni: "Who just read this sentence - is it a human being or not a human being?" Then the thought already existed with the bhikkhuni: "This is the Devil, who read this sentence to arouse fear, terror, and persecution, wanting to free us from meditation."

When the bhikkhuni realized that "this is the Devil," the bhikkhuni answered it with these sentences:

“The dead child is the past

Men have broken

I have nothing sad

Nothing to cry

Nor afraid of you

Joy of destruction

The dark night shattered

I have won

Army of death

Free the defilements

My mind has settled. ”

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that, "Bhikshuni Kisa Gotami knows me" and disappeared immediately.

 

Bình:  Before becoming a renunciate, Bhikkhu-ni Kisa Gotami belonged to the Gotama lineage with Buddha. The husband is a businessman, she gave birth to a son when she was just able to speak and became ill and died. So miserable and insane she hugged her dead son to find a physician and a physician to save her life, but no one could do it. She hugged me to see the Buddha and put it at his feet hoping that he could save her life. The Buddha appeased her by offering that if she 'please give him a handful of mustard seeds from any family without a relative dead.' She was swimming everywhere but couldn't get any mustard seeds, because every family died. Then she returned to the Buddha, saying that every family has people who die and accept the truth. The Buddha here theory of impermanence, birth and death of all things. After listening to her attained preliminary results Tu-da completed and renunciation. 

The above sutta talks about the virtue of a Buddhist monk, Bhikkhu-ni Gotami, just like the other monks: In the morning, beg for alms, have a boy's lunch, then go to the forest to sit still, meditation. Before starting to meditate, it is common to see the Devil or the mind appearing as an object of the contemplation. By practicing the right dharma, they are no longer sad, happy, afraid or worldly desires dominate and control the Devil.

The tranquility alone while practicing for a renunciate who has a traumatic past makes outsiders think that he cannot forget the past, or that he is looking for something to appease him. such great suffering and loss. However, for enlightened renunciants, whatever belongs to the past is the past, cannot affect the present reality.

After a period of diligent practice, except for all contraband or, breaking the darkness of ignorance, Bhikkhu-ni Gotami attained the Holy Arahantship (also known as Hybrid-highest result in four results Sa-Mon), no longer being driven by death, the mind has abided, completely liberating the notions arising from craving, anxiety, fear and insecurity ... each had her in control.

SUTRA Vijaya

At the citadel, early in the morning, Bhikkhu-ni Vijaya hugged him in a bowl and walked into the citadel to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"She, a young woman

I am a male

Hey beautiful people

With five-tone melody

Let's enjoy it together. "

At this moment, the thought came to Bhikkhu-ni Vijaya: "Who just read this sentence - is it a human being or not a human being?" Then the thought already existed with the bhikkhuni: "This is the Devil, who read this sentence to arouse fear, terror, and persecution, wanting to free us from meditation."

When the bhikkhuni realized that "this is the Devil," the bhikkhuni answered it with these sentences:

“Color, sound, taste, taste, touch

The sweet feelings

I yield to the Devil,

I don't need them.

I am bored and embarrassed

This impure body

Decomposing, disintegrating.

Craving is over

They arise from materiality

 Who Does not wallow in color

Can enter the peaceful mind

The darkness is completely destroyed. ”

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that, "Bhikkhu - bhikkhuni Vijaya knows me" and disappeared immediately.

Bình:  Young and beautiful is a happiness and has many advantages to enjoy the sharp, clear rhythms (pentatonic Ragas: 1.Raga Abhogi, 2.Raga Gavati, 3.Raga Bhindabani Sarang, 4.Raga Gujaree Todi, and 5.Raga Bhupali) from the common point of view, this is rooted in the mindset: sentient beings of the four elements harmonize, death is over, so life must be enjoyed relaxed pleasure that the philosophy of Materialism (cessation of cessation) of Ajita Kesa Kambalac from ancient India has greatly influenced the viewpoint of society. 

However, the point of materialism that ceases is also an extreme one, causing people to follow a lifestyle of enjoying sensuality, letting go and fall, leading to moral evils because there is no direction for inner peace, so the consequences of suffering are not few.

The above sutta shows us the insight of Sister Vijaya, a young and beautiful monk who is not charmed by the secular words and worldliness. Vijaya realized that the sweet emotions of color, sound, aroma, taste and touch were unreal, so she gave up the monkhood, ignoring them. 

With the practice of impure initiation - is a first practice in the four foundations of mindfulness ( the body of impure body, the body of impermanence, the method of selflessness, contemplation of life ), and is also one of the Five Families of Mind and Heart ( the impure contemplation to treat sexual desire, the breathing shop to treat the distracted mind, the compassion shop to treat anger, the predestined karma to treat ignorance, and the discriminatory precepts for the treatment of ego ), Bhikkhu-ni Vijaya has achieved the level of craving for sexual desire when he was young when he realized that his body was impure, impure, on his way to aging, sickness and decay. space, and therefore, nothing outside her touches her. 

Seeing that all sentient beings are born of rupa and are charmed by rupa, and at the same time practice contemplating the artificial nature of the body, gradually letting go of the mind taking part in that rupa is an effective training process. It is wonderful that only those who follow the Dharma, practice and follow the Dharma, will be liberated from the contemplative dharma, consistent with their basic bases.

SUTRA Uppalavanna 

At Xa Ve, in the early morning, Bhikkhu-ni Uppalavanna hugged him in a bowl and walked into Xa Ve city to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"Bhikkhu-ni has come

Under this tala tree

With beautiful flower season

She stood here alone

Under its tree,

Nobody can match

The beauty of her

You stupid girl

Aren't you afraid of stirring up noise? ”

At this moment, the thought came to Bhikkhu-ni Uppalavanna: "Who just read this sentence - is it a human being or not a human being?" Then the thought already existed with the bhikkhuni: "This is the Devil, who read this sentence to arouse fear, terror, and persecution, wanting to free us from meditation."

When the bhikkhuni realized that "this is the Devil," the bhikkhuni answered it with these sentences:

 “Hundreds of thousands of people stir

Come with me like that

I will not waver

Even just a hair

I do not feel worried

Or fear the Devil

Although alone like that

Here-We disappear

Or in his stomach

Standing between his eyebrows

But he did not see me

I have subjugated the mind

Certificate of sufficient spirit

Get rid of the constraints

And do not scare him

Hey my friend. ”

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that, "Bhikkhu-ni Uppalavanna knows me" and disappeared immediately.

 

Commentary:  Just like the above discourse. This Sutta Bhikkhu-ni Uppalavanna was also wickedly wicked. It's a strange thing to be a beautiful woman standing alone in a deserted place without fear of being harassed by men. To someone else's eyes it was a foolish act.

However, the Devil did not expect that this nun had witnessed the supernatural power of the Buddhas / ṛiddhi viṣaga-jñānaṃ (one of the six magical powers (ṣaḍ abhijñāḥ) that manifested the supreme, liberating, and unacceptable intellect of the Buddhas. , Bodhisattva and Arahantship: 1. Angel eyes (divyaṃ-cakṣuḥ-jñānaṃ) 2. Angel ears (divyaṃ-śrotraṃ-jñānaṃ) (paracitta-jñānaṃ) 5.Petvasivas (purvanivasānusmṛiti-jñānaṃ), and 6.Stermatic wisdom (āsravakṣaya-jñānaṃ)) has the supreme power to transform the body according to the will; so she is no longer frightened, no one can stir, shake, and go to her stomach, stand between other people's eyebrows, or can go into the sea, disappear into the clouds and so on. can see. According to the Dharma, when one enters the concentration rightly, the mind no longer has a single thought of departing to attain the Six Paths of Concern, free, nothing can be an obstacle. The attainment of the Six Paths also means that one has completely escaped the cycle of birth and death.

When the six faculties come into contact with the 6 ceilings and our mind is no longer shaken, dominated by the 6 ceilings ceased to be stirred by the thoughts of the passing away of the ceiling ... it also means that we attain superior wisdom. by mindfulness. In Zen Buddhism, miraculous power and magic are always present in a very normal life when the mind is in that scene: Magical power is miraculous / Magical water is miraculous (Magical and miraculous is carrying water to cut wood ...)

The evil is also evil thoughts, expectations; when mindfulness is present, we see the hope without following it, no longer being drawn into it, bound by it, no longer afraid of it because we own it, right away it disappears.

SUTRA Cala 

At the Citadel, in the early morning, the Bhikkhu-ni Cala hugged him in a bowl, went into the citadel to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"O bhikkhuni, what are you not happy about?"

"Hey you, I don't like being born"

"Why don't you like birth?"

A person is born

Enjoy the sensual pleasure

Who convinced her

There is no pleasure in giving birth? "

“Those who were born

There is also death

Who was born

All suffer.

It is a bondage

A blow, suffering

So we do not like birth

Buddha taught us

Escape from rebirth

The paragraph except all suffering

Staying in the truth

Beings from the realms of identity

And beings are colorless

If not clinging clinging

Just keep on being reborn. ”

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that "the bhikkhuni ni knew me" and disappeared.

 

Bình:  When someone has just renounced the monkhood, his / her acquaintances, friends ... often ask the question: Is there something sad or unfortunate or unfortunate in the situation ... gia (?) This is also the case of the Bhikkhu-ni Cala when the Devil asked her that there was something that made her unhappy with life.

Bhikkhu-ni Cala as well as most of the other monks, because they understand the Dharma and admire the Dharma. And she answered very practically that 'I don't like being'. This answer is strange! For the Devil, it is thanks to birth that the enjoyment of sensual pleasures of the earth. For some reason, someone persuaded her to change her opinion of life, going against the flow of life (?)

Birth and death are a matter of suffering (dukkha) for thousands of lives, there is birth and death. When born, you have to endure thousands of suffering because of this body (suffering, destruction, suffering, separation, birth / death, sickness, resentment, suffering, unhappy suffering, etc.) ...). In the Four Noble Truths discourse, the first two truths that the Buddha preached is that he talks about suffering and its Cause begins from ignorance with the 12 causal causes of dependent origination in the connected chain and the rotation of the circle Samsara. If you want to solve it, you have to remove Ignorance. In the Enlightenment the Buddha taught: The miserable scene of the Donkey, the Camel carrying heavy loads across the desert, or the miserable scene of the Blind Turtle looking for floating trees in the sea ... is also not called the miserable scene. Ignorance is the greatest suffering. ”

Bhikkhu-ni Cala does not like (fear) being born knowing that being born is suffering, is a bondage, a beating of pain. And because she wanted to be free of samsara, she studied according to the Dharma of wisdom, enlightenment, to remove ignorance, to dwell in the truth and to stop the rebirth of samsara.

"The three realms of fire are like fire," the three realms like the fire, not only the realm of Education will stop reincarnating samsara, but the Realms of Form and Formlessness also have the rebirth of suffering, burning hot like fire, because of Ignorance. . Ignorance is also craving, accepting ego; Dharma teachings have a method and a function to help practitioners eliminate the practice of attachment if they practice diligently, gradually removing the bottlenecks of the bonds from the ignorance, ignorance to gain wisdom. Prajna wisdom, to the shore of liberation, to end the life and death of suffering for thousands of lives. That is the positive, ultimate ideal of Bhikkhu-ni Cala and of all those who are monks and nuns.

SUTRA upacala

At Xa Ve, in the early morning, Bhikkhu-ni Upacala hugged him in a bowl and walked into Xa Ve city to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"Bhikkhu-ni, where do you want to be reborn?"

"Hey friend, I don't want to be reborn anywhere."

“The Three Divine Deities

Da Ma, Dau Tu Thien "

Or the realm of Lac Thien

Spontaneous alienation:

Please direct your heart

Enjoying this scene. ”

"Gods of the Three Faces

Da Ma, Dau Tu Thien

Or the realm of Lac Thien

Tha Hoa Tu In Thien

They are all tied 

With fetters craving

And still fall down

Under the control of ghosts

The whole world is on fire

The whole world is on fire

The whole world is hot

The whole world was excited. 

Not moving, not burned

People in the Middle Way                     

No problems anywhere

Where ghosts cannot reach

That place our mind

Really very peaceful. ”                                                                                                                

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that, "Bhikkhu-ni Upacala knows me" and disappeared immediately.

Jar: Where came from birth, where to die? That is the question and solution of the old Philosophical sects. The beginning of an ancient Indian Philosophical sect, Brahmanism in the Veda era, based on the cosmic and psychological aspects that formed the theory of Brahman (the Great) and Atman (the Small Self). Psychologically, the soul is immortal, that is, when Atman leaves the body, the soul is attributed to the Brahman (Great self, Brahma). Following this period is the period of Upanishad philosophy (Austria of the letter of the letter), the consistent Pham-Nga policy, which formed the concept of liberation-wisdom-reincarnation, and the end of samsara by Du Gia method. (Yoga) to be perfected. About 600 years before the era of the following, Indian thought was free to develop; the orthodox power of Brahman became weaker and weaker, Therefore, many new philosophical ideas have arisen with the viewpoint of human view and the universe. Many theories about all things like the element-mind, no-property, the four elements, etc. become a flourishing trend of doctrine. Regarding the religious practice, there is no focus on the spirituality and advocacy of the human body made up of the four elements and the stance of hedonism for the physical body for the purpose of death. There is a school that focuses on the spirit and trains the austere body in order to wish the next life to be liberated ... Of all six contemporary philosophical sects, they stand on the position of attachment: ants, often and vague. Regarding the religious practice, there is no focus on the spirituality and advocacy of the human body made up of the four elements and the stance of hedonism for the physical body for the purpose of death. There is a school that focuses on the spirit and trains the austere body in order to wish the next life to be liberated ...

Of all six contemporary philosophical sects, they stand on the position of attachment: ants, often and vague.

When the Blessed One appeared, human doubts were explained by 12 conditions in 'Or', 'karma' and 'suffering', which caused each other to cause an endless series of reincarnations. Through the teachings of the Four Noble Truths, Kill the Noble Truth and the Noble Truth as a Principle of Solution, and the Noble Truth is also the Buddhist Idealism and Liberation. To destroy the base means that the road has ceased all suffering. The truth of this world is originally a non-self; Knowing the true form, the self falls, the thought of passing away, achieving Nirvana. So how do we reach Nirvana? That is the Middle Way.

When the Devil asked Bhikkhu-stilts Upacala where she wanted to be reborn, she replied that she didn't want to be reborn in any realm. Because there is already a place, there is birth and death, there is ego, there is suffering, and there is reincarnation. However, the Devil still did not understand the meaning of this bhikkhuni, so she asked again if she practiced because she wanted to be reborn in one of the realms like the Three Realms of the Three Divas (also known as the executioner) Loi Thien-Tavatimsa), Da Ma (Yama), Da Su Da (Tusita), Hoa Thien Lac (Nimmanarati), and Tha Hoa Tu (Paranimmitavasavatti) [the heavenly realms in 28 heaven for people have merit thanks to practicing good karma] after losing one's life together? 

The true renunciation is the eradication of craving, fetters, the cause of suffering. The idea of ​​being in a world of pleasure also comes from the mind of desire. The heavenly realm of joy for those who are fully blessed, enjoying all the blessings is destroyed and transferred to another scene corresponding to the karma. Aware of this by practicing Dharma correctly, Bhikkhu-ni Upacala answered very intelligently and convinced the Devil that she only walked on the path of the Middle Way, not self so she did not want to be born anywhere. . Through diligence in her studies, she realized that the whole world was burned, burned, burned and stimulated by craving and fervor even though the Heavenly Realm did not guarantee peace. real.

Not burned, not moved, not wishing, not entangled in any place, that is the wisdom of practicing the Middle Way, Selflessness, Nirvana reality, and also a place of peace and happiness indeed, only those who practice the Dharma can experience it.     
             

SUTRA sisupacala

At the citadel, early in the morning, Bhikkhu-ni Sisupacala, wearing a bowls and bowls, went into the citadel to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"Bhikkhu-ni, who whose philosophy do you like?" 

"Hey you, I don't like anyone's philosophy."

"For whom she sought

and she shaved her head?

She looks like a cultivator

But do not like philosophy

Why are you wandering here?

How do you not understand her? "

"The pagan philosophers

Tin accept his opinion

I don't like their words

They have no wisdom

To understand the Dharma.

Only enlightened

Born in Sakyamuni

Who can not be compared:

Tier completely overpowered

Conquer all demons

Has won everything

There is freedom, freedom at

The legal evidence see throughout

The paragraph minus karma or

There are no more attachments

Completely freed

That is the Buddha

Is my guru

I like His Dharma. ”                                                                                            

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that, "Bhikkhu-ni Sisupacala knows me" and disappeared immediately.

 

Jar: Before and right at the time Buddha was the period of much thought and philosophy of Indian religious development; The most prominent are the Six Philosophical Paganists and 72 antagonists who argue and fight like: 1. No comment of Pùrana kassapa (Phu-lan-na Ca-lettuce) advocates random theory, abandon the law -Real, that all human misery, blessed, just random that there, good or evil does not have retribution. 2. Materialism of Ajita Kesakambilin (A-multi-States United-Kham-Ba-la-la) that human beings by the four great harmony, death is finished, the four elements return to the four elements, live is to enjoy material pleasures. 3. The determinism of Makkahi Gosala (Mat-old-le-Cu-amnesty) also known as Nature-Essay or Tuc-network-thesis that all natural laws govern, not will. Fate dominates and arranges joy and liberation ... of the people. 4.

When Sisupacala Bhikkhu-ni replied to the Devil that she did not like any Philosophy, she was questioned by the Devil that if she did not like the Philosophy, why did she shave her head, leave the house, and 'wander' in the forest just like a monk. If one does not seek something, pursuing a certain Philosophy and abandoning all worldly life is a contradictory answer ... and the devil does not understand what this Teacher means (?)

Sisupacala explained to the Devil that all the Philosophies (above) were heathen because they could not disengage their inner afflictions, and they were all outside the doctrine of believing in their views. The nun only believes in the Buddha, the complete emancipation, conquers all evil thoughts, except all karma or ignorance, is free and free to practice under the guidance of Him.

In fact, she is also following the philosophy of the philosophy of no-self, liberation; rather than the philosophies that argue with inherent attachments, without the present momentary stray, do not meet the need to liberate human suffering forever.

Sela 

In Xa Ve, in the early morning, Bhikkhu-ni Sela hugged him in a bowl and walked into Xa Ve city to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"Who made this doll?

Where did its creator?

From where are the dolls born?

Where does it perish? "

At this moment, the thought came to Bhikkhu-ni Sela: "Who just read this sentence - is it a human being or not a human being?" Then the thought already existed with the bhikkhuni: "This is the Devil, who read this sentence to arouse fear, terror, and persecution, wanting to free us from meditation."

When the bhikkhuni realized that "this is the Devil," the bhikkhuni answered it with these sentences:

“The selfless doll

Dolls are impermanent

Not others created

Depending on predestined conditions

That it has arisen

When predestined dispersion

It's the time when it perished

Like seeds sprouting

Planted in the garden

Because of the taste of the soil

Along with its moisture ...

Just like that

The aggregates and precepts

Along the same country

Depending on predestined conditions

They just formed

When predestined disintegration

Then they perished. " 

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that "Bhikkhu-ni Sela knew me" and disappeared immediately.

 

Bình:  In this Sutta the Devil also wants to try the wisdom of Bhikkhu-ni Sela on the philosophical propositions of Human Life and the Worldview that no one has yet answered. Who created the doll (color, can also be understood as a human, is the presence of the teacher)? Where is its creator? Where did it come from? When did he die ...?

The ancient philosophy of Theistic Religion only creates fictional answers: Every species is created by a God (God, God ...), the world and sentient beings are moved by the hand of God, when he dies he returns to God ... But there cannot be a fictional answer of fiction: who created God and where is God (?)

The intellectual aspirations to solve problems are just aspirations, not getting anywhere. Sela nun following the enlightened teachings of the Blessed One should know that the rupa / body is Selfless, because it is impermanent. No one created and mastered it. Depending on karmic conditions, there is birth, there is cylinder, there is corruption and there is loss.

The conditions to create the body include 5 UAN (Skandhas): rupa (physical) and feeling, thought, action, consciousness (psychology), combined with 12 Origin (āyatana): 6 Internal origin (aka 6 bases - Ajjhattika-àyatana) eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind contact with the 6 Abroads (also called the six ceilings - Bàhyu-àyatana) colors, bars, flavors, flavors, emotions, dhammas. When the six states of origin (base) are closely associated with the six states of origin (ceiling), there are six distinct forms of consciousness (Vijnàna): visual consciousness, ear consciousness, consciousness, consciousness, bodily consciousness and consciousness. Thus the six bases, the six ceilings, and the six consciousness combined are 18 precepts (dhātu). The skandhas made world conditions to create sentient beings. The skandhas are also the epistemological process of Buddhist worldview and human outlook. 

The example of the predestined condition of the body is clearly and vividly illustrated by the Bhikkhuni-ni Sela: a seed is sown into the garden, and then it germinates thanks to the taste, the silt of the soil, thanks to in the humidity, the weather, etc., that a new seed exists. Aggregates, Origin, Precepts, when enough conditions and conditions come together, form the mind and mind together, and when conditions arise, the existence disappears.

Knowing the body and mind is false, the world and human life are a combination of the aggregates of the world, seeing all things as conditions, so without craving, without attachment, without being, without problems, afflictions suffering also has no place to dwell. The mindless style of Bhikkhu-stilts-ni Sela is the ultimate view of any practitioner practicing according to the Buddha's teachings.

Vajira 

At the Citadel, in the early morning, Bhikkhu-ni Vajira hugged him in a bowl and walked into the citadel to beg for alms. When the bhikkhuni went begging for food in Xa Ve and returned, after his son's meal, Bhikshun went to the garden of Mr. Cap-Co-Single to rest in the daytime. Once deep into the garden of the Level-Co-Lon, Bhikkhu-ni sat down under a tree to meditate.

Then there was an Devil, who wanted to stir up the fear, terror, and terror of the Bhikkhunis, wanted to make this bhikkhuni distract, approach and speak to Bhikkhunis in these this question:

"Who created sentient beings?

Where did its creator?

Sentient beings from?

And where to when? ”

At this moment, the thought came to Bhikkhu-ni Vajira: "Who just read this sentence - is it a human being or not a human being?" Then the thought already existed with the bhikkhuni: "This is the Devil, who read this sentence to arouse fear, terror, and persecution, wanting to free us from meditation."

When the bhikkhuni realized that "this is the Devil," the bhikkhuni answered it with these sentences:

"What do demons think

New to a being?

Can you master it?

Full of fake sets

There are no sentient beings

Can be determined.

Like gathering many parts

Which has a horse-drawn carriage

The same goes for aggregates

Gathered into beings.

Because there is suffering that born

Suffering exists, perishes

No suffering is not born

No suffering will not die. ” 

Then the Devil was sad and disappointed when he realized that, "Bhikkhu-ni Vajira knew me" and disappeared immediately.

 

Commentary:   Just like the sutta number 9, this discourse The Devil also wants to test the wisdom of Bhikkhu-ni Vajira on the question of a thousand lives: Who creates sentient beings, where do sentient beings die ...? With sharp intellect, Vajira-sensei asked the Devil if he understood the word 'being' and mastered it and asked so far (?)

'Living beings' with the explanation of the nun means 'they are predestined to be born' (衆 緣 而 生, 衆 緣 而 共 成 - Kammabhava paccayā jāti- Bhava-paccayā jāti), created by conditions Many factors, without a real subject to identify. Kinh Na Tien said that Hop 32 can be presented, 5 aggregates, 12 countries and 18 precepts called human, as well as "a collection of frames, crates, cakes, convertibles ... into one that is temporarily called car. Likewise, uniting all head, face, hands, feet, breath, words, suffering, joy, goodness, evil ... into one unit which they temporarily call the "I". to facilitate surface discrimination. Actually, there is no real "I" at all! " So many things that are not sentient beings form what we temporarily call beings.

Beings that arise due to predestination also arise due to predestination, but due to rebirth are a simple answer. Here she replied that due to suffering (or, karma, suffering as conditions for reincarnation (Samsàra)), the Sutta also considers the Name-Body to be a cause for Rebirth, Name (name) and Body (or Sac , i.e. earth, water, fire, wind).

Suffering in the above sentence is karma. Buddha taught: "Man is the owner of the karma, the heir of the karma, the kin of karma; karma is the womb from which humans were born. " (Chinese Central Business). Thus karma exists and perishes; if there is no karma, there will also be no birth. The passing away is only for those who are still ignorant, and still moved by karma. with an author like Bhikkhu-ni Vajira, one of the ten Nuns of the Blessed One, being and passing away is just a flower spotted in nowhere when the mind no longer has a disturbing mind, an infinite state of mind. as pure as the full moon in the darkness of the ignorance and illusion. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/5/2020.
