- There are three classes of this person, the Male-stilts, present, appear in life. How is dad People speak like poop, people speak like flowers, people like honey.

And the Male-stilts, how is the class like the stool? Here, the Male-stilts, there are people when going into the hall, or going to the congregation, or when going between the relatives, or when going between the people of a combination, or going to the middle And the king, who was led as a witness, was told, "What do you know, speak up"? He did not know, saying: "I know"; yes know, say: "I don't know"; don't see, say: "I have seen"; See, say, "I don't see." Because of me or for people, or for a few small things, but deliberately lied. Such people, the Male-stilts, are called as the stool.

And the monks, what kind of people speak like flowers? Here, monks, there are people when going to the hall, or when going to the congregation, or when going among the relatives, or when going between the people of a group, or going to the palace. The king, often taken as a witness, was told,  "Know what you speak, speak up." He does not know, saying: "I do not know"; yes know, say: "I know"; don't see, say: "I don't see"; have seen, said: "I have seen". Not for myself or for the sake of people, or for some small things that have been deliberately lied. Such people, monks, are called flowers like flowers.

And the Male-stilts, how is the class like honey? Here, the Male-stilts, some people take evil words, abandon evil words. His words were not harmful, his ears were lovely, his ears were lovely, he went straight to his heart, polite, liked by many people, liked by many people, he said such words. The Male-stilts, this is called classified people as confidential.

These three categories of people, monks, are present in life.

Remember the old days, more than half a century ago, the childhood of her generation, civilization of science and technology has not yet progressed, at that time I also gathered firewood, coal to cook rice, cook water. Childhood, there was no such a fascinating game as jumping on the trigger, or jumping rope, or playing card games. In addition, lying and listening to your parents tell a fairy tale, or "A Thousand and One Nights" and sleep well. Among those impressive fairy tales, she still remembers now:

..... Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, gentle young lady, but her mother died early. Her father has a second wife. This stepmother only loves her stepdaughter, often hates and torments the other girl. And the stupid girl who is spoiled by her mother should be even more lazy. One day, as usual, the beautiful and tender young woman went to the well to get water. A poor old woman who was so poor, was so unsteady that she trembled on a stick and asked for some water. The girl happily took water and invited her. After finishing drinking, the old lady smiled and thanked and blessed, "You are good, your words are like jewels." Then the old woman went away. The girl carried water home.

The stepmother, who saw her stepmother, said loudly: - "Why are you late?"

The little girl answered softly: - "Mom, I'm late because ..." then suddenly, pearls fell from each drop of sparkling beads.

The stepmother was surprised, then delighted and puzzled to ask what had happened. The girl told the story honestly about the poor old woman asking for water. Every word she said dropped beads of shining pearl. Then the stepmother told her daughter:

 "- Tomorrow I go to the well to get water. If a poor old woman came and asked for water, I remember being polite to give her water. Those are fairies. Remember me."

The girl obeyed her mother. She went to the well to get water, then waited for the poor old woman. After a while, there was a luxurious, beautiful young lady coming to ask for drinking water. The girl said immediately:

“- There is no water. I am not your servant. I only have water for a poor old woman. ”

The fairy said:

- "I'm not good. Your words are like frogs and snakes. Then the fairy disappeared.

The girl came home. Mother asked, "Why, have you met the poor old lady?"

The girl answered in a frustrated way: - "No. Only a beautiful young luxurious lady only. I scolded, and didn't give water ... ”At that moment, the frog cloned the snake centipede from her mouth.

The fairy tale is over. That day, the idea of ​​having a centipede's fake frog in his mouth was disgusting. When I first learned that it was only the old people who borrowed metaphors to remind me to be careful about words. As well as popular proverbs:

<Words do not cost you money to buy,

 Choose words that satisfy each other>.

Back to the meaning of the sutta "Speaks like a flower", Buddha simply explained the quality of the word.

+ Speak like feces: say not true, or lie.

+ Talking like flowers: telling the truth.

+ Speak like honey: polite, loving, helpful, true words make the listener happy.

We can develop more details that we can apply in everyday life. Example:

- True, But there are truths that should not be told. So be silent. Buddha said it was the silence of a saint.

- Speak at the right time and the right person.

- Non-flattering words, hoping to benefit themselves.

- Words of wisdom, new, useful to others.

- Do not discuss about ghosts, illusions, talismans.

- Do not talk about the future fortune-telling future.

- Do not talk of an absent person.

- Do not bring this person's story to the other person for the purpose of dividing.

- Do not criticize other people's mistakes.

- Do not participate in discussing the right or left of others. All referred to as marketing.

- Do not take hats. Even if people are wrong, do not make mistakes to others. How much I turn and then go turn moss for many people to know. It was like having a mouth full of fake frogs. In the above discourse, the Buddha classified as: <Speaking as a stool>.

- In the precepts, the Buddha made the mistake of disturbing the cultivators' mind (including the four of them: male monks, female monks, male laity, female laity) as a serious crime. Sangha, or sangha, is a group of people living in harmony together practicing according to the truths taught by Buddha. So the error of launching marketing, detractors, taking hats, sneaking ... are all "crimes of destroying the harmony of the Sangha", which is one of the five contradictions: killing father, killing mother, killing Arhat, make the Buddha's body bleed, and destroy the Sangha's harmony.

We claim to be Buddhas, so remember your words carefully. Because words are manifestations of Mind.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.24/6/2020.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
