Self from the Buddha's time in life.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

The scholar Luong Khai Sieu (1873-1929), where the study "Talking about the four A Hams" gave 6 characteristics to emphasize the importance of these four sutras, the third feature is:

"A Ham has a talent of a kind of" language of practice ", the nature is roughly the same as the book" Thesis Language ", so if you want to experience the reality of the Buddha, you cannot help but study A Ham" (1 ).

Such a comment is completely valid. Reading 4 sets of A Ham, we will see that these are facts, descriptions, narratives, reflection on life, features of activities, steps of practice, behavior of Germany. Buddha with some contemporary economic and social aspects. On the occasion of the Vu Lan season, we would like to translate and introduce a short sutra recounting a self-centered activity of the Buddha.

Although short, but this sutta contains many values, especially historical values, so it is present in both the sutras of Southern and Northern Buddhism.

I heard like this:

At one time, the Blessed One traveled in the garden of Ca Lan Da, belonged to Vuong Xa citadel, in the summer retreat season, together with a mass of 500 monks, all of them Arahants, had finished the contraband, all works have been completed, all burdens are removed, no karma bound, righteous thoughts, and liberated mind, except for one who is signed by the Tathagata in the present life will eliminate all contraband.

It was the full moon day of the seventh month, when it was time for self-discipline, the Blessed One sat in front of the Sangha, telling the monks:

- Teachers should know! Tathagata is a virtuous person, for the path of liberation, this life of the body is the last body, the noble physician pulls the poison arrow. The teachers are all children of the Tathagata because they are from the heart, from the Tathagata's mouth, are the children of the Tathagata, because from the Dharma of birth. Today the Tathagata wants to be self-sufficient, so is there any mistake in the body, mouth, and mind of the Tathagata?

Venerable Xa Loi Phat was sitting in the middle of the mass, then got up, corrected his clothes, and put his hands together towards the Buddha, said:

- Dear Duc The Ton! As Buddha just said, Tathagata is a virtuous person ... We do not see in the body, mouth of the Buddha there is any mistake at all. Why ? The Religion, for those who have not been treated, makes them suitable, those who are not yet still remain calm, make the people with the brain safe, and those who are not liberated make liberation. The Buddha is the one who understands the religion, is the only one who shows the direction, the one who talks about the religion, the one who leads the way. The disciples followed the great teachings of the Buddha. The kind of study, according to the Dharma, always teaches each other, helps each other in friendly law. We do not see in the body, mouth, and mind of the Blessed One there is any mistake.

Religion Xa Loi Phat continued:

- Thế Tôn! Today, please teach compassionately about my body, mouth, and mind with my mistakes and defects.

Buddha told the Buddha to fake Xa Loi Phat:

- Tathagata does not see the teacher has any mistakes at all. Why ? Because the fake Religion is someone who always maintains the pure precepts, is a multi-writer, has little desire, knows enough, leaves a stable place, prefers a quiet place, has full diligence, concentration, is wisdom, quick, diligent, flexible, special, of the great knowledge, except Tathagata, but no one else's wisdom is equal to his teacher. Because the teacher has achieved a profound and profound knowledge, he is always happy to teach to benefit learners, his mind is not jealous, seeing someone who is capable, he will always teach wholeheartedly, happily, happily praised, if because The four of them who speak the dharma are not tired. So now, the teacher does not have any mistakes in body, mouth or mind.

Venerable Religion Buddha told the Buddha:

- Thế Tôn! The five hundred bhikkhus here, Did the Sun see any mistakes in your body, mouth, or mind?

Buddha says:

- Tathagata does not see in the body, speech and mind of the five hundred monks here that have any mistakes at all. Why ? These five hundred monks are all Arahants, the contraband has ceased, all artifacts have been completed, the burdens have been dropped, achieved their own benefits, are no longer tied up, mindfulness and mind attain liberation. . Because of that meaning, the Tathagata did not see them having any mistakes in body, mouth, or mind.

The false religion of Xa Loi Phat replied:

- Thế Tôn! The Religion did not blame the five hundred monks here for having any small defects, nor did they see any mistakes in body, mouth, or mind. Dear The Ton! These five hundred monks have how many full three vows, how many attained "liberation sentences", attained liberation!

Buddha taught:

In them, there are 90 monks with full 3 intelligence, 180 attained "liberation sentences", the rest have attained liberation.

The false religion of Xa Loi Phat replied:

These five hundred monks have left all defilement and defilement, no corruption, are the quintessential.

At this time, Ton fake Ba Ky Xa is present in the masses, so he thought:

Today Buddha is self-centered, I want to say shelf to praise this.

Imitation immediately clasped his hands towards the Buddha, said: - Dear World! Please allow me to say whatever.

After being approved by the Buddha, Sun fake Lady Ky Xa read the verse:

"Today is the Full Moon, the pure day

Five hundred monks meet the same meeting

All are rid of all fetters

As the first to end all career

Sincere close to Duc The Ton

All are freed, no life after

The cessation of samsara has been completed

The contraband has taken place, unexpectedly agitated

Greed, karma, and pride are all excepted

Poisoning name, killing love karma

Lions in life, leave the players

Tied up, fear ends, dies

Like the great king rotation order

Magic pants, entourage surrounded

Travel everywhere, to the sea

Where the battle is always won big

Disciple of the ultimate merchant

All three intelligence, beyond life and death

Truly a child of the Buddha

Completely pure, no contamination

Respect for the relative of the sun ". END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.29/8/2020.
