Sounds like this:

At one time when the Buddha and the great bhikkhus, the great Bodhisattvas went to the Ganges River, gods, people, demons, gods, dragons, people, not humans, and newcomers who initiated their innumerable ideas, all They both held incense, their music skills followed Buddha. When they arrived at the Ganges river, they all sat down the court; When the congregation was sitting still, on the fifteenth day of the month, the precepts day, Ananda stood up from the court, adjusted his clothes, came forward to pay homage, touched the Buddha's feet, and then knelt and accepted his hands. that:

-The disciple has sat steadily, bowed to the Buddha could preach the Precepts.

The Buddha was silent and did not answer, and Ananda immediately returned to his seat, until midnight, Ananda stood up again, came to the front, and knelt in the Buddha:

- It's already midnight, the disciples all sit quietly, looking forward to hearing the Buddha's sermon of the Sutra.

The Buddha was silent again and did not answer, Ananda came back to his seat for a long time, the chicken was about to crow, Ananda came to the front and knelt down, accepting the Buddha's hand:

- The house is about to crow, the disciple wishes to hear the Buddhist theory of the Sutra.

The Buddha told Ananda:

- Human life and death go back and forth in the five ways, in the world is very miserable, those who do not know the previous life, the original and the top, are all due to the not being so righteous. It is very difficult for a human body to be able to gain access to the body, the more difficult it is to hear the Buddha's Sutra, the more difficult it is to have heard the Buddha's Sutra, and to believe that entering Buddhism is even more difficult. more and more difficult. The Buddha wanted to say the Vinaya, but now there is a disciple sitting in this group who is unable to receive the Sutta Pitaka of the Buddha, so the Buddha did not say the vows.

Ananda Buddha:

- I do not know where the disciple who did not practice the Precepts sits where?

Mr. Dai Muc Lien Lien was in the three thirties, throughout seeing that the disciple did not observe the precepts, immediately stood up and went before him saying:

- You are a disciple of the Buddha that cannot receive the Precepts, that is, you waste, cannot sit together with the venerable monks, get up, go out, not be able to return to them.

The Buddha told him Dai Muc Lien Lien:

- You have cleverly explained, causing the disciple to not keep the precepts out of here, so embarrassed he should go out.

The Buddha told his disciples:

- Good luck! Now we sermon.

The disciples all accepted to say:

- Yes, we would like to receive teachers.

The Buddha taught:

- The tidal water in the high seas at rising times does not exceed the old level, at times it does not go beyond the old level. The disciples should all be righteous, righteous thoughts go back to self-view in their five organs, think about samsara is very painful, please observe the Precepts, do not chipped. The person who holds the five precepts is born back into the human world. The person who holds the ten precepts is born into heaven, who holds the 250 in this world is the result of Arahant, the Buddha's Bich Chi, the Buddha Bodhisattva, and the Great Path. Thanks to the religion that is a human body, should observe the precepts, even if you die, you will die, but do not have to make mistakes, even though it is as big as hair.

For example, the water in the ocean at morning, at night, when going up, when down, dare not exceed the old level. There are seven treasures in the sea. What are seven?

1. White bank

2. Golden color

3. Corals

4. Bach Chau

5. Far away

6. Minh Nguyet Chau

7. Manila.

Those are the seven treasures in the sea.

Now in Buddhism there are seven treasures. The Buddha taught: the seven treasures are:

1. Tu da complete

2. Tu da jaw

3. A na function

4. Arhat

5. Bich Chi Buddha

6. Play the concept of all Bodhisattvas

7. Buddha Ne complete great religion.

That is insecure. To be virtuous, it is necessary to remove lust, anger, ignorance, to maintain the precepts of diligence containing a lot of merit, pure inside and outside, to keep extraordinary highness. Thus, the water in the sea does not contain unclean things. If someone dies, it is impure, stench, and impure, strong winds will blow ashore. Now in Buddhism, there are no impure evil people who do not keep the Precepts. Those who had committed the Sutra of the Precepts immediately were pulled out by the fist. For example, there are four types of rats. One is the rat in the room, the second is the rat in the house, the third is the rat in the wild field, and the other is the rat in a messy clean place. Rats that live in a room cannot live in flat land, rats that live in flat land cannot live in rooms, rats that live in wild fields cannot live in people's houses, rats in people's houses cannot. wild life, rats who live in a place that is both clean and dirty cannot get out of that place and live, because they do not know that the barn is so full. Humans also have four classes. Why is it called four classes? One is the righteous person who maintains the world not to commit offense, wants to be Arahant; the second is the diligent observant who wants to be the Buddha of Bich Chi; the third class is to maintain the world to learn, clear scriptures, intellectual memory of all, want to be Buddhism; the fourth class is disguised as a disciple, but can not maintain the precepts of wisdom, do not want to learn, hesitated because of fear of not attaining enlightenment. Those are disciples' past lives, like these four rats. the third class is to maintain the world to learn, clear scriptures, intellectual memory of all, want to be Buddhism; the fourth class is disguised as a disciple, but can not maintain the precepts of wisdom, do not want to learn, hesitated because of fear of not attaining enlightenment. Those are disciples' past lives, like these four rats. the third class is to maintain the world to learn, clear scriptures, intellectual memory of all, want to be Buddhism; the fourth class is disguised as a disciple, but can not maintain the precepts of wisdom, do not want to learn, hesitated because of fear of not attaining enlightenment. Those are disciples' past lives, like these four rats.

The Buddha taught:

- Hey, disciples, there are five great rivers in the sky. The water in the East has a big river called Sa Loc, the water in the South has a big river called Amida, the water in the West has a big river called Hang, the water in the North has a large river named Mac Boi Hoi, the main stream is named Vi Giang. They all flow into the sea and give up its own name, just called seawater.

The Buddha taught:

- Here, the disciples, with the Brahmin lineage, the lineage of Assassins, the Cong Master lineage, the Tian Family lineage, and the beggars, all of them claim that: "My family is noble", But wealth, bliss or indigence are like the water of five great rivers flowing into the sea. All lineages as disciples of the Buddha give up their own names, just call them disciples of the Buddha, how do we have to be rich and poor, and self-pay? The foreknowledge must teach the latter. Do not say: "I know the religion", then self-pay Do not say: "I study long, know many sutras", must not say: "The idea that I think is true to the religion, your thoughts are wrong, saying so is a transgression, not to enter into them. In the big and small teachings, we must teach and protect together, let's inherit together, there are people who do not understand the scriptures, not to tell them deep things, it is a big mistake. When it rains heavily,

Hey disciples, someone attained Tu Da Hoan; Someone obtained Tu Da Ham; someone obtained A Na Ham; someone obtained Arhat; Someone obtained Bich Chi Buddha; Someone obtained A Duy Viet Tri; some people attained Ne Hoan Buddhism; Some people come, some people go, Buddhism has not increased nor decreased. Like the sea water does not increase or decrease.

The Buddha taught:

- There are large fish in the sea: one is four thousand miles long; two are eight thousand miles long; three is ten thousand and two thousand miles long; four is ten thousand and six thousand miles long; the year is twenty thousand miles long; six is ​​twenty-four thousand miles long; seven is twenty-eight thousand miles long. If a person learns the religion, if he does not meet a master, he should know that there is such a great religion in the world. Go boating and playing in trenches, ponds and streams, you should know that there are big rivers in the world. The Buddha's sutras are like a big river, all the scriptures of the world come from the Buddhist scriptures. Sutras have been difficult to meet but be heard, so keep reading and recite them, back after thousands and years, there will be Buddha's Precepts again? The sun, moon, stars are sometimes destructive, but the practice of the Buddha's Sutra does not always destroy. From now on, the Buddha no longer had the sutra theory. The Buddha's sutras are very important.

After the Buddha said this sutra, the disciples respectfully observed the Precepts, gods, people, demons, gods, dragons all came forward, bowed to the Buddha face to face and retreated.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/9/2020.
