Prince Cau Na La's eyes.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH. In ancient times in India there was a king named Ashoka who ruled over a very righteous people. When he was young, he was often angry but gradually he became gentle and gentle. Through His example, through the teaching given, He taught his people to be courteous to everyone and to be compassionate towards the afflicted. He set up a hospital to treat sick people, set up parks for people and objects to rest, sent wells to keep pedestrians and objects from becoming thirsty, and sent fruit trees and trees to be planted on both sides of the road for medicinal purposes. . Prince Cau Na La's eyes His first child had beautiful eyes like a bird "Na La". So people call him Sentence Na La. The king was very loving, Queen Lien Hoa was the mother of the Prince. The queen died early. But the Prince was loved and trusted by his father. His loving-kindness, tenderness, and humility make people love and respect them very much. His wife is very gentle, always pleasing Him, her name is Magdalene. The queen died, King Ashoka married an arrogant and cruel wife named Xich Di. After she gave birth to a child, she wished that it would be succeeded to the throne in place of the footsteps of Na La, and though without showing a single gesture, her heart hated the stepchild. When the king became seriously ill, the doctors had to give up, and she sought a cure, the king expressed his intention to thank her, she asked the king to grant her son the throne. It was so sad for King Ashoka. He was very sad because he could not please his benefactor, and he repeated his promise to the righteousness at death to only pass the throne to Prince Versa. He said: "I can give up the throne but cannot fulfill my promise". Seeing that something was not good, Xich Di asked the king to rule one day that she would decide later. The king obeyed, and she intended to do terrible things on that occasion. In the country, a city called Dac Xo Thi La rose up against the king's rulers. Queen Xich Di himself was also involved in that. In fact, first of all, she gave money to the mandarins and told her to take the city tax seriously, and then instigated the people to rebellion. The queen urged the people to ask the king to let Prince Cau Na La rule the city, using the excuse that only the Prince is righteous and rebellious. The next morning, delegates from Dac Xo Thi La came to request that, Xich Di thuong allowed the king to freely use his seal, which is used to seal the sent missions. That means she was in power that day. Then the delegates, the Queen approved their request, the king that only the Prince was admired by the people and thus brought the people to peace without the riot. The King was confused, because he suspected that the Queen had a strong mind. "There is nothing as dangerous as sending Prince to a rebellious city". Seeing that the king was worried, the Queen pretended to be in pain saying: "If the king still doubts her heart, she will not say anything from now on". Then she pretended to be angry and returned the seal to the king, because she knew how the king would not be able to collect it. Indeed, King Ashoka solemnly promises not to dare to take the seal back. Prince also insisted to go, he must consent. But wanted to make sure he intended to send an army to protect the Prince. The Prince refused to do that, because he thought he wanted to avoid the bloodshed, he had to act very quickly: If he went with the army, it would take a lot of time. Again he said: "If you have to see the sword like a forest, you can hear the horse whooping, the elephant roaring, the sound of the carriage, the drum sound, the trumpet sound. The King said nothing more. The prince said goodbye to Him, said goodbye to Ma Da Vi, and then rode on the horse Ma Dang La alone, going like the wind. He did not expect that there was an exaggerated knight behind his back. That is a person who is very loyal to the Queen, carrying within himself a mission that has the imprint of the king carefully. Prince riding a white horse to go fast The two sides of the village road, the mountain, the rice field, the green forest is retreating. But his name came even faster, because the world expected him to come. They prepared to receive him. Some sprinkle flowers on the road, some pick the fruit to give, and cheer up everywhere. The people asked the Crown Prince to forgive his sins because the people did not dare to rise up against the king, but only because those who visited the umbrella. Hear the chime. He pityed and forgave him and entered the city amidst the resounding music. The Crown Prince resets taxes and chooses the righteous to rule the people; The people rejoiced and sent delegates to the king to show his loyalty, and praised the Prince for bringing peace. Dac Xo Thi La was happy when suddenly many people rode horses with the Prince who had just arrived, and gave the civil servants a parable. Open up to see everyone in awe and fear because the seduction commanded: "Must take out the eyes of Prince Cau Na La, the powerful enemy of the king and the one who defiles his race". The lure said that when he did that punishment, no people could help the Prince and forbade mentioning his name. The officials did not dare to let the Crown Prince know the inhumane allegory. After a night of worry, they said to each other: "If we do not obey, there will be many dangers. Going to the Prince is a good man to all the people, but the King even arrested us." Tomorrow they offer seduction to the Prince. After reading it, he said: "This is the king's command, because it has a clear seal, and you will keep executing it." You also know that the father never ordered the execution of the child, that is only by the Queen, but has a seal, then must be obeyed. Folk are believed to carry out orders on a patch of land in the middle of the city. Up to now, the executioner has been ordered to remove the Prince's eyes, but we just accept with respectful hands: "We do not have the courage to do that". The Prince took off the string of pearls carried on his head and gave it to the executioner saying: "This is a bonus for you to fulfill your service." They still insist on refusing. Finally, there is a person with a weird shape, come to replace the executioners. But he also did not have the courage to use his hand to hook his eyes. He lit a large fire and fired a red iron and approached the Crown Prince. Prince sat naturally to burn his eyes. The scene at that time was so painful that thousands of people around were crying. Finished execution, the Prince propped up with one hand on the other, one hand signaled to everyone around to be quiet. The Prince advised to leave Him not to be saved and called out His name, just as in the commandment. They bowed and cried, while the Prince lay down on the ground. Listening to the hot sun, he dragged to a place with shade to rest. For a long time, he was quiet around without a sound. Suddenly he heard the approaching horse's footsteps and cried bitterly. Recognizing as the horse Mangasana, he said: "As for me, I should also leave my teacher". The horse wandered around a few times and then went away, out of the city, alone back on the road where he happily took the Prince away. Sundown. Some were moved to help Him. But there was a ban, they had to stand far away and shook their heads. After a long time a poor old woman walked up to him and took water to wash the pain and covered it with grass; His midwife helped him get up and helped him out of the village gate and then sighed back. While the Prince was in pain, the delegate of Dac Xo Thi La was warmly welcomed by the king. Seeing that the Crown Prince was praised for respect, Ma Da Vi was also less afraid, because she still felt anxious when she heard that her husband had to go to restraint. A few days later, she impatiently walked over to where she said goodbye to her husband; through the third day, she suddenly saw that the horse Maā La returned alone. A terrible thought passed through her mind; Then, like a log down tree, she fell unconscious. When she woke up, she thought that perhaps her husband had been killed by the rebels. "Why can't I believe my husband is still alive?" If you are not sure, why don't we go looking for a husband? ”Thinking like that she did not lose a minute, returned to the palace, took off her jewelry, ate like a commoner, and then escaped to find her husband she did not dare to give to the king know, afraid of the king because he loves to take it back. She fled to the city of Dak Xo Thi La, her intestines hurt as if she cut, along the way, she asked if she met the Crown Prince? Going from day to day, I did not believe anything. Just out of the night shelter one morning, she immediately met a farmer sowing seeds. He said that at dawn, walking through the small woods, he saw a young blind man dressed in a royal robe; The farmer immediately gave him some fruits from the forest and a cup of water. Ma Da Vi immediately came to that place, she saw Senta La La sitting alone on the rock. But painfully, his messy glands have completely disappeared. She cried and knelt before him choked, took his hand to kiss. Hearing the tears dripping down his hand, Prince was touched, guessing that Ma Da Vi. But he did not dare to believe. By the time she heard her clearly, there was no doubt. He told her to sit down; During that time of suffering, to meet my loved one, my joy was overwhelming. The Prince told his wife what happened. Then she helped him up and brought him together in the eyes of his father. As for King Ashoka, since he heard that the horse Maasana was alone and the Maa Vi fled, he was very concerned. Immediately sent an envoy to Dac Xo Thi La to inquire about the Prince and find Ma Da Vi. The people in the city, seeing that the king was concerned about the Prince, immediately understood that they were deceived by the first lure. Fearing being severely punished, they tried to deceive the messenger that the Prince was alone in the court. The people around did not dare to reveal their teeth, because they knew that they would say they would be punished. Suspect messengers have killed Prince but no evidence to return. Meanwhile, the Prince and his wife brought together the sutras. At that time, the Crown Prince took off his royal clothes and wore ragged clothes because in that scene, jewelry only made the heart ache. Going through the village, the couple sang a pure and gentle singing, and villagers were moved to give food to eat and drink. One day the two went to the king's palace. The door guard saw that people were doing a lot of work, so they didn't let in. But saw the pitiful scene of clothes torn and muddy so they stayed in the car storage area. Tired, two people fell asleep. Tomorrow King Ashoka thought of his son in sadness, he was startled because he heard the familiar singing voice; It was the Prince's singing in the garage. The King recognized it as a son, but was afraid of mistakes. He sent out and asked who sang. The near god said that it was the singing of a blind beggar who went with a wife. The king immediately sent the other couple to the dragon yard. At first, seeing the king in ragged clothes, he doubted that he would accept to be a son, but the gentle face of his kindness is really that of the Prince. Furthermore, even though Maas Vi Vi's coarse clothes are also easy to recognize. The King looked at the bride, looked at her son, and hugged both of them, sobbing. For a long time, the king regained consciousness and asked why the Prince was in accident. When he understood the reason, the king got angry and asked, "Who dares to use my seal to do heavenly work?". The Prince sat still, because he did not want to say because he was afraid that the Queen would be punished and asked forever, the new Maa Vi reminded the king that Queen Xich Di was allowed to use the king's seal for one day. Many times the King suspected that the Queen had a wicked heart towards the Prince. Because you think, if the Queen wants me to be enthroned, that means wanting to except Prince Senta Na; However, he still did not dare to believe. But now that it was clear, He immediately commanded the Queen to come. As for the Queen, since she was able to execute the trick, she has not slept or slept; When he took a nap, he saw the sight of the Prince being executed. Then just woke up and worried. She worries that her crime will have a date to reveal. She imagined that from the king of the people, soldiers and mandarins, everyone could see clearly their hearts, making her even more anxious. When the order was ordered, she guessed that the disclosure, when she saw her crimes, she regretted but stopped speaking, just lowered her eyes, waiting for the verdict. That attitude was clearer than a confession. King Ashoka angrily scolded and said that before taking the Queen to slash, he also suffered many suffering. Prince asked the king to open the amount of compassion to reduce the crime for her. But the king still didn't listen. The Prince knelt down and said: "My lord, the Queen is not guilty alone! It was just my previous life that I have committed many crimes, so now I have received karma. It has been a long time I tried to remember to see it again. What crime did I commit in my previous life, but I did not remember until last night ... " King interrupted: "Like me, then what is the crime, you are the best man in the world!". The Prince was touched: "A gentle person is not necessarily innocent. Because if this life is meek, but in the previous life, we must bear retribution. My father, in the past, had a hunter. One day when I saw fifty wild goats in the mountain, I went up to the mountain to catch them all. He took them one by one to the province and sold them. fifty sentient beings, today is the last day he pays the debt ". The King was touched, but still wondered if he did not believe, the Prince sat neatly, clasped his hands in front of his chest and said: "If my words are true, please prove it to the Buddha and my eyes light up". The words were just finished, the Prince's eyes suddenly lit up as usual, and King Aoka and Maana Vi were overjoyed. The king quelled his anger to order amnesty for her, Xich Di only forced her to find a place to confess her sins. Since then, the throne will be solid, while the Crown Prince is officially crowned Dong Palace to succeed the throne and Ma Da Vi will be the Queen. Prince Senta is the precursor to Buddha Shakyamuni.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/5/2021.
