As a great disciple of the Buddha, Venerable Mahamudra has always practiced diligently and has become an exemplary person with noble virtues in the Buddha's congregation. The special thing is that the Buddha praised the virtuous practice of the Venerable Dai Ca Lettuce. In the row of Buddhist disciples, Ton fake Dai Ca Lettuce has kept the virtuous life in the first place. Illustration.

He practiced all the ascetic practices according to the practice point of time at that time. In the end, he realized, “Extreme austerities are of no use. It is the bodily formality, which does not bring enlightenment and liberation in the mind. In order to achieve the attainment on the path of the Supreme Bodhi path, it must be the middle way, without excessive austerity, nor excessive enjoyment ”. Since then, the Buddha instructed the Sangha to practice 13 virtuous deeds . We all know that Buddhism is the middle way. Buddha also by avoiding the two extremes of sensual pleasures and austerities, attained enlightenment. After enlightenment, on the way of propagation, The Ton still upholds the middle way stance. However, those who can endure with poverty, practice the first momentum for life, are still praised by the Blessed One. The life of the great disciples when the Buddha was still alive The Buddha praised the virtuous deeds In the row of Buddhist disciples, Ton fake Dai Ca Lettuce has kept the virtuous life in the first place. Although, at an old age, the strength and weakness, the path of liberation is full, and it is the Tathagata who advises "to give up the alms of alms, until the virtuous actions , but to accept the invitation of the rulers and accept the robes.

At that time, Ton fake Dai Ca-lettuce finished eating immediately to under a tree of meditation, finished meditation, immediately got up from the seat, repaired clothes, went to The Religion. At that time, World Religion saw Ca-lettuce from afar. The Ton said: - Damn it, Ca-Lettuce! Ca-lettuce to where the Buddha bowed and sat aside. The Ton taught that: - Lettuce!
