After the Buddha passed away, at the time of the first collection of scriptures, Venerable Dai Ca Chien Dien and twelve bhikkhus... Similarities between the Vu Lan Sutra in the Chinese Tripitaka & the Demonic Utara Sutra in the Nikayas - After the Buddha passed away , at the time of the first collection of the sutras, Venerable Maha Kassapa and twelve bhikkhus were in the forest near Kosambi. At that time, Uttara was the heir of the national teacher and the carpenters were looking for wood to repair the house, and they heard the Elder preach the Dharma. Therefore, Uttara often offered food and built hermitage for him. But Uttara's mother hated her son's offerings. She swore that any food that I offered to the recluses but she did not agree would become blood for me to drink in the next life. However, on the day that her son made an offering to the hermitage, she allowed a bundle of peacock tail feathers to be offered. When she died, she was reborn as a female hungry ghost and thanks to an offering of a bundle of peacock tail feathers, she had beautiful, shiny black hair that covered her whole body. But whenever the female ghoul stepped into the river to drink water from the Ganges, the river's water turned red. She had been wandering hungry for fifty years. One day, the hungry ghost woman suddenly saw the Elder Kankha Revatta sitting on the bank of the Ganges for lunch, and crept up to her and told her that she had been dead for fifty years and could not eat or drink anything. Please give me some water, I am very thirsty. The elder said that the cool water of the Ganges is in front of you, go down there to drink. The female hungry ghost replied, Venerable Master, if I take water from this river with my own hands, the water will turn into blood. Please give me water. The Elder said that in the past, what bad karma did you create, but when you touch the water of the Ganges, it turns into blood. The female hungry ghost replied that Uttara was my son, and when he was still a layperson, he often offered contemplatives food, sitting tools, medicine, and kashāya. His heart was prompted by greed, so he slandered his son that I pray that the things that you bring to Sa-mon will turn into blood. Because of such karma, my hand touched the water of the Ganges and turned into blood. Then, Venerable Revatta offered water to the Sangha and dedicated the merit to the female hungry ghost. Thanks to the religious power of the Venerable and the monks, the female hungry ghost enjoyed the happiness of the fairy. Through the above story, we see that there are a few details that are different from the story of Muc Kien Lien saving his mother in the Vu Lan Sutra . Muc Kien Lien used his supernatural powers to observe his mother falling to hungry ghosts, immediately came to save her and he met his biological mother. After that, he made offerings to the monks to help his mother, and the Buddha praised Muc Kien Lien's filial piety. While the Sutra of Utara is the mother of demons, it is recorded that the mother fell to the hungry ghost to find her child and meet the Venerable Revatta. This one instead of the hungry ghosts made offerings to the monks and the Venerable Revatta praised this good deed. However, these differences do not affect the content of the sutra. Because the main content of the sutras according to the Nikayas and the Chinese are the same, that is, both sutras refer to a mother slandering the Three Jewels, disdainful of her children's offerings to the Sangha, and falling to the hungry ghosts. Finally, thanks to the power of the monks, the mother's hungry ghost life was resolved and she was reborn in a peaceful realm. This once again clearly shows the consistent continuity from the Nikaya to the Northern Buddhist canon in general and the Vu Lan Sutra in particular. In addition, on the way of spreading Buddhism and integrating Buddhism into the religious activities of countries in a good way of Northern Buddhism, Dharma preachers have used skillful means, step by step. making Buddhism penetrate deeply into the hearts of the nation and manifest into festivals, especially the Vu Lan festival in our country. Indeed, the Buddha taught Muc Kien Lien in the Vu Lan Sutra how to pay filial piety to save the mother who was falling into the hungry ghost species. The morality of filial piety taught by the Buddha is in line with the traditional lifestyle of the Vietnamese nation "Drink water, remember the source", so the full moon day of the seventh month of the Vu Lan season has been imbued in the Vietnamese people's soul for generations. filial piety season, not just Buddhists. From the ritual of praying for the souls of loved ones with a religious character, today's Vu Lan festival has become the Vu Lan Festival of filial piety of Buddhism and moreover, it has become a great festival of moral and human meaning. profoundly for the children of Vietnam. Indeed, the full moon day of the seventh month of the Vu Lan season, in parallel with chanting and making offerings to the deceased relatives, July is also a month for people to do meritorious deeds, to help the needy and poor. etc... to taking care of the soldiers who sacrificed a part of their body for the survival of the Fatherland. And the full moon of the seventh month of the Vu Lan season is also the month to show compassion for lower living beings by releasing birds, releasing fish, etc. In addition, it is impossible not to mention the custom of worshiping the souls of the people. Vietnam in the Vu Lan season,Literature of the Ten Kinds of Beings: “… Shame on the Ten Kinds of Beings. The single-beaten soul is floating in your hometown… Namo Buddha, Namo Phap, Namo Sang. The level for giving must be super-elevated to the upper stage." In summary, from the Nikayas to the Northern Buddhist scriptures, including the Vu Lan Sutra , the essence of which the Buddha advised is one. However, on the way of the introduction of Northern Buddhism into different countries, the preachers have gradually skillfully applied the teachings to adapt to the customs, habits and specific activities of the people. indigenous people to bring the Buddha's spirit into the hearts of the masses. That is the way to light up the Buddha's Dharma lamp that has existed and developed throughout more than 25 centuries in this world.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.18/8/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
